So apparently working 9-5 and then 7-10 each and every day kills all desire or inclination to blog. Boo.

That would probably kill my desire to live, so you’re not doing too badly!

Up at the crack of dawn for a much needed jog & a moan with @_helencarswell_ this morning. Feel slightly less like a zombie now, shame I still look like one 😴

Re-introduction! 🥳 I totally stole this idea from @aislingbrock - as I have acquired a few new followers lately it seemed worthwhile.⁣

I'm a bisexual married mum of two, intersectional sex-positive feminist and one of those gross lefty liberal types. I have 5 cats, 2 rabbits and a tarantula. I'm from Telford, in Shropshire (UK)⁣.

I am a freelance web developer by trade, and specialise in PHP/WordPress development.⁣

I am big into my fitness, specifically powerlifting, running, taekwon-do and pole. This account is mostly a log of all that stuff.⁣

That's the bulk of it. Any questions? Shoot!

I've walked my kids to school every day, whatever

I've walked my kids to school every day, whatever the weather, since my daughter started primary. I value the fresh air and it feels like a marker for the start of my working day. Every half term/holiday I tell myself I'll get up and walk regardless, and every single time I completely fail to do so 😖 However, this morning I woke feeling flat. Missing my friends, my family... missing normality. So I finally did it: I took myself for a pre-work walk. I don't know if it'll fix the flatness, but I definitely feel better for actively doing something about it 😊

I was supposed to be running with a friend early this morning but she had to cancel, so I did what any normal person and went back to b... no, I didn't. I clearly did not. (One may present the obvious argument that I've not historically shown tendancy towards "normal".) I went out and did some loops until 💩 time 😂 now for coffeeeeee.

Making the best of self-imposed isolation by knock

Making the best of self-imposed isolation by knocking up another batch of lemon bars, this time based on a recipe that @emmakuijk sent me. A few issues - my own fault - but not as sickly sweet as the last batch, which I prefer. Will make these again, albeit with a few tweaks I think (of course) 😁

ISOLATION ALERT 😱 My son's school year have bee

ISOLATION ALERT 😱 My son's school year have been in isolation since Tuesday because of a positive covid test in his class. Apparently only he has to isolate, the rest of us are free to continue as normal. This seems utterly baffling to me, so I'm avoiding all non-essential contact with the outside world for the foreseeable. Suddenly blowing £500+ on gym gear in case of a second lockdown doesn't seem as daft as it did...

Triple whammy this morning after a week of doing very little. Run to NGR, deadlifts, with a taekwon-do sesh to finish. Pray for me 🤣

I DID IT! 😱 This is the world's worst squat vid

I DID IT! 😱 This is the world's worst squat video because of the angle but it catches a momentous occasion in my squatting history 🥳 This is my first ever set of 100kg for reps. I have only ever done 100 as singles before. I did THREE OF THESE! To say I'm buzzing is an understatement. 😍 Huge thanks to @adamgriffiths_ for spotting sets 2&3 and the hype queen @els_moorex for moral support ♥️
