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

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...

Wind down week and keeping plants alive......

 Double post this weekend guys! (only just got round to posting my Halloween one)  This week has been a mostly chilled one with a week of lighter work outs and more rest before I kick start my first hard week of three, I'm going to be following a three weeks on one week off system, so 3 weeks of harder efforts and then an easier week, the easier week will still have runs and rides, just a lower intensity.  This week I have also been working on my plants, I dropped a small fortune on plant care stuff, pots and an orchid but I finally have everything i need to complete my indoor gardener badge, so all i have to do now is keep them alive till January.... If you're wondering what i am on about talking about badges, I am working through the Rebel Badge book  a book that gives you tasks to do to earn badges much like scouts or guides but for adults! Its a fun little book with a great community around it.  So one expensive shopping trip and a huge mess later I have all...

Where did my baby go?

(contains amazon associates link)  Hey guys, it's been a while!  My last post was a little before my return to work, were are now half way through  2025!  So where are we? Well little man isn't so little, at 16 months he is in full blown toddler hood, we walk, run, climb, scream, babble, and have super sass (gets that from me), we get frustrated at not being able to do things but want to be into doing everything! He has been at nursery for about 7 months now and has fully settled in found his confidence and loves every day! We have had our fair share of illnesses, accidents and art work and we are currently preparing for the transition to the next room.  As for me, I've settled into being a Mama and a Teacher, I've reflected on my life and started making adjustments, I have also had my fair share of illnesses (though not as many as the boy) and I'm surviving, not quite thriving, but getting closer to the threshold.  What have we been up to? Lately? trying t...
