I've set myself a little quest that will hopefully involve not too much suffering, minimal blisters, and make everyday a bit more meaningful

I've had a cold and words have failed me. Here's some cute photos of my dog instead. Her name is Amber. She is a galgo (Spanish greyhound).

A key on my laptop is stuck so I've written this piece without it. It's a poetic puzzle. Can you spot the missing letter?

I've started cycling 11km to work and back. My weak as heck climbing legs cannot cope. Here, I re-work Eye of the Tiger to express my pain!

I'm taking a brief blogging break. I'll be back in three weeks time with a new 'climbs' post.

It's my birthday (almost!) and, although I'm not turning 40 this year, I've been thinking about how my life might be in just under a decade

I discuss my own experiences of achieving and failing to achieve my ambitions and how this has shaped my current perspective of ambition.

I'm having online banking issues this week so I've turned to other people's witty words to cheer me up!
