Another early start this morning — 1st of March, new month and renewed enthusiasm!
Got sorted and headed off for golf with Wayne and Nathan Creed. It was actually a really enjoyable round. The course is finally starting to dry out after all the wet weather and we even had some decent sunshine for a change which made everything feel better.
I played reasonably well too, ending up around 88 which was enough to nudge my handicap down from 19.1 to 19.0. Progress, albeit painfully slow progress! It’s becoming clear that breaking through into the 18s is going to take some proper consistency and hard work, but at least it’s heading in the right direction.
After golf I came home and cracked on with various jobs around the house, including continuing my ongoing battle with the VHS recorder setup. I finally managed to properly work out the recording side of things, which felt strangely satisfying after all the messing around it’s taken to get there.
Later in the afternoon we headed over to Bicester. I drove because I’ve decided I’m going to try and seriously cut down my alcohol intake during March. We’ll see how successful that turns out to be…
It was Nathan’s birthday so the whole family gathered round which was really nice for him. Charl and Miles arrived a bit later because they’d been visiting a wedding venue beforehand and were absolutely raving about it afterwards. Sounds very much like they may already have found “the one” and, from the conversations, it seems the likely wedding date could be the end of April 2027. Very exciting to hear them talking about it all becoming real.
As people gradually headed home we stayed behind to help tidy everything up and then eventually made our own way home once it was all sorted.
We finished off the last few episodes of Paradise afterwards, so we’re now fully up to date. Really enjoying it actually.
So overall, a decent start to March. I stayed disciplined on the alcohol front, although perhaps less disciplined when it came to eating healthily. Still, it’s a start. Let’s see if I can actually lose some weight and get myself back into a bit of shape this month.
End of Day Summary:
A productive and positive start to March. Good golf, family celebrations and some exciting wedding talk from Charl and Miles. Pleased with the discipline around not drinking — now the challenge will be keeping the momentum going and balancing that with eating properly too.
