Week of 5 January 2026 It came to my attention this week that my first post on this blog was on 5 January 2011, so this week was the 15th birthday of my blog! I research and write my posts myself. I do not use AI in my writing....

Week of 29 December 2025 This was a week of low expectations and not much going on, as we said farewell to another year. So this is a kind-of sort-of year in review post. This post is wholly researched and written by me. I do not use AI in...

Friday was Day 30 of 30 days of yoga. I did it! I gave up my morning walks most days to make the time to do yoga in the mornings, and reduced my daily step target to 12,000. I missed reaching it on nine of the 30 days but...
