In 2010 I set myself a 365 day task to produce a portrait of my world every day and to run each day of the year. I did it.
In 2014 I completed four months of another resolution.
In 2022, we have become nomads and I have resurrected the blog. There are still 2 resolutions: Live life fully in many different countries and eventually find a forever home.
This is a once-weekly blog of something interesting in my life.

Day 9
2.91km - sunshine and cold 20F (-7C) Running past the place where I fell a couple of days ago, I noticed a sharp branch poking out just after my face-print in the snow. I must have landed a couple of millimeters from it, and it made me wonder how many times we elude death throughout the course of our lives. Tim was using the snow-blower in the street just outside our driveway entrance the other day and we were all shovelling further up the hill, when I saw a snow-plough coming past and noticed with horror how it almost ALMOST got him, nearly took him out, he had not noticed it coming and I don't think it saw him until the last minute. It is not only cats who have 9 lives!
Molly bounds with such limitless energy, I wished today for 4 legs instead of my 2, she bounces along with a constant spring, while I plod on relentlessly, with difficulty, with struggle, with not much grace at all. Perhaps it would be nice to be a dog, but I always thought how much I would miss reading.
This evening was my ECBA (Essex County Beekeepers' Association) meeting, where I am the recording secretary, which means that I have to take minutes and produce the monthly newsletter, called Beeline. So I have done a self-portrait as a bee. A queen bee.
