I bumped into someone from my old team the other day. With her was my replacement who had begun the role a month ago. I am not rude and didn't want to blank her, so I began talking to her so that she wasn't just sat back observing our conversation. I introduced myself and asked … Continue reading Dealing with the negative
I have recently read the book How to Win Friends and Influence People - a book that is probably one of the most famous self-improvement books ever published.

Following on from my post about fearing the gym, I thought I would share this story of when I did experience the thoughts of sheep.

Noramlly when I talk about cutting a fitness schedule, I usually refer to a run - I wasn't even going to the gym. Combined with Christmas, New Year, an increase in snacking at … Continue reading Ninety One Point Four Kilo Grams

Personally I think how someone presents their garden says a lot about a person and I have always wanted to grow my own veg - so it was a natural move for me to dedicate some time in Spring to this aim. I started growing … Continue reading Setbacks
I thought I would write about some pretty cool people who inspire me. I have been reading a few things about them recently. By some coincidence they also happen to have beards.
