Hi, I’m Ben.
Welcome to my website.

Another gym sesh this morning. After a couple months plagued by bugs and colds, it finally feels like I'm building consistency again.

Also started a new workout program, put together with help from Gemini. I'll write a proper post about that soon.

We did it. We finally bought a new mattress. New Year, new... spine alignment?

We were fed up with our Nectar memory foam mattress. Well, I was. A few years ago, it developed a dip on my side of the bed - insert weight-related comment here. It was still in warranty, so Nectar sent out an independent company to check it. The guy who came out acknowledged there was a dip, but it wasn't a big enough dip for Nectar to send out a replacement. Thanks Nectar.

I don't know why I continued to put up with it. But, after a couple weeks of sustained bad sleep and waking up achy and sore over Christmas, enough was enough. This time, we've ditched memory foam completely and gone for a medium-firm pocket sprung mattress. My back cannot wait.

Booked a flu jab. Work have offered to pay for it, so seems silly not to.

Now if I could just stop getting colds...

It's that time of year again. Family are asking me for ideas about what to get me for Christmas and I have no idea. I'm struggling to think of one thing, let alone multiple things to give people options.
