126: What happened in the 2016 Russian Grand Prix?
Nico Rosberg won his seventh consecutive race and Sebastian Vettel crashed – or rather was crashed into. In Russia, another power unit problem hampered Lewis Hamilton’s hopes and Kimi Raikkonen was too busy fighting a Williams to pose a significant threat which had looked likely earlier on in the weekend. Nico Rosberg now has 100 out […]

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 20 – Which song do you listen to when you’re angry?
Music, for me, doesn’t always signify emotion. I tend not to attach things to music – mainly because I fill life with sound (when I can) and so music tends to never mean the same thing twice. The next few days are all very similarly themed (anger/happiness/sadness) and are currently blank in my plan. So, […]

125: Where has today gone?
I know I’ve used this title before, but I am writing this at 23:14 and I have no clue where the time has gone today at all. I haven’t stopped. I still have loads to do. Tomorrow I will write about the Russian Grand Prix. Or at the weekend. Maybe.

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 19 – Which song would you choose from your favourite album?
I love many albums for different reasons. The Divine Comedy’s A Short Album About Love is brilliant throughout, each track a delight. Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells is great (well, the old side one is anyway – not so keen on part 2). Most of the early Queen albums are good. There are a few Semisonic […]

124: What is it like to play for Tingley Brass Band?
Tonight I went to a rehearsal with Tingley Brass Band. I am covering percussion for them this weekend at a concert, so I needed a little practice beforehand. All in all, it went fairly well. I got around 90% of it sorted and organised in my head. I also had a good time, and a […]

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 18 – Which song do you wish you heard on the radio?
Again, like a many other songs on this list so far, I don’t really know when this one entered my life. No one in my family knew this song before me, I don’t recall being introduced to it by anyone – it just seemed to appear. This isn’t one of ABBA’s very well known songs, […]

123: How far have you walked this year?
My FitBit tells me I have walked 152.81km in April – a total of 210,878 steps. This takes 2016’s step count to 1,035,943. My overall distance walked is now 760.54km and here’s how far I could have walked, if it was in a straight line…

30 Day Song Challenge: Day 17 – Which song do you hear often on the radio?
I am a Radio 5 Live kinda guy, and as such don’t listen to a huge amount of music radio – I much prefer being able to control what my ears are exposed to. However, Mrs Pitts doesn’t like 5 Live at all and so, to keep the peace, I often find myself listening to Radio […]

122: Are you well enough?
Another day in recent time where I’m not very well. I’ve spent a lot of this afternoon being sick. I wanted to write about how far I’ve walked this year as is traditional at the start of the month. I wanted to write about the Russian Grand Prix but I’m not on a laptop to […]
