Resolution wallpapers

January 8th, 2012

To Resolve Project has come up a great way to be reminded of your new year’s resolution each time you jump on the computer.

A series of beautifully designed resolution wallpapers!

Here are a small selection – head to their website to see them all.

You can even create your own.

Found via Swiss Miss (a design blog I highly recommend for creative inspiration)

With Christmas Day just 3 sleeps away (!), I thought now would be a good a time as any to wish you a great Christmas break, and I hope that 2011 has been a productive, fun-filled year.

My highlight is pretty easy – getting married in May to the woman of my dreams. What was yours?

A simple to-do list

December 14th, 2011

Saw this today on Happyplace and laughed. Good if you just want a to-do list you know you will complete.

My new uniform

September 16th, 2011

Not sure why I didn’t think of doing this earlier, but from now on every time I attempt a new goal I will be wearing this t-shirt.

Just makes things a bit more fun, and official.

The design was inspired by one of my favourite fictional characters. Can you guess who? Here’s the answer.

Congrats to the three muppets

The Three Muppets

Just thought I would give a quick shout out to these three crazy guys (known as the Three Muppets) to congratulate them on their massive bike-riding achievement of riding from Land’s End to John O’Groats (basically, from the bottom to the top of the UK).

It took them 15 days to ride the nearly 900 mile journey.

One of the riders, Dave, is a mate from work, and along with the other two riders they did the ride partly to raise money for CRY (Cardiac Risk for the Young). If you feel like earning some good karma today, why not give them a few quid to say well done.

You can read all about their adventure on their website - great for anyone looking for a bit of motivation to do something big.

The Evening Standard ran an article yesterday about 30 things to do before you turn 30, which you can read here.

Some of the goals were a bit questionable, as was the reason for the article (Beyonce Knowles getting pregnant), but the sentiment of setting and achieving goals is always a good one.

And the fact that they took my plan of doing them before turning 30 was just cool.

A cracking weekend

August 5th, 2011

But not in a good way…

That’s what happens when you try jumping off a fence after consuming too much daddy juice I guess.

6 weeks in a sling and I will be back on deck again. Although I have my bungee jump booked for the end of August, so I am looking for a quick recovery.

Treading the boards

Shakespeare

I can officially now say that I have performed in Shakespeare’s Hamlet on the London theatre stage.

Yes, you read right. Although not quite as you might expect.

I was in the audience (mistakenly in the front row) watching a comedy performance of all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, abridged into 2 hours, when I was pulled up onto stage to play Hamlet’s ego.

This involved running back and forth around the stage, pretending to be scared, while the audience as a whole acted out the role’s of Hamlet’s Id and Superego (don’t ask me what these mean – I have no idea!). This might help.

One of the goals on my list (#117) is to perform in a local theatre production. My question to you is – does this performance count? The first person to comment with their opinion will decide it for me.

Getting married

May 14th, 2011

The countdown is on – I get married in exactly 11 days (gulp!).

This is my excuse for being quieter than usual lately, and will continue to be quiet for a little longer.

Wish us luck – I will share some of the day’s experiences when things calm down again.

p.s. Weirdly, this wasn’t one of my goals!
