March 31, 2017Comments Off on Studying for citizenship

More light

March 30, 2017Comments Off on More light

I cannot believe how amazing live feels when you have access to sunshine. The UK changed its clocks on the weekend (1 hour forward) and the sun is out (yes we get sunshine in the UK – a lot actually but not as warm as other places) later at night….

Sad day today

March 29, 2017Comments Off on Sad day today

Well today is a sad day with regards my time in the UK – Theresa May has signed Article 50 and it will be delivered to the EU today and the process of the UK leaving the EU will start. With a weak opposition and a Tory party which appears…

Chesty cough and running

March 28, 2017Comments Off on Chesty cough and running

This damn chesty cough will not go away quickly enough. I have not been able to run for a week and it is feeling itchy. Hopefully back on the feet soon. On another note the sun is shining in London and the driving in on the motorbike is awesome in…

Run last night

Wow. I have to admit it is tough to get back into running after you have had flu. Your chest is tight and breathing is not perfect BUT I did it and ran 3.10km.  It was a good run and I actually felt good afterwards ( even though mentioned above…

Cold and flu

Waiting

Currently in the BA Business Class Lounge waiting to find out what my gate number is for the flight to Copenhagen. Very lucky to be able to upgrade flights and travel so extensively. Miss Mrs W during these times but I can be seen as the scout for our future…

Compression running socks

March 10, 2017Comments Off on Compression running socks

Spent a few pounds today on compression socks for running. They are meant to aid blood flow during running and also assist with recovery after running. Will see how this works out (I’m a beginner runner at the moment). Nice and tight on the calfs and cushioning inside the shoe…
