consistent inconsistency

Like my previous post on books, I'd love to have a better grasp of the music I enjoy, as I often find myself listening to the same things and forgetting good artists and albums that I could be listening too. So be ready for some crappy album reviews too.

Back at it again! This month was slow. A couple of reasons:
I said to Beth when we started that I'd be happy with 25 minutes, and I got that, so I guess I'm not too upset. We've done quite a lot of exercise over the past few weeks so I think I am fitter, it's just hard for that to manifest at the moment.

(this post is from a few months ago, late January/February, but thought I'd post it anyway)
Whilst we've been working from home the last few months, we are slowly become more and more irritated by how messy the flat is. It's not massively messy, and we don't have a huge amount of things, but there is always something out of place, our bookshelf is overflowing a bit, and the Lego my brother and I buy each other for Christmas is finally stacking up a bit too high.
So we decided to declutter. I had two realisations fairly early on: I have too much stuff, and it's actually surprisingly easy to get rid of things once you get started. I usually really hate tidying, and will usually put off jobs that don't need doing for a long time. So while it definitely was a lot of effort to get the ball rolling and start the tidying process, once it was in full swing it was very easy to see the results. We've spend so much time in our flat now that having less clutter is so much less stressful. Those positive feelings kept the cleaning going. We have so many clothes to give away now!

Rowan and Tom bought a climbing mat between them a while back, and have been doing some "proper" outdoor bouldering.
Beth and I went along this time. It was a glorious sunny day, and we did some climbing and chilled out in the countryside and then had a chat in a pub.
Just all round a pretty fab day. It's nice to be able to do things with people again.

Part of the reason for starting this blog was as kind of a diary to remember things. We're currently in the process of getting ready to move, which means going through all of our things and donating everything we don't want to move halfway across the world. Today we did books.
Turns out we had a lot of books.
I realised a big reason I keep books is I like remembering what I've read. I used to keep a list and review of what I read, but they got lost in my notes app.
So I've decided I am going to just post them on here. Enjoy some crappy book reviews (the reviews are crappy, hopefully not the books) coming your way!
