Another day, another slow run on the treadmill. Even at the slow pace I’ve sweated so much I could have wrung my top out

Looking at the weather forecast, I don’t think I’ll get out for a lunchtime run today, will have to be another evening on the treadmill instead

Happy Humpday…

Got out in the fog

Started the day with a car crash of a meeting, which has had positive result of obliterating most of my to do list for this week.

One perk of this dry January thing. I went out after work, had fun bouldering session and a quick dinner with a work friend. I’m safely home by 9:30 and I’ve spent less a single bottle of wine would have cost at bar in London
January 13, 2026 at 9:32 PM
Back to trying the bouldering

Office day means I’ve dug out a shirt and boots rather my normal wfh uniform of hoddie and slippers
January 13, 2026 at 11:03 AM
First office of day of 2026 on an earlier train than usual. My brain is not loving this pre-dawn travel

A week into my Dry January and I’ve definitely forgotten how to relax properly without wine. Despite doing all of the exercise, I’ve been so tense every evening and I can feel it in my jaw and teeth. Taking it very much a sign a dry spell is needed

Got the beard trimmed, should look slightly less messy for another couple of weeks
January 12, 2026 at 9:05 PM
MCM from the sauna at the gym

Legs and stretching to start a sleepy Monday.
January 12, 2026 at 9:55 AM
Went to bed at 11, couldn’t sleep so got up again at midnight. Hoping for better sleep luck now I‘ve mostly just sat and read for an hour otherwise tomorrow might be painful

Avoiding the Sunday scaries with a cheese board and last weeks pottery thrown down
January 11, 2026 at 8:08 PM
When in doubt, throw together a messy pie
January 11, 2026 at 5:15 PM
Turns out sticking with this slow and steady on the treadmill means my will to live lasts much longer

Sticking with the winter warming food, I chucked some lamb, onions, aubergine and Moroccan spices, preserved lemons and some dried apricots into the pot for dinner. Resulted in a delicious, if very brown tagine type stew
January 10, 2026 at 8:07 PM
Another evening gym session, I’m definitely going to be fitter by the end of Dry January
January 10, 2026 at 6:04 PM
Failed at having a relaxing morning and instead decided to deep clean the bedroom including moving the bed and the furniture…
January 10, 2026 at 12:34 PM
Successfully had a bit of a lie in, coffee and breakfast. Today’s plans most involve a long stroll in the sunshine, making soup and generally being relaxed
January 10, 2026 at 9:17 AM
Trying out the non-alcoholic cocktails.

Making the most of my meeting free afternoon and an unexpectedly warm house
