A Day of Firsts…. #janathon #project365

Janathon Day 1

I have been a regular participant of Janathon, or indeed its older brother, Juneathon, for the last few years. In that time I have always found the last few days of the month the hardest. Not this time. After a night of excess all I could manage this morning was: get up, have a cup of tea and go back to bed.

 

Therefore, it wasn't until after 5pm when I felt anything like going for a run. So tonight's rather pathetic attempt of getting on the Janathon train was a couple of very tired and still slightly hungover muddy miles in the dark.

Today's run = 3.28km

Suffice to say that after a rather lacklustre start to 2015, today's photo is relaxing in front of the TV to watch a film.

Cushty.

 

I’m in! #janathon

It's that time of year again. The over-indulgence of Christmas is seemingly far behind us, hiding in the cupboard under the stairs, whilst the spectre of the New Year Celebrations are creeping up on us faster than a crowd of chavs heading for the one discounted 40″ TV at Asda on Black Friday.

So what is one to do? Well, signing-up for Janathon is a good way to start. If you have been living in a cupboard for the last few years you may want to head over to the website and have a look. But, in a nutshell:

So there you have it, first plan is to partake in a spot Janathoning. Also, I quite fancy the idea of 2015 being another attempt at project365. I did it in 2011 and it is a great way to track the year: posting a photo every day.

 

 

 

 

 

Project365 #362 – Didn’t go to plan….

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ Leave a comment

Today’s Project365 picture was taken shortly before leaving the house in search for a space station sighting.

Today at 6.29pm, in SW direction 42deg above the horizon, was an opportunity to see the international space station move across the sky for about one minute.

The sighting didn’t go too well. Firstly had trouble working out what way was SW. Secondly, it should appear as a “steady pinpoint of light moving across the sky”. Looking in roughly the right direction in the sky you can see a lot of stars, and if you stare at them long enough, they all look like they’re moving!

Only 3 more pictures to post this year!
