Day 2 of Becoming Batman

 First of January 2021


Well, day one of 2021. Who would have thought that we would make it here alive? The UK is recording record numbers of people testing positive for Corona Virus. More deaths and more strain on the NHS. This cock-up of a government hasn’t handled this pandemic at all well, and where I will differ from Batman is that he was apolitical, I on the other hand am determined to get my voice heard. I think the UK is being run a group racist, xenophobe elitists who removed us from the EU using Nazi Style Propaganda, lying and cheating. Make no mistake that when we are all vaccinated and able to gather, I will be gathering and protesting with my fellow rejoiners.


It’s been a rather lazy day. I spent the morning sleeping, the early afternoon watching The Boys on Prime TV and then went for a walk. Yes that’s right, I got up off my lardy arse and went for a walk, Rob came with me and we had a lovely conversation about the Virus, how it’s affected us and then he mentioned how much of their business is being transferred to the Frankfurt office as a result of Brexit.


I think today was a bit of a turning point, usually when I decide to start a diet, the first thing I do is weigh myself. I know I have a lot of weight to lose but maybe, just maybe, it doesn’t have to be about the weight. I guess what I am alluding to is that if I take care of mind and body then there will be no reason for me to diet.


This morning I made oats porridge for breakfast and I usually put in a good amount (a very good amount) of sugar and butter. I didn’t today, I ate it just as it was. I was quite proud of myself and so didn’t feel too bad when I popped 2 teaspoons of sugar into my coffee, and raided the sweetie tub. It’s hard to imagine what Batman might do if his problems were so small? In Batman’s world, Alfred would have brought me my coffee and I would be nowhere near the sugar bowl. I would have had breakfast made for me and then perhaps I would go to my personal gym for a workout with a private trainer.


That’s not my life however and so I should take the small victories where I can. Today’s victories are these:


  1. I did not put sugar and butter in my porridge

  2. I went for a walk 2.9Km to be exact.

  3. I have not yet fought with my daughter (It’s only 17:34pm)


I wonder what little victories I can celebrate tomorrow?

Becoming My Own Batman day 7

  Day 7 Becoming My Own Batman 6 January 2021 I have just been watching the news and I am absolutely disgusted at the scenes coming from the US Capitol Building. If you ever needed a picture to describe white privilege then that’s it. Police standing around, protesters breaking windows and taking pictures on the senate floor. If I was an American I would be totally ashamed. In the summer we attended a BLM march in London. I know they weren’t as big as the one’s in the US, but the number of police and tear gas being shot into the crowds really brings to light exactly how big the gap is between the races. I am angry and I just hope Trump and his enablers are prosecuted for inciting violence and sedition. Anyway, today was a good day. I went to work, went for my walk (with the whole family). I really have a pretty boring life. I ate lots today.  Today’s victories I went for a walk 2.8Km in 37 mins (a bit slow because of the talking) I had a lovely conversation with my daughter during the

Becoming My Own Batman Day 5

  Day 5 Becoming My Own Batman 4 January 2021 Back to work today, it would be lovely if I had a huge inheritance like Bruce Wayne, I often imagine what it would be like to be rich don’t you? I would love to have someone cook for me, clean for me (although honestly since Rob has been home since March due to Covid, I almost do), I would like someone to train me and drive me around. I often joke that if Rob and I didn’t have to work, we’d be members of Champney’s Country Club and we’d eat breakfast and play a round of golf before enjoying a massage and then fetching the kids from school. Oh it’s a lovely dream and Rob has taken me once to a golf driving range and I can’t say it went too well. I also imagine getting a degree but I applied a few years ago and my A level equivalents were not good enough. I have looked to do some distance learning but it’s really expensive. Went to get the results of my MRI today and except for a disc that is slightly misaligned, my spine is in good condition

Day 1 Becoming my own Batman ( 2nd Time Round)

  11 January 2021 Day 1 of Becoming My Own Batman Yes, I fell off the wagon BIG TIME, I wasn’t going to do it anymore, yes I was just gonna quit! Then I realised that I am allowed to not be perfect yet. I have had a few days off work and I am feeling just a little relieved that I have not had to go in. I don’t think people realise just how stressful it is working in essential retail has been.  For a whole year we have been exposed to people who feel that coming into the store at 7am for the newspaper is essential. During the first lockdown we didn’t have any builders or workers coming into the store either, now it’s just like a normal day. Pop in three or four at a time to get a sandwich and a drink. These people should be at home!! Mothers and fathers come in with tiny babies. If you ask me honestly that’s plain and simple child endangerment. Supermarkets are becoming the new superspreaders and yet I can’t say anything to anyone who chooses not to wear a mask or wears a mask under the
