My community centred project. Guess who's back?

Details
Created: 07 July 2024

I think I am getting my mojo back.

The government has changed. I’m hoping to also change, come out of a personal slump and get back into being a positive contributor to the local area again.

Since the pandemic I have been feeling low energy. Starting with constant snoozing on the couch watching world events unfold on TV during lockdown, to frequent deep sleeping during the day after having Covid and probably exacerbated with taking medication for high blood pressure. It’s been three years since catching Covid.

Have never felt so tired and wanting to sleep so much, and equally not wanting to leave the house.

It has curtailed any aspiration to put effort into the local community. I’ve feel like I’ve talked a lot, reliving times when I have been able to put in, but not really living up to the standards set by others, like Stewart Britton, Tracy and Simon from the Wight Bear and James from The Larderhouse, the team at Makla amongst many other people.

That listlessness is self perpetuating too. To come out of long covid, more physical exercise helps, getting out into the fresh air helps. That’s felt like too much effort even though I know it’s the right thing to do. Even breathing is hard work, as highlighted by the sleep apnea that my wife has to put up with.

I was interviewed for the Evolve to Succeed podcast by Warren Munson in June 2023.

It's always a bit weird to listen to yourself...

A reminder about the Walk With Chandy event

I saw this pop up on social media as a reminder and wanted to share on this website as I don't think I blogged it at the time.

On one of the sunniest days in 2021 we walked with Chandy, a disability rights campaigner would had been subjected to daily abuse when out walking. The way he walks has been affected by his disability, from the impact of a brain tumour as a child.

We wanted to support him as if the pandemic wasn't bad enough, to suffer this too was just ridiculous.

I love watching Chris Do's videos and listening to his podcasts, so using this post for storage.

I met and briefly chatted to Chris at Atomicon 2023 in Newcastle. Am hoping to get to one of his workshops when he is back in the UK, or even Europe.

Park Life on Tour

Created: 06 April 2024

Another website winging its way to you.

Park Life on Tour

It will cover me travelling the UK visiting Innovation Parks, Collaboration Hubs, Science Parks, Technology Clusters and much more.

Innovation is much talked about and promoted as a key fundamental in improving outcomes for any sector, in terms of growth, efficiencies and reducing costs. So, I want to interview people and get their take.

I will also be adding my experiences on the road with my EV, checking out the UK electric car charging infrastructure.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
