Juneathon Day 11: the one with yet more rain, soggy socks and a lot of emails

I hope that everyone is having a great week. I’m writing this update on Tuesday evening. I’ve just got back from work and am finally starting to feel warm after feeling cold all day. I must invest in a waterproof jacket; fleeces aren’t very effective when it’s raining. My Tuesday didn’t get off to the best of starts as I got soaked walking to the…

Juneathon Day 10: the one with a new job and commute

I hope that everyone had a good Monday. It’s now Monday evening and after a day of firsts I’m feeling quite tired. As always, apologies for any random typos, I’ve read through enough emails and reports today. So, what did I get up to during Day 10 of Juneathon? I’m not sure if it was the stress of having to get up early, fear of…

Juneathon Day 9: the one with an early morning run and trip down memory lane

I’m writing this on Sunday evening wondering what happened to the weekend. Not having to travel down to Wallingford on a Sunday feels a little strange; I’m sure I’ll get quickly used to having an extra five hours each Sunday. When my alarm woke me at 05:30 I wondered what on earth was happening. I didn’t want to drag myself out of bed. Whatever happened…

Juneathon Day 8: the one with torrential rain, a spot of cricket and trip to Lichfield

The rain was so heavy during the morning; I decided not to drive down to Wallingford to collect the rest of my clutter belongings. I have everything I need for the week ahead and just hope that my missing expenses envelope is in Wallingford, I have a horrible feeling I may have shredded it on Friday evening. I received an email from DNAfit offering 35% off…

Juneathon Day 7: the one with the rain and the final farewell

I’ve been reunited with my computer and have had an emotional day so this Juneathon post may well be slightly waffly. I’m also feeling quite tired so sorry for any typos. So, what were the highlights of Day 7 of Juneathon and my final day working in Wallingford? Rather predictably, I felt a little fragile when I woke up. Mixing two pints of beer and…

Juneathon Day 5: the one I manage to lock myself out of my laptop

I’m a complete muppet. I’ve somehow managed to lock myself out of my laptop. This doesn’t bode well for Monday when I start a new job and will have to get to grips with a work laptop. I can’t reset my password until I get back to Four Oaks, so I’m trying to blog on my iPhone. It isn’t easy. In other news… I actually…

Greens Best Berries Best Antioxidant review

Apologies for publishing two blog posts in one day, but I think this product review deserves its own post. Since the realisation that six months’ of eating too much processed food and drinking too much beer had taken its toll on my health, I’ve been doing my best to improve my diet. When I was approached to see if I would like a review a…

Juneathon Day 4: the one with the rain, tears and Thai meal

Once again, there may well be a few typos as I’ve had a couple of beers. I’m not sure if my Wallingford colleagues are trying to finish me off, but my schedule for the rest of the week looks a little full on. I can’t believe that this time next week it will all be over. I had a productive day in the office catching…

Juneathon Day 3: the one with the entertaining train journey and trip to the Old Post Office

I’ve made it back to Wallingford. This post may well contain a few typos as I also made it to the Old Post Office pub in Wallingford. I have a feeling that this week may well turn into quite a boozy and foody week. I tried and quite possibly failed to make the most of my unexpected day of annual leave. I spent a bit…

Juneathon Day 2: the one with the missed morning run, blogmin and train related issues

In an ideal world, I would have been writing this blog in my room in Wallingford. Unfortunately, thanks to some train related issues, I’m still at home in Four Oaks. I’m not going to miss spending four hours on a Sunday travelling from Four Oaks to Wallingford.  Spending an extra night at home and being able to watch the season finale of Chicago Fire is a…
