Checking in with the plants....


 Hi guys and welcome back to the adventure blog! 


This weeks adventure....plants...... okay I know not much of an adventure, but as the winter months are setting in and the days are darker I'm less inclined to get out. Maybe I ought to change that. 

Any way, this week was a lot of work, some workouts (better than last week) and some coffee with friends ans some Christmas shopping and planning. 

This year I'm trialling more home made gifts rather than purchased tat. That's not to say I am not purchasing any gifts I'm just looking at seeing what I can make for a more personal touch to add a bit more to the fun of Christmas. 

This week I have also been doing some work with my plants, Dave has officially been retired, he just didn't make it. My others seem to be doing okay, but I must get a grow light for them and I picked up a new plant yesterday to take daves spot. Sort of, Bodkin got upgraded to the big pot and his pot became a new home for Calanthe, my new flowers, my plants are basically like hermit crabs. Themisticles off spring (Merlin, René, and Hector) seem to be taking root, I think, and Themisticles still looks fairly okay. Clive is in full bloom, though has a mild case of potential spider mites and Lampon seems to be growing, I mean it's going to get massive so god knows what I'm going to do when it gets to big for that pot!

My plants are kind of developing their own story now....... 

So that's it really, next week December fully starts and so does the Festive challenge, I will also look into more adventures.... 

Anyway, thanks for reading.

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...
