The eyes have it

September 14, 2017 By Jax Blunt 3 Comments

Sorry. I’ve had one of those days when there were too many words and ideas to be able to get focus on any of them. Which leaves me feeling kind of worn out and pathetic. So instead of chasing myself in circles, I’m going to go to bed and hope I wake up less cluttered […]

My top 5 movies

September 13, 2017 By Jax Blunt 10 Comments

Post comtains affiliate links As part of the Blogtember challenge, today Katie, Hannah and I are talking movies. The suggestion was top 5 Disney titles, but I honestly couldn’t think of 5 films that I knew were Disney and I loved, so I’ve just gone for a generic top 5. Until the middle of last […]

Slow Sunday

September 10, 2017 By Jax Blunt 4 Comments

I woke up this morning stiff and full of pain. I should have done week 6 day 3 of couch to 5 k – there was no way that was happening. Instead it took me nearly two hours to stagger about hanging out two loads of washing with frequent rests, and by the time I’d […]

{Practising} habits. Water, exercise, creativity. If I manage to cement these in for another week I’ll add something else – maybe that I clear the kitchen before internet?

C25K take three?

September 8, 2017 By Jax Blunt 10 Comments

I’m not sure how many times I’ve started and restarted running now.

But I’ve suffered a bunch of odd injuries and found it really hard to get going again. So […]
