Been away by the coast for a week, so no weight training, but I've loved running up and down the beach. 

Last day of picking up Beeboss from school.  I'm gonna miss the conversations we have on our walks. 

I finished reading what might have been my favourite book of 2025 so far.  Adult Children Of Emotionally Immature Parents has been a great read from start to end, with so many valuable insights and validating passages. It's been such a useful too for me not only in decoding the parenting I received from my own parents, but how I can also be a better parent myself. I highly recommend it 

Painted the downstairs bathroom. I didn't quite reach Miyagi levels of self meditation, but it's now a cool shade of Miami Mint. 

Lunch in the sun with my sister.  Happiness is a satiated hunger. 

Millennial therapy.  Broke and broken, we find the more cost effective ways of understanding ourselves. 

A visit from my sister and her family, with my wife cooking Sunday lunch for us all. Few things nourish the soul quite like relaxing with a full belly and watching the children play in the sun. 

The time is really flying by.  Unpublished as of yet, but I've been writing so much more recently. Feels so good to be creating again. 

Drawing and exploring. Dining out in the sun with my family. A wonderful Friday. 

Every morning I check the news to see if America has imploded yet. For how fast they're sliding into a fascist dictatorship, the revolution is coming on slooooowww. In more local news, I'm terrapin hunting again later today. Got a buddy to assist this time, so fingers crossed!

Made a big ol' chilli and kicked back with my significant other. Pretty sweet gig, if you ask me. 

Turbulent start to the day with Beeboss, so I've forced myself to the gym for some physical mediation.  Deep breaths... UPDATE: I finally finished The Myth Of Sisyphus this afternoon. Some fantastics quotes throughout, that I'll add soon. 

Monday morning gym sessions are my white whale, and yet today I've managed it! Good start to the week!

Relaxing in the sun, rejuvenating for next week.  Sometimes all you achieve is making it through the day. And that's ok. 

Games with friends and snacking in the sun. Bliss. 

Good workout today.  A quiet gym is a gift from god.  UPDATE: I'm writing again. Other than here, I mean.  Insights, self reflection, skits... Little bits here and there. It feels good.  I'll tidy some up and publish it soon. 

Tidying again. Keeping busy. It's not much but it's good to see some of my regular spaces in order.  It's important I keep myself occupied and find things to achieve while I'm free to command my own time. 

You'll mourn for the time lost.  You'll mourn for the version of yourself that could have been.  There's nothing to be gained in the pity.  All you can do is keep going.  Keep moving forward. 

Low mood day today. Losing track of my goals and need to get back on track.  Still, made it to the gym and read Daydream and Drunkenness of a Young Lady by Clarice Lispector. I love the heady, intoxicating tipsiness captured within the first story, fluttering between the silly and the sorrow. 

Lunch with my sister. Buying retro games and little gifts. 

Adventuring with my loves. ❤️

Working out again.  Can't stay still.  Movement is the enemy of depression.  LATER: I really enjoyed Thunderbolts*  Florence Pugh is incredible in everything I've seen her in.  She might just be the MCUs saviour.

Wash out.  Plans cancelled.  Depression leeches my energy.  Need to find a new book...

Took the day off. Chilling in the sun. 

TERRAPIN HUNTING!! UPDATE: Mission Failed. No terrapins sighted.  Still, a pleasant walk all the same.
