It's been a hard week / weekend for ma. I'm looking forward to her feeling okay again.

Properly configured the parental treadmill. Pay no heed to my crappy (mid-run) stats - I'm just getting started.

Long, long ago I tried to go through a goth phase. Here's me dressed in a ridiculous vest before going out to the Mission, Edinburgh's premier (and maybe only) goth and rock club.

I've restarted the gym every morning as a routine. Yes, I know I should center around weights, but this is what I felt like today - and the cardio strength is important.

I haven't been feeling great today. So I took a walk and treated myself to vegan toasted cashew ice cream, which, trust me, is the best thing.

I've been staying with a family friend after her surgery this week. This was sitting, pristine, in her office.
