About this site

I used to have a Wordpress website which documented my physical activities since 2017 when I undertook the London Marathon on behalf of Best Beginnings. It documented medical ups and downs, specific activities, rounds of golf, my multi-day canal ride in 2023 and lots of other nonsense.

Sadly as described in my first post some **** in the world decided that they wanted to run the site instead of me and so I have had to close that site.

So at the moment I have lots of old posts that I have downloaded into Obsidian and I hope to restore and add to the previous site.

And also, at risk of burning the world down or other disasters, I have enlisted the help of a ChatGPT account to help me manage this project and I am hoping to have restored the site by April of next year - see my September 2026 post.

My health is declining and I am aware that this will become my legacy site so I am aiming for Obsidian to Oblivion! A bit morbid I know!

But in the meantime, I shall keep plodding both mentally and physically and who knows I may develop the site well into the future.
