We made the decision to visit family at Myrtleford, last weekend. which is at the base of the Victorian High Country, and surrounded by mountains which are snow covered in winter. It’s a beautiful part of the world, about three hours drive by car from our house, that I never tire of visiting. We had […]
Word Of The Year 2021 #WOTY
As I write this post, on the first day of January, I am trying to put the challenges of 2020 out of my mind, and instead, think about the year ahead. At the moment, I’m finding that quite difficult, sitting here with it’s legacy, a badly broken left arm. One week before Christmas, I tripped […]
Harcourt District Walk in Central Victoria
As I’ve said many times we are in self isolation for the duration of Covid-19, on doctors advice, due to a medical issue. Even with regional Victoria reducing restrictions recently, and starting to open up, we are only venturing out occasionally. Mostly it’s just for a trip to the supermarket. We have been walking each […]

Having a virtual event is much more convenient for me, as I’m two and a half hours away from Melbourne where these events are usually held. The Excellence Series is a […]
Early Morning Workouts
For decades, I have exercised early in the morning. For me it’s the best time of the day to exercise, and I know that when I do it, I feel much better for the entire day. That was until earlier this year, when I lost my way. This was before the pandemic struck, so I […]
My Mantra: Exercise Every Day
Last week was a better week for me. After a few weeks of feeling lazy and lacking direction, I made a concerted effort to re-examine my goals and get myself back on track. As a result I’ve exercised every day, not quite so intensely as previously but it’s a step in the right direction Walking […]
