1984

I’ve rolled ideas for this post around my head for a couple of days and still not settled on anything. The plan is to write about being trapped in a room with my biggest fear and describe what that is. I don’t think I have a single big fear, just lots of little fears. For instance, I […]

Teacher’s pet

I am supposed to write about a teacher who has influenced me greatly and made me who I am today. That is difficult for a couple of reasons. Firstly, as a teacher, I look back and see how much the profession has altered since I was at school, and secondly, a lot of the teachers […]

Helplessness

I don’t really know the last time I have felt helpless. I generally tend towards positive thoughts whenever I can and see the good times in most situations. I am often grumpy, true enough, but I will always help anyone I can.

My favourite

The most time I’ve ever spent away from my favourite person was all the time before I met Mrs Pitts. It’s a cliche to say I married my best friend, but it is absolutely true. There is a lot we have in common and she introduced me to my drumming hobby, while feeding my various […]

Call Me Ishmael

The plan here was to take the first sentence of a favourite book and make it the first sentence of a post. But I don’t really have a favourite book. So… earlier today I thought that a good children’s book could be made out of a dolphin, a seahorse and a clumsy stingray. I have […]

Quote Me

The one quote that I have become to live my life by is one from a former head teacher of mine, who was very fond of saying, “Make it happen.” You had an idea that he liked, you had to make it happen. It is such a positive statement and one which places responsibility and […]

Kick It

I’ve never made a bucket list, nor thought about making one either. The idea today was to write about the reasons for choosing the things on there. But I can’t since I don’t have one. I have always wanted to go to the Belgian Grand Prix as that has the best corner in the world, […]

Resolved

I haven’t made a resolution for something I want to alter in 2017. At least, not officially. I pretty much made a last minute decision to write on here every day in 2016 and managed it. I kept that quiet from most people because I didn’t want the attention. A long time ago, some time when […]

Stroke Of Midnight

When 2016 became 2017, after an extra leap second was factored in, I was sat on the sofa next to Mrs Pitts watching the spectacular, if rather long, London firework display on the TV. We had sat through the Robbie Williams performance beforehand – neither of us are fans really – and to be honest […]

How far did you walk last year?

My FitBit tells me I have walked 170.59km in December – a total of 235,481 steps. This takes 2016’s total step count to 2,737,760. My overall distance walked for the year is 2,233.24km and here’s how far I could have walked, if it was in a straight line… Here’s how the year looks overall:
