Not my average bank holiday

Posted on August 29, 2017 by thepogblog

This weekend was lovely and sunny. I don’t think I’ve ever said that after a UK bank holiday before; I’m not sure anyone has… Himself and I made the most of it. We went to the pub for good food … Continue reading →

What is your heart’s desire?

Posted on August 23, 2017 by thepogblog

Because I have to run in whole kilometers (because I am a bit odd like that), on my seafront runs I have particular places I turn depending on how far I am going. There is one turning point where I … Continue reading →

Stupid, soggy, but smiley

Posted on August 17, 2017 by thepogblog

One thing I like about running is that in lycra, everyone is on an equal playing field. You can’t tell who has money, who has a high powered job, you can’t even tell who is actually good at running as … Continue reading →

Exercise-ness

Posted on July 27, 2017 by thepogblog

In Bumpkinsville I had my lovely yoga class, my very happy fitball class, and a fantastic group that I ran with each week. In Beachville, things have been a bit more tricky. I joined a yoga class, but the focus … Continue reading →

The recognised link between cake and running

Posted on July 18, 2017 by thepogblog

Himeslf is a runner. I am a lolloper. Before I moved to Beachville we talked about – once he was all London marathoned out – getting me to a level where I could attempt a half marathon. Weeellllll…talking and doing … Continue reading →

Idyllic Ibiza. Mostly without, you know: people.

Posted on July 10, 2017 by thepogblog

A quiet holiday with no Pog moments is what I desperately wanted this year after the mishaps of the last few. Especially as I quite liked the idea of Himself thinking I am a grown up, just occasionally, and this … Continue reading →

Stupidness examples

Posted on June 23, 2017 by thepogblog

In our family we have always been taught to look after all animals. We rescue bugs rather than squish them (wasps and midges being the exceptions as they don’t have a good side), Sister 2 seems to have has more … Continue reading →

A different view on running

Posted on May 19, 2017 by thepogblog

Going for a run in Bumpkinsville was mainly about the greeness and the wildlife. I’ve been mostly running around a lovely park since I got here, but thought I should explore a bit more. Today’s run couldn’t have been further from … Continue reading →

Week 1 in Beachville

Posted on May 10, 2017 by thepogblog

It’s been a week. The good news is that Norman, Himself and I seem to be managing pretty well with our change in living arrangements. There isn’t really any bad news, now that Norman has stopped crying. Despite the drugs … Continue reading →

Goodbye, Bumpkinsville.

Posted on May 2, 2017 by thepogblog

Today is final packing day. Tomorrow morning I leave the Bumpkinsville area for the next volume in my life (‘chapter’ didn’t seem long enough. I’m hoping for more than just one chapter). I’m going to miss quite a bit. Obviously … Continue reading →
