By the way, when they say they aren’t going to make them worse, they are lying.

It’s okay though, because we’ve “taken back control”

Is it sad when getting the Tesco delivery is the most exciting event of the week?

Yes. Yes it is. 😔

But who cares, we had no subs today on a £100+ order! 🥳 Even got fresh Edamame beans which I haven’t seen for months.

Going to spice things up this weekend, just bought myself a Nutt Plug. Anyone else ever used one? Reviews look good.

Just quietly normalising the use of Facial Recognition. Because Pandemic. This won’t end well.

[…] Britain to use GPS and facial-recognition technology to check that people are staying in isolation.

Keeping up with the Vendée has been great, but I have to say, watching Team Ineos smash their way through the first weekend of the Prada Cup Round Robins has been pretty special. 🇬🇧⛵️

A historic change, hopefully for the good. The hoards of people riding scooters at rush hour holding up their passports for authorities always seemed a bit silly.

I still find it completely baffling that the best solution we have for our rubbish is to either bury it in hole or put it on a ship and send it to a poor country. About time we literally sorted our shit out.

They couldn’t make them return if they tried. This isn’t extraordinary anymore, it’s normal. Everyone has a taste for it now.

🚣 Can’t wait for this to become a daily routine. 😁 Very happy with it so far, absolutely perfect. Have certainly lost some fitness since October 😳 Hopefully I’ll be back stronger in a few weeks 💪 Overall, 100% worth the wait! Can’t wait to not drive to the gym again 😂

📚 Just finished reading Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck. Beautiful book with a rather sad ending. The short chapter about the children and the beans is absolutely the highlight. Never have I read something that’s made me want to drink wine more than this!! 🍷😂

🚣 Everyone, it has arrived! 🥳 Cant wait to get it out of the box and get rowing later! So. Excited.

Now, must focus on work, busy day. (I feel like a kid and Christmas who’s been told no presents until after dinner!!!) 😂

🦠 Tried drinking a coffee during my run earlier today. Did not go well. 10/10 do not recommend, should be banned.

No-Spend-Jan is going great, except that I don’t get to update YNAB anywhere near as much as I am used to 😭 Still, is what it is….!

🦠 Just to re-affirm my position… I WOULD get the vaccine if it’s offered to me. I am NOT concerned about which one, I am not a doctor. I WOULD get the vaccine at ANY hour should the centre offering them operate 24/7.

…but I realise I’m basically on the bottom of the list!

Right, I’m off for a run before that’s banned too!

UK Covid news: minister confirms restrictions being reviewed amid concerns people mixing too much

Another cheeky weekend walk this morning, 7km wander around Chattenden Lodge Hill Barracks. Lovely walk, despite the sinister signs! 🐶🚶‍♂️

A lovely, fresh 7km walk around Grain sea wall this morning. Far too many people walking about here in Upnor so we got ourselves out of everyone’s way. It was just above 0°C with a cold mist in the air but Dexter was not fussed at all! (Still refuses To wear his coat!)

🦠 So, er, yeah… Things are pretty bad. We’re still rocking out at home. Going to the office on Wednesday and can’t say I’m looking forward to it all that much 😕 Needs must though..

It’s been a long week 😩 But good news is that I managed to get everything I needed to get done, done - nothing hanging over me for the weekend 😁 Time to start delivering things already though, let’s do it!

💥 Boom! 💥

To kick off 2021, I earned this award by closing all three rings for seven days in a row. #AppleWatch #CloseYourRings #2021

🚣‍♂️ Good news! The rower has been dispatched from Concept2 🥳 Should arrive some time next week. I am beyond excited.

Can’t wait to use a Erg that hasn’t been abused in a gym. 😂

Need to think of a name. 🤔💭

Just for the record, the first week of 2021 has be FAR worse than the first week of 2020.

The only exception is that I didn’t have to get on the train to London, which is kinda nice.😊

Still… way worse 👎 But hoping for the best 🤞

Fantastic news! My local brewery, Iron Pier report that they are able to stay open (unlike pubs) for collection in the new Lockdown 3 rules. Shall be making my way there this evening to collect some socially distanced, fresh, local beer. They have a newly bottled saison too! 🍻
