19 for 2019: a review
It’s coming up to the end of the year so it’s a good time to reflect on my 19 for 2019 list: what went well and what I didn’t quite do. I haven’t posted for a while because there hasn’t been much to say now. Every week since week...

19 for 2019: week 24 update
Week of 10 June This week was much better than the last few weeks have been. I got up every day and went for a walk. I count that as a win. I also completed another of my 19 things! Yes! I had to go to the GP and...
