Ninety minutes of walking with the dog today – in the thaw and fielding team calls on the way. It’s efficient in the sense that it makes it possible for me to actually get out and make my walking commitment during the working day – but trying to combine managing the dog, talking in the … Continue reading →

There is a theme emerging about the general suckiness of Mondays. Whether it’s because my Monday walk is usually a 06.00 teeth-gritted challenge (so as to not distract from the tsunami of email that arrives over the weekend), or because Monday in general is a bit awful I’m not sure. When I move to a … Continue reading →

More snow! Though it’s wet and not sticking thank goodness. A longish but slower walk today around the woods. Time to chat with my Mum who came with me having been stranded at my house for a week. Continue reading →

A hearty breakfast, and an hour’s walk from Victoria to Kings Cross carrying about three stone of luggage. No need to zip my coat up – I was glowing after the first 10 yards! So that’s my walk commitment done, but not my steps…. Continue reading →

Which meant that my 45 minute dog-walk in the snowy park … Continue reading →

Uggghhhhhh. Mondays! My walk this morning was crammed in between 06.00 and 07.00. In the cold, cold darkness. And with half of it on the phone to Singapore. Grim. But it still managed to improve my mood! Continue reading →

Today’s walk was delivered in two chunks – a lovely 45 minutes this morning with both girls and the dog, and a longer hour-long session along the canal in the evening sunshine. The woods this morning were sunny, and fairly dry underfoot. The air smelled of the shoots of wild garlic that are already beginning … Continue reading →
