Weeknote 2025-W40

Again, I was pretty bad at actually writing down what I did this week. The best part was perhaps the holiday to Barry / Cardiff.

Also - week forty! The year has gone by very quickly.

Monday

No notes.

Tuesday

No notes.

Wednesday

No notes, but I know what I did was pack for the holiday.

Thursday

I met my friend to get the train to Barry, and on this first day we arrived around three, dropped off our bags, and went for a walk around Friar's Point and the beach. Around six we got some chips for dinner, and retired around eight (I had a bath).

Barry is quite a nice area - it is a little dead, however has fairly clean air and the infrastructure is quite new, which is pleasant.

Friday

We had breakfast at the Brewer's Fayre by the Premier Inn, then went back to Friar's Point to see it at low tide. We got drenched with rain, so had to return to the hotel to dry out a bit and change some clothes, then went back out and into Cardiff. We walked about, visited Roath Park (still in the pouring rain), then met my friend's cousin and walked about and chatted.

In the evening we grabbed a pizza for dinner.

Saturday

The last full day of the holiday. We went to the museum for almost the entire day, which was fairly interesting. Then, we went to Pizza Hut and had dinner there. First time I've ever actually been to Pizza Hut - it's actually fairly good! (Pizza is the compromise between what I eat and what my friend eats, hence why we have had this so often).

Sunday

Got the train back, arriving back home around half three. I grabbed some lunch at my usual cafe and read a bit, before coming back home. In the evening, we had dinner at a new Thai place. It was good food and the hosts were very friendly!

Stats

Screentime

1d in total. That is 3h 33m or 1/7 of the week. It's... not great.

Step count

I walked 95k steps in total (47km, 2980 kcal). Oddly, despite being on holiday I walked less than the week before.

Reading

I finished The Gift, and read A Breath of French Air in a single day. Since then, I have been reading Fictions. It's a really, really good book! I may need to write a blog entry about this book at some point...

M05 study update

... For the fourth week in a row, I haven't studied. That's essentially a full month! I need to get back on it.

Languages

Italian

Not done anything on it.

German

See above.

Music

Mandolin

Of course I couldn't do it over the holiday, but I have been playing the Cello suite again.

Health

Exercise

I have not swum or been to the gym once.

Weight and diet

Again, I didn't track my calories well so I can't really say much here.
