Is it just me?

Am I alone?

The only one that thinks that the way the BBC writes it's articles is awful to read?

They have taken to writing one sentence per paragraph.

Perhaps to break up the text.

But it makes it more difficult to read.

And mentally, the associated parts of the text that should be in one paragraph, are disconnected.

Making your brain work harder to rejoin what's related.

I do hope they stop doing it.

It's distracting and frankly l, looks awful too.

My opinion.

I really do think you should take the time to read this book.

Talking to Strangers

I get to the heart of why seemingly innocuous encounters can turn into tragic events. It additionally makes you think about yourself and the encounters you have with those strayers around you.

A wonderful short film worth watching on a big screen.

U SHOOT VIDEOS?

A Film by Morgan Cooper

I can’t quite put my finger on when exactly I decided to do it, but after more than a month I feel a lot better. Better physically, but better physiologically.

I’ve been manipulating my life to fit in a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise a day, logging it using my (don’t laugh) 2nd Gen Apple Watch. I’ve had the watch for a few years now and I still wear it every day. I have a quick vacation at a hotel that was sports oriented — not in the Sports Bar way — and I’ve continued the regime up daily since.

I’m about to get my bag together, so I can run/walk tonight for 45 mins or so. It sounds cliché and it is in away, but the motivation tools in the Apple Watch do help. I’m not an overly competitive person and motivating me is a lesson patience, but once I get going I tend not to stop easily.

Real-world results are being noticed. I walk faster and longer for the same time, I ride my bike harder and for longer, my HRV is increasing and I just feel, like I said — better.

New Series 5 Apple Watch for me as soon as I can get one (it’s not easy where I live).

Sunday mornings is my time. I wake up early, usually around 5am, so that I can have a coffee and prepare my things for a morning ride. I’m a (Sunday) cyclist and have been cycling for many years. It’s a ritual that is not only good for physical health —I have a resting heart rate of someone may years younger— but it is very good for the mind too.

Some Sundays I’m rewarded with the most beautiful scenery. This morning was no exception. Taken at the foot of the volcano, you can’t help but enjoy the site and simultaneously awe at the potential power.
