Garage. Workout.

Kerry did a lunchtime home workout.

‘Waves’ by Sharon Dogar

Teenage fiction. I didn’t really like this book. It’s a sort of thriller about a teenager who had a surfing accident and ended up in a coma. However, she can sort of communicate with her younger sibling. Cue lots of repetitive ‘I thought I could hear her…I felt her…something seemed wrong…blah blah blah…’.

Not the best start to the reading year!

It was a cold morning so I headed to the garage for a treadmill run.

The plan was a 30min run, so I thought I’d include an incline as well. Initially set it for 10% but it soon became obvious that that was probably a little too steep, so it soon became 7%.

All good.

Kerry did yoga.

Today’s picture was taken on this morning’s very cold dog walk. Frosty and an icy wind.

First in the yearly challenge is the cinema.

Cinema City to see Hamnet.

Everyone was raving about the book when it came out in 2020. Unfortunately, I missed the boat and never got round to reading it. Therefore, I was heading to Cinema City with no idea, except knowing Hamnet was the son of Shakespeare, of what to expect.

It was a bit slow places, speculative, but moving and definitely a couple of BAFTAs on the way.

We’ve always tried to do a monthly challenge every year:

2023 – Gigs

2024 – Cinema

2025 – Theatre

This year we’ve gone for something more fluid. More things. Less rules.

Let me introduce to you…

‘26 in 26’

The plan is to attend 26 of the following through the course of 2026:

• Gig
• Cinema
• Theatre
• Comedy
• Poetry

So that is at least two a month, plus an extra two.
