27th March 2023 - 11:25am - Monday: A New Week - but lots to do

 


Slightly annoyed at myself as I headed off to a meeting this morning only to find it was for tomorrow.  Not sure how I managed to put it into my diary on the wrong day!!!

It's a gorgeous Monday morning.  Sun is shining brightly.  However it is still a little nippy.  This month seems to have flown by.

This week - which ends with the start of April on Saturday - is going to be another busy one - both project wise and personal.

I still have to get a couple of courses organised.  Two with job centres, both of whom said they had venues we could use and then told me that I had to arrange our own - which is very frustrating.  We also are trying to organise one with Haringey Well-Being Network, and they are dragging their feet a little.  It all adds to the stress.

I have been promoting our Clissold Park walk online, and will be doing the same with the Highbury Fields one from the start of next week.  I am also finding places to drop off posters and flyers.

This week:
Monday - general HMHB project work (emails, funding, etc.).  Plus I would like to see a film tonight - several I fancy.
Tuesday - attending meeting of Clissold Neighbourhood Forum (to promote walk) - Dean is running our exercise session at Highbury Leisure Centre at 9:30am.  In the evening I am off to see Oklahoma at the Wyndham's Theatre, Charing Cross.
Wednesday is a day at the office and I want to get a lot finished - so will spend 8-9 hours.  I also fancy a film in the evening.
Thursday - Clissold walk in morning - theatre in afternoon (seeing Unfriend at the Criterion), and online quiz in the evening - I'll do a separate entry about the quiz later.
Friday - Islington are running some free History/Health walks in different parks on the last Friday of every month - and this week it is Elthorne Park at 11am.
Saturday - I run an exercise session on Highbury Fields at 9:45am.  Then we are meeting as a group at Piccadilly Circus at 1pm to head down the Mall to Buckingham Palace, take some photos, before going to a picnic in Green Park opposite.

So a lot going on!!!

22nd March - 12:10pm - Wednesday: Outings to organise

  One of the best things that we do is arrange outings and trips to various different places.  It is a highlight for me as not only do I get to visit some fantastic venues and experiences but I also have ten to twenty friends to talk to about it too. We have had some terrific afternoons so far at: Science Museum Natural History Museum Victoria and Albert Museum National Gallery Museum of London Docklands Museum Imperial War Museum English National Opera London Coliseum Theatres London Zoo Sky Garden Experience Islington Museum  - that is the one for the photo above And more.  It's been amazing.  Really really, cool.  The best thing is bringing people together from our different sessions - we have a course we do with organisations and projects, we have free exercise sessions, our amazing walks.  These social events are precious. I have to arrange two for April 2023.  We are already taking ten people to a comedy night on the 29th at the Pleasance Th...

5th April 2023 - 3:15pm - Wednesday - New Monthly Health Pack for April is published

  We published our latest Monthly Health Pack this week - for April 2023 - a massive 40 pages.  Yes, it takes a lot of hours and research, but I think it is a fabulous way to reach people and get our message across about trying to be healthy, as well as we all have a responsibility to look after our amazing bodies. April issue is jam packed full of info, news, photos, games, and more.  We have PDFs of all our packs on our website, and they can be downloaded from there. www.hmhb2016.org.uk The packs have been going for three years - ever since the first lockdown in 2020.  Wow, is it really that long ago?   We did 50 weekly issues, half of them being 26 pages.  We then moved to 36 page monthly, and that has increased to 40 pages - which we feel is just about the maximum we can achieve. Do check them out.  We focus on Mind-set, Nutrition, Exercise, and Health - but also include fun, quizzes, news, recipes, and other stuff.

Welcome to HMHB's new Blog - all about us and what we are doing

  I will confess that the previous blog had not had an entry for around a year and a half.  Not because I did not want to, but I got out of the habit and then it just ran away from me. It was www.hmhb2016.blogspot.com So that is still available to look at for back history. However, I have been determined to start a new blog since the start of 2023 (you can see how long it has taken to get around to actually doing it!!!). So here we are. This blog is going to be talking about what I did that day (or the day before, depending on when I type the entry into it). I am not going to bother going into too much history here - you can see that on our website on our "About" page: www.hmhb2016.org.uk Do sign up for our blog to see how we are progressing.  2023 is going to be a busy year for Healthy Minds, Healthy Bods, and it would be terrific to have people following us, supporting us, and that gives us encouragement and focus.
