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 my plants and pots in place, now lets just keep them alive!

These are Dave(Larege white pot on table), Themisticles (pink pot), Bodkin (small white pot on table), Lampon (large pot on the floor), Fluffy (the cactus) and Rene (Small white pot on the floor) Yes i named all my plants

And this is Clive (the orchid), Merlin (grey pot) and Hector (pot with the glasses), Clive, Rene and Hector are all offspring of Themisticles who is a Scarlet star, they only bloom once but grow pups which can be transplanted and grow, so fingers crossed they grow big and strong like there parent plant.

As for the rest of the week it was just life really, next week is going to have a bigger adventure as we head off to wales and I hopefully get some feedback, and a bigger week of workouts!

For now I am wrapping it up there to go and get coffee and make some candles!

Thanks for reading,

Scribble back

Love

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...

Merry Christmas and here's to 2024

As 2023 comes to an end and the Festivities have been in full swing, I want to take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year. This year has been filled with mini adventures, the challenges of pregnancy, the journey of navigating a new job role and fitting in general health and well being as well. As for 2024 well that is a whole new adventure! In my older years i have never really been one for new years resolutions but i do like the idea of making commitments and agreements with myself, and each year they are usually just things that i want to continue working on to continue to support and improve myself, so rather than giving up chocolate or hitting the gym every day I usually focus on things like, lets make sure i focus on my sleep routine, take on more adventures and make sure i move a little daily. These are normally my big three, there are may things I want to work on and goals come and go, things change and plans get adjusted, fo...

Lets start a new adventure.

This is only the second time I have had to face him crying as I left him. The first made sense, he was overtired and hadn't napped. This one was a different cry, this was a protest because he knew I was going to walk out the door and not be there. This one hurt me. I do however have the benefit of seeing it from both sides, there is a skill to dropping your child off at nursery the first few times, you have to remain calm, confident, make it quick. If you linger too long, look nervous or get upset they pick up on it. Quick drop offs help everyone, parents don't linger and get upset as long, babies are easier to settle and nursery workers get more time bonding. Seeing the sadness hurts though, the cry is different, it hits heart strings you never knew you owned, and you hold back the tears till you're out of view. I cried all the way into town and then some more whilst I ate fried egg on toast. Deep down I know he's fine, I know he will settle and get distracted a...
