16: How far have you walked this year?
I said earlier this year that I would be sharing the data from my FitBit Charge HR quite regularly. Given that I’ve done very little today – except for walk a fair bit, have a Subway salad, visit my father-in-law in hospital and update 5 iPads for work – I don’t have a huge amount […]

15: How was your week?
This week at work has been a long but satisfying one. Plenty of good things have happened with the classes I teach – lots of lovely, wonderful moments. Nothing particularly that stands out but I’ve really enjoyed it. Tonight I had a little walk to reach my 10,000 steps for the fourth day in a […]

I have always been for more comfortable being a geek than a nerd. I don’t know why. I have often referred to myself at work as the resident geek – fixing technology and having people come up to me on a daily basis to “just come and have a look at this” has become an […]

11: What is it like to lose a hero?
David Bowie, if I’m honest, isn’t a musician that I’ve explored a great deal. I’m a firm believer that your early musical tastes are shaped by your parents. My mum wasn’t a particular fan of anything when I was growing up, preferring to watch tv in the house or have a silent car, if memory […]

10: What is the first rehearsal back after Christmas like?
In my experience, the answer to this question is one of two extremes. It can either be absolutely painful beyond measure, or absolutely delightful. Think about it, players generally haven’t touched their instruments over the break – this could be two or three weeks. Believe it or not, banding is a hobby. We aren’t paid […]

9: What do you do when the grass is as big as you are?!
You eat it, that’s what… I’ve done very little other than work today. So I took some photos of Kit with her grass. A dull day.

8: What is the best accident you have had?
While surfing – do people still do that these days? – around the net last night, I couldn’t help but come across the post that many people shared. Spectacular images of a snowy owl in flight have been captured by Transport Quebec’s traffic camera along Montreal’s Highway 40. The images were captured on Jan. 3 by a traffic camera at […]
