James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 16hBrrr. It’s going to be a chilly wait for the train this morning 2140
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Made it back to the gym for an easy session (and some thirst traps) 4411
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I was slightly optimistic when I posted this thinking I was past the worst. I was not 5130
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Don’t get gastroenteritis. Between the fever, exhaustion and constant bathroom trips the past 36 hours have not been entirely fun 18320
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Perks of my third office day this week. My boss took me out an amazing lunch 2230
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think my new weekly core workout is starting to have an impact 71422
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Slight diary fail this morning. Thought my first meeting was at 10am so had plenty of time for a morning gym session. 8:45 mid workout get an email about the 9am meeting… only just made home in time, still in gym kit and sweaty. Not the ideal start to Monday 2100
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Suspect there will be fewer gym photos from the new gym. 3400
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Going to pop to the new gym for a reccy, test the equipment and most importantly test out the mirrors for gym pics and thirst traps 0130
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The boyfriend wanted to take his 90’s Tipo to Simply Italian at Beaulieu. We ended up dodging the rain with a potter round the National Motor Museum and the house 0250
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Tapas worked, although I could have done with an extra pan 6391
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I think my death row meal would be a really good baked cheese and nice bread 3220
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I decided I want to do tapas (ish) for dinner tonight so I am currently prepping six different cooked dishes. I may regret this in a couple of hours 060
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I can 100% guarantee that my boss, based in Sydney, would not appreciate me calling her at some random time in her evening to tell her I’m ill and won’t be working today apple.news/Aqk6SrLp0Rm6...apple.news‘Calling in’ sick with a text or email must end, says work tsar — The Times and The Sunday TimesSir Charlie Mayfield, who now advises the Treasury, said improving communication could help more people return to work after being signed off 280
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 25/09/2026In light of my gym closing for a year, I’ve decided the most sensible thing is to join my local spa, which incidentally has a decent gym. Expect more posts like this, now I can just pop in for an hour or so any time 2251
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Bugger. My gym is closing 6 weeks for a massive refurbishment and rebuild. I’d better start looking at some other places 3100
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Ankle is definitely unhappy, but at least it’s not swollen. Given I am incredibly bad at resting, this might be a challenge 3120
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Tonight’s rugby training was a no-contact taster. I have managed to bruise my hand and knee, get studs in the shin and roll my ankle… this is not boding well for the start of contact training 2110
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Last weekends FT magazine did an entire section in praise of brown food and it’s now past the autumn equinox, so mushroom risotto seemed perfect 0160
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Laptop is away, time to make a quick risotto for dinner and then get to rugby training 0110
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Ouch, physio really got deep on to my bicep tendon today. Going to feel that tomorrow 140
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Proper and coffee and a sneaky mid-morning gym session. Tuesday is looking better than Monday 3580
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I didn’t notice I used the last of the good coffee yesterday so this morning is being powered by the emergency coffee bags 2120
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 19/09/2026All dressed up for the end of touch season dinner with the rugby team 1490
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 19/09/2026M4 is closed, so it’s traffic chaos in Reading. On the plus side the gym is deserted but getting into town this evening is going to be a mission 330
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Work is being deeply annoying and stressful at the moment, so cocktail is much needed 5770
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I actually slept properly last night. Feel like a new man compared to yesterday 2220
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 16/09/2026After getting less than five hours sleep last night, I am impressed I made it all 0280
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Appear to be unable to sleep tonight. I think tomorrow is going to be tough 290
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I’ve got an easy morning, so coffee in the bath and a good soak of the sore legs 0642
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Tried somewhere new for a sports massage. My legs are so tight, that was an exceptionally painful hour, now feel like I’ve just run a marathon 2200
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Today has been productive. Unpacked, done the washing, a supermarket trip, gym session, a walk and finally made dinner/next weeks lunches. I think the rest of the evening will involve minimal activity 1160
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Went to the gym and after my normal workout, I did a 40 minute core session my friend called Core Whore. I think there is a distinct chance I won’t be able to move my midriff tomorrow 3240
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Given I was putting the shorts away this seems like the appropriate weekend to get the knitwear out. I don’t think I need to buy any more for a while 3260
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 12/09/2026And just like that, holiday is over, I’m back in the UK and in the taxi home 0190
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I foolishly checked my work calendar while organise some fun dinners next week. Accidentally saw an emergency team meeting and all hands, not entirely a relaxing end to the holiday 480
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Final holiday thirst, although not loving this hotel lighting as much 6820
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Done 17,000 steps before lunch just pottering around Bucharest. 1490
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The Transfăgărășan was stunning, definitely worth the detour and we even saw some bears from the safety of the car 1370
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Had a busy day touristing and getting in plenty of steps. Now to enjoy the 30°C weather, blue skies and a glass of something cold 0350
James @jameswrh.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Tourist morning at what is apparently the largest open air museum in Europe 0280
