A quick bit of navel gazing
Well, I got my answers: “Normal”. I kind of expected that, but it’s still something of a relief.
Maybe I have to accept that I am a little older, I can’t fit more than 24hrs worth of stuff into day. I need to sleep sometimes, I have to let injuries heal at their own pace, not mine, and pause between things, just for a minute.
So like the man told me to, I have taken some time off, and I was even in my bed at 2130 the other night with a book. Magic.
Hell, it’s been a few years since I last took my last kamikaze flight, this time though I missed the target and landed an an allied airfield. I’m learning.
So, tomorrow.
Make yourself a Horlicks and get yer wooly slippers on auld yin. Oh and avoid Holly at all costs, children are germ factories :)
Take it easy…

All will be well, as soon as this weather clears I’m off to Kintail. That’s a nice wee rest that is :o)
Bloody weather ! ditched the oot yesterday as it was not looking great ! now look at it
Phil, it looks nice now, but er… Nah, no words of comfort there, it would have been a nice morning on the tops probably, but last night would have beem rubbish sitting in the cloud and rain in a tent only five foot five long.
Will have to take it out again and make sure I pitched it properly !
Whats the other tents you got ? is it the lightweight ones in black.
Might go oot on the bike today instead and try and scare the demons away ;>
The other one’s are Heliums, they’re the black and orange affairs. I’m taking one for the Kintail trip, black tent on snow… Yes please!
I might go for a bimble in the Kilpatricks today. Then again I may sit in front of the telly.
Keep me posted as I would be up for that if you want a photographer.
I know exactly where the tents are going, this will be a good one :o)
Now, in the words of the Cadbury’s Caramel bunny rabbit… Take it easy.
:o)
ps Bobinson you’re needing a tape measure… an 8ft long tent!!? :o)
I’m still in slippers, lounge-wear and the like. I can’t see this lasting though.
I’m giving it oh, ten minutes and I’m out of here.
Hmm, weather break Tuesday/Wednesday maybe… ?
And like you I have a tendency to push myself too far, trying to fit it all in. But I’m learning that I can’t actually do so. Hence the tumble-weeds rolling across my blog (hmmm… maybe that would make a good Wordpress plugin? – Oh, but by definition, no-one would ever bother actually plugging it in…).
I was up and down in health for a good couple of years afterwards. But what turned it around, and made me healthier than I ever was before, was casting off the conventional wisdom on food and nutrition (not to mention the advice of a nutritionist I paid!) and starting to eat much more “primaly”. I’ve not looked back. Neither has LB or most of my close family since they’ve taken to eating the same way.
For me it has parallels in many areas – the herd often has it wrong, sometimes very wrong. But of course the parallel you might relate to is the whole “lightweight kit is dangerous” nonsense that the many still believe.
There’s a lot of info out there of course, but you could do a lot worse than having a look at the excellent PāNu Get Started page. And for Mark’s Daily Apple is a deep well of information.
I’ve been meaning to post something on this on the blog (and will do so!) but your posting has got me typing…
Convention and advice never seem to take in to account that you’re an individual and all the influences that emotions, desires and aversions exert upon your choices.
Like you say, there is a way through it all, it’s finding it while deflecting all the other stuff coming at you from all sides.
I wonder if it’s a confidence thing? How much of our lives to feel empowered to completely control, and how much do wwe blame of someone or something else?
Here, this is turning into Psychological Sunday right enough!
Aye, get writing.
In fact I will… I will… :)
