Time. It’s a wonderful thing but how often do we say that we don’t have enough of it? It’s always a good excuse for putting things off or not doing things you know you should. However, as is often the case, really really simple and important stuff gets swept up in this blanket response to the opportunities that life gives you.
So it’s raining at the moment. Which is fine. Some may say necessary, but I don’t think I would be the only one who thinks that waking up to heavy downpour does nothing for making you want to get out of bed. Much less go for a run or do anything productive. Whilst I’ve still gone out [...]
So today saw the end of the first week of my life improvement plan (I’m taking weekends off) and after completing my 5th 1.7m mile run of the week I was feeling like I was in pritty good shape. That was until I met 4 times Olympic gold medalist Sir Chris Hoy at the Manchester Velodrome!
So far so good. Life improvement plan is going well, I’ve finally managed to track some runs now I’ve replaced my faulty Nike+ band and despite the aches I think I am finding running easier every morning. None of this however compares to my experience today. My good friend and former college Connor came over today with the plan of writing [...]
So today is the first part of my “Life Upgrade Plan.” Let me just point out at this juncture that this is not going to be a self indulgent post about how well I’m doing with my new positive healthy lifestyle.

Can you ever be too nice? In the words of Duncan Bannatyne; ‘Let me tell you where I am on this.’ No. I don’t think you can. There seems to be an assumption that it is a weakness or a fault if you are nice to people all the time. Somehow, in certain circumstances, you [...]
This isn’t a food blog, but following the overwhelmingly positive response to the “Soyar Cube” I decided that I would do another food related post. When I was younger I used to play “Allergy Bingo” when watching TV Chefs on TV. I would watch the TV Chef cook a meal that looked both tasty and [...]
I often ask myself this question. Macgyver often manages not only to solve life’s problems and make the world a better place, he also manages to get the girl, which I suppose is everything I’m trying to achieve in life! The problem I’ve been tackling this week is on two fronts and it involves getting [...]
So here we are. Almost the start of a new year and the start of another new project. I came across a domain name which until recently had been in the possession of a Christian group in the US, who happen to share a denomination with my surname. When I found that that domain was again free, I bought it, put the kettle on and decided to start a blog.
