flickr friday – the health and fitness edition

Posted in: Inspiration, Life, Photography|29 June, 20125 Comments

Hello, and happy Friday! This post is comin’ attcha from the glamorous location of my sick bed (it’s very much like my regular bed only strewn with snotty tissues and other icky paraphernalia). I won’t go into details, you’ve heard it all before – it’s all very mucous-based and that’s never good. I will say this though – I am sick of being sick (this is literally the millionth time this year). It may be the Lemsip talking but I am determined to live a healthier lifestyle from here on in!

Cutting down on calories is one thing (and I’m pretty expert at that having been on a semi-permanent diet* since I was 12), eating healthy, wholesome and life-enhancing food though, that’s another thing altogether. And then there’s the exercise – a million nightmarish PE lessons flash before my eyes every time I hear that word.

I know it wont be easy – if I’m truthful I only gave up the cigs in the late 90s because smoking in the workplace became illegal and the thought of having to walk out to a smoking hut made me feel wheezy. The nearest I get to yoga (or any type of exercise) is when I have to wrestle myself into a pair of one-size tights. This should be ‘interesting’! Is it something you’re interested in hearing about or should I stick to the pretty pictures? A separate blog, maybe?

Any hoo, yes, here’s what’s been inspiring me on flickr – just looking at these is making me feel a bit better!

*for semi-permanent dieter you might also read part-time ‘all you can eat’ competitive eater – a British Adam Richman, if you will.

Time I enjoy wasting is not wasted time

Posted in: Digital, Life, Photography|25 June, 20125 Comments

This was the first weekend in flippin’ ages where I had no commitments, no errands, no chores… well, OK, there were chores but I have a little trick I’ve perfected when it comes to those – I completely ignore them!

All this freedom was very fortunate – it meant as soon as the sun felt bothered enough to peep out like a coy geisha, I was able to jump in the car and find some nearby countryside to bask in its glory!

This is going to sound very hippy-ish (and no, I don’t normally hold with such hokem), but I do think it does the human body good to be submerged into masses and masses of green-ness. As soon as you exit the city it’s so apparent that everything, everywhere is so verdently lush and green and relaxing and breathing seems so much easier. Green, green, green. And red, of course.

Oh, I love poppies!

Flickr Friday – summer solstice edition

Posted in: Inspiration, Photography|22 June, 20122 Comments

I’ve double-checked the calendar just to be sure and yes, it is indeed true; it’s summer! We had the summer solstice a few days ago and midsummer’s day is next week. For those of you outside the UK you’re probably well aware of this fact; you wont for example have an umbrella battered beyond belief through overwork or be having to pop the central heating on IN JUNE.

But here we are – slap-bang in the middle of the calendar and I am feeling the need for some ritualistic shenanigans and/or wine – or failing that, som flickr inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend you lovely people!
