Contrasting
May 21st 2019 Today I booked the accommodation for one holiday, and the activities for another. In the first week of June I’m in Ibiza, and then in the first week in July I’m in Bulgaria. We needed to sort … Continue reading Contrasting
Averaging
May 20th 2019 Today my total distance ran for the year has already surpassed my distance for the whole of last year. So far this year I’ve ran 402km, whereas in 2018 I only ran 398km. I’ve not continued the … Continue reading Averaging

Hayfever
May 15th 2019 Today I’ve been (self-)diagnosed with a bout of (truly terrible) man flu. I started to feel rough yesterday and woke up today feeling even worse. Is it possible to “catch” hayfever? Because I think it’s partly that, as well. I’ve never struggled with hayfever so far in my life, but I don’t know if it’s something you can acquire as you get older. Is it? I never used to be allergic to cats, but I developed that allergy as I got older. Actually, I think I’ve been allergic to cats for a long time, it just took … Continue reading Hayfever
