Enjoy life's journey so don't just focus on goals

I am trying to enjoy the journey and not let the little things ruin my day. However, this morning whilst exercising I look down at my stomach and the muscles did not look right. I may have a hernia. I get to my desk and find that my Nozbe account (A tool for Getting Things Done GTD) has expired, but I have paid and have an invoice to prove it.

So, with my defeatist hat on, I'm waiting for the third thing to happen. But NO. I'm not going to fall into that trap. My wife is making breakfast, I am working from home these next couple of days and it's bank holiday on Monday, which means a nice long weekend. Hurraaaagh!


This is in Luxor, Egypt. It's taken from our balcony in the Hotel St. George Sonesta, where we stayed following our Nile cruise. Worth every penny. I used a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 which I hav to say, is a great camera. Yes I have a digital SLR too, a Nikon, but I wanted to travel light and risked taking this small camera. I was not disappointed. In addition, it takes high definition movies. Fantastic.

I'll include some other photos from Egypt but I'll show off some of the ones taken with my Nikon too.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

A simple workout and I've not stopped sweating an hour later

This morning after arising from my sleep at 6.30am, I'm an early riser, I decided to do a little exercise. This wasn't a full blown workout but gentle stretching, a few lunges and stomach curls. I guess about 20 minutes no more.

After a shower and shave (Yes in that order, I've changed from shave then shower) I got dressed and mage a cup of tea. Now I'm sat here at my computer it's 08:06 and I'm just beginning to cool off. What's that all about? Is it because I'm so unfit? Well, I guess so but I think the key here is not to give up after the first session. I'll try and keep it up and see if I cool down quicker. I'll report feedback on this one in about a month.

I thought that I'd use this blog to show of some of my best photos. This one is from an area in norther France, Pas de Calais. I took the picture on the road from our house (now sold) in Thiembronne to a wine cave just 5 minutes from Lumbres.
