Photos to go with my previous post – apologies!
First run!
Well, I call it a run – I intended for it to be a walk, but felt so good when I was out there that I jogged a fair way too. Which for someone who hasn’t done very much in the way of structured exercise since I stopped riding a couple of years ago, is not bad going!
It’s not exactly a 5k, but I said I was going to make small changes, and actually pushing myself out of the house on a frosty winter evening instead of curling up in bed with a magazine as I had planned is something I’m very proud of! (and I have no intention of running a 5k ever!)
Stats? Haven’t a clue – went from my house, down to Asda, across the roundabouts, over the railway bridge and back up the other side. I’ll try and work it out but I reckon maybe just over a mile?
Here’s the route I took, using the brilliant (and newly found) walkjogrun.net to plot it:
First one!
Walk/jog
I definitely need some more sensible clothes though – my jogging bottoms are too short and my trainers are not built for running – I’ll have to dig out my old ones and/or buy new ones in the States maybe!
Lots of lovely Moleskines
Sadly not mine… But i spent much of yesterday packing 100 of these custom-embossed lovelies into envelopes ready for a promotional mailout…
They came in such lovely packages too… I adore brown paper and stamps!
And here is the top of the envelope pile… You can just see the Moleskines peeping out!
Moleskine Press (moleskinepress.co.uk), who I found entirely by accident, have been fab – accommodating to our needs and deadline, and last minute changes.. and the quality is lovely. Their story is on their website… They rescued some old printing presses and are using them for customising Moleskines… I think it’s wonderful, bringing them back to life.
First day with the tablet
I had hyped this up to so many people for so long that buying it wad a bit like having a first date, only much more expensive if it went wrong!
Much to my relief, I think it’s going to revolutionise my life just as much as i hoped it would. Squee!
Full review when i’ve had it a bit longer… Only picked it up yesterday!
Testing…
Quick post from the tablet to see if it works…
I'm Carla, a quirky thirtysomething with a penchant for unicorns and glitter. I believe in magic and make-believe, and the gorgeous rebellion of making your life absolutely your own. And I'm a proud multipod!
I am a photographer and catalyst for small business owners, and a real life mermaid. I photograph people as they truly are, help women see and step into their brightest and best selves, add a sprinkling of magic to the mundane, and am a happy ambassador for stationery and slow living.
Proud to be both girly and geeky, when I’m not writing, photographing or daydreaming, you can find me dancing burlesque, riding my bicycle Bluebell, growing herbs and collecting typewriters.
