Week 25/2023: Winter solstice
Wintering doesn’t come easy Week of 19 June 2023 I like the idea of celebrating winter solstice in some way but it never seems to happen. The fault is entirely mine, of course. I don’t plan anything, and I certainly don’t like to go outside, which is what the...
Week 23/2023: Back to back
Week of 5 June 2023 Back to my back This week I had an appointment of some sort every day except Monday, including a double-up on Friday, when I also had to take my mother to an appointment. I went to the physio for the first time in a...
Week 32/2022: Joyful movement

Week 34/2021: observe
Week 34/2021: Week of 23 August 2021 What did I want to do better this week? Walking. Mornings and afternoons. So, how did that go then? I went for a walk every morning and every afternoon except Monday. I’m counting walks that have an actual purpose as well as...

20 for 2020: week 32
Week of 3 August My 20 for 2020 list. We got the reading material for our final unit of the uni course (thing 8) on Monday. I spent a couple of hours organising the material and making a study plan so I know what I need to do over...
19 for 2019: week 26 update
Coming up to the middle of the year, I’ve completed nine of my 19 things I wanted to do this year. That’s pretty close to half, although the pedant in me says that half of 19 is nine-and-a-half, which is rounded up to ten, so I should have completed...
Southwest Tasmania Day 1 (part 2)
In the first week of the school holidays, we took a few days off and travelled to Strathgordon on Lake Pedder in the southwest Tasmanian wilderness. You can read about our first stop on the way, at The Needles, here. Or if you just want to look at some...
