Learning

I have just started learning French again. Using DuoLingo (just subscribed to the paid version Super Duo Lingo)

Currently in the process of converting this site into a dual-lingual site now that Astro supports i18n (localisation) better.

Fitness

Have started running again. Started using the standing desk again and have bought a standing mat to make standing up for periods of time more comfortable. Strengthening the calf muscles. Going for more walks in the morning or at lunch time. Now that the days are longer and slightly warmer this is more achieveable. Trying to do Zwift once a week.

Family

Emma is almost 6 and Arthur is 9. Both busy with school and out of school.
