The weekend that wasnt....

 Hi guys Jess here, 


This week I haven't really been up to anything too exciting, I've been working on sticking to a usual wake up routine as part of my recovery from brutal, and taking care of my plants. Dave needed a lot of TLC this week. 


Most the week has just been the usual week of work, commuting with the chaotic traffic (although I have been really bad at taking the bus instead of walking), a run with my friend and just keeping up on general life. 


I was super excited for this weekend with plans to go to Park run while Chris raced down in London and then a Sunday morning coffee date ride. However my immune system had other ideas. 


As the weather changed along came the coughs, colds, and general sniffles, I don't normally get hit with these till later in the year (occupational hazard) but I think the over hanging fatigue of brutal knocked down my immune system quicker, so this weekend I have been fighting of a cold that's been threatening since about Wednesday (it's not Covid, i tested myself) 



So roll on to Saturday morning and I'm swapping out park run for hot drinks and meds, a day on the sofa wrapped up with crime dramas and soup and generally as much rest as I can take (I don't do well with resting). Till I get an emergency call from work and have to sort out the alarm. 

Sunday is looking much the same, rest, meds, blankets, murder and a couple of short walks for fresh air, and fingers crossed no work issues. As I sit writing this the cold is a manageable level, the meds are helping and so is the rest It going to take a couple of days to fully clear but for the most part I can do a little more, we are still not going for a bike ride but we will take another short walk later today to go and see the set up of the ock street fair, also know as the Michaelmas Fair the longest street fair in Europe, its only two days of a fair and causes a little disruption with the traffic but its kinda fun, and there are donuts! 

You can find out more about it here: https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/abingdon-michaelmas-fair/

So I suppose that's my adventure this week, not much of one i'm afraid, instead i'm just a little bit ill, but I will round it out there, if you want to follow the Ock fair set up I will post some pictures on our Instagram account (check out the links at the side) go give it a follow and check it out! 

Thanks for reading, 

Scribble back

Love from 

Jessie

Birthday bike ride and a declutter

 Hey guys,  Welcome back to the blog, this weeks adventure was a weekend adventure, mostly around the boys birthday!  This week Chris and I celebrated with a birthday bike ride, a short coffee ride before a chill day and the a meal with family. Simple but good fun! We also spent the weekend working on some sorting, for me it has mostly been working through my clothes, keeping what fits and what I wear, and then removing or repurposing what doesn't, it also gave me chance to check what I might want ahead of Christmas, a new coat has gone on the list.  Sunday started with a morning run, then the usual cleaning, and tatting about the house while the slow cooker did its thing and then a few hours of Sims.  Sims is by far my favourite game because you can just do what ever you want with it, I'm currently working my way through a legacy, I think I'm on the 5th generation of the family? Maybe the 6th, either way it's going fairly well which is pretty good! I suppose th...

Adventuring out for some time in the park

Hey guys, Jessie here, todays blog is a look back over our short adventure in the park for a coffee date with my little man!  Living in the flat the first challenge was getting out, not an issue with the use of the sling but with the pushchair it is a whole different ball game. Hubby was on hand but as he is due back at work soon I needed to trial getting me, baby, bag and pushchair all down two flights of stairs. Cue comedic tunes.  With a bit of trial and error for where to place the front wheel that needs to come off to fully fold it down and trialling the best way to carry him and it we made it down in one peice! (And following the coffee date back up in one peice)  We headed out for a walk around the park followed by a stop in the shade to enjoy some time outside, I picked up this handy little travel picnic blanket on amazon for camping and wanted to test it, it's good for what it is and I can't complain for the size and price.  Whilst he rested in the pushchair...

Solo bike ride and Squirrels

 Hey guys,  Welcome back to the adventure blog! A weekly Blog where I share with you my adventures through sports, fitness, life and everything in between! This week I want to share my first solo bike ride, well it's sort of my first solo bike ride.  Okay so background check, its not my first time riding solo on a bike, I use to do it to and from work, and I've been round the park several times on my own, and growing up back home I was always out on the bike, but this was my first solo bike ride that was just a bike ride, not a commute, but a self navigated bike ride, on a road bike, by myself.  I am not as confident a cyclist as i was growing up, but growing up I always stuck to paths or trails and there were a lot less cars, where I live now is busier for cars and I generally try to stay off the path unless its a cycle path, this has meant working my way through building my confidence on a bike.  Chris has taken me out on several bike rides, some long ones som...
