arup’s blog

As I enter the final quarter of the year I’m finding myself to be quite busy. Achieving many of my goals but without much time to lounge around, which of course is one of my goals. On the whole things are going pretty well and I feel on track as it were.

Pilates

So I’ve combined the Pilates and Yoga. So it’s yoga with a Pilates focus.

Meditation

I have now started to plan my meditation sessions during my Plan The Week session on Sunday afternoons I also plan my meditation sessions for the week. It’s been 3 sessions of about 15-20 minutes a week.

My own yoga practice

See above.

Diet – eating well, keeping my target weight

I’ve been starting the day with a piece of fruit before my proper breakfast in a bid to get more nutrients. I always thought that tea and fruit didn’t really go together, but it’s all right.

Bike rides eg London to Brighton etc

I have been on my ride to Orpington and also ridden to Hanwell as well for my massage. I’m thinking about joining Audax in order to be part of set routes and to clock up my mileage and have an official record of my mileage.

Reading

Been reading a book called Fatherhood that my wife bought me. Why? I think you can guess.

Trips to visit friends

I’m doing it.

Selling things on Ebay and having a clear out

Haven’t been selling things on ebay, but have been clearing things out. The mrs has been using Freecycle which although less lucrative saves a lot of time.

Pampering and ‘me’ time

Had my monthly massage and a couple of reiki treatments. Have been trying to spend time lounging but there has been a bit too much on to allow me to relax. Have to stop taking on so much.

Reviews in the blog – films, books, exhibitions etc

A bit more than last month. Haven’t been watching that many films this month or reading.

Wheel building

Still going rather well with plenty of orders coming in. Still very enjoyable and fun, but would feel like work if I had to do any more than I’m doing at the moment. One or two a week is about as much as I’d like to do.

Working on my Svenska

I have found a teacher one with whom I had made contact a few years ago but we had lost touch. So now every Tuesday afternoon I’m working on my Swedish again. Mycket bra.

Music and Songwriting

Not happening at all, but the intention is there. Hopefully I can write at least one song before the year is through.

Business Plan

Had a series of business coaching sessions. I’ll write a full report on this in another post. But the upshot was that I’ve decided not to go ahead with my business idea.

Learning PHP

I’m going to the library with my laptop and tutor book. Great lowcost solution, and effective. I’m doing it.

Typing

Has been a bit neglected this month.
