Summers on the North Sea. 2

May

2012

It’s only 13C right now, which means I should be outside enjoying (it is my favourite kind of weather, hence my preferring going to northern islands in summer over heading south in winter) instead of sitting in front of a screen. Go read/learn some facts about Iceland instead.

Modern traditions.

May

2012

I talk about food and eating a lot, but I hope I emphasize that people need to eat and eat things that are nourishing, that make their bodies work and feel good, and not to eat mindlessly. I do not always do this. I seem to falling into the ‘I’m bored, I’m gonna get a ...

Work. (7.92km, 27:17)

May

2012

Was too lazy/stupid to write this morning. Slept amazingly until a violent thunderstorm hit ca. 5am. Managed to nod off again, but my brain hasn’t recovered fully. This is a case for a DCP (digital cinema package) next to two heavy film cans (containing one two-hour-ish movie). This cinema will have been running films for ...

Size matters. 1

May

2012

I’ve mentioned before that my doctor is pretty great; she’s never mentioned my size, other than saying ‘some people find it more difficult’ (in response to my talking about how I had trouble losing weight) and ‘keep doing what you’re doing’ (in reponse to my taking up running). I’m very grateful for this.

Blogging. 1

May

2012

Oops, in the heat of the moment (or whatever), I didn’t blog today. At least not properly. But I did run 21.1km today, in not-great-for-me time, but eh, then ate delicious things with Ali, Chris, Jackie, Chris, Jen, and David. It was delicious. Richard and Laura came to say ‘hallo’ post-race, which was nice of ...

Rebranded neighbourhood. (3m, :05)

May

2012

This used to be a gardening blog. Here are some brief updates.

Hampton Park. (6.46km, 44:01) 1

May

2012

Just finished my last pre-race run in the park where my elementary school had its cross-country training sessions. Paradoxically, this hill seemed both much bigger and much easier to nine-year-old legs.

Sparks 1. (5.83km, 23:23 with lights)

May

2012

Caffeinating on Sparks Street today. I have to be at work very soon, so no time for lessons in political scandal or commentary on unusual laws.

Bate Island. (3.21km, 9:21)

May

2012

For the next few days/weeks, I’m taking my blog on the road to look at local landmarks and history. Today, I’ve taken my bike (and coffee) to Bate Island, at the border (in the middle of the Ottawa River) of Ontario and Quebec. I’m not here for grander history reasons, though, but for more nostalgic ...

Pluralising the word ‘hiatus’. 1

May

2012

I read this yesterday, but from the headline alone, I probably could have answered ‘yes’. It’s also, in part, made me decide to take a break from the social media juggernaut as well and to post less frequently to Twitter. Why? Like most of the folks Mr Marche talks about in the article, I spend ...
