Now
2026-03-11 Wednesday
I just had my second knee surgery (left knee this time) and recovering at home. Fortunately it seems that the recovery is going to be easier this time, which is a huge relief, because I was exhausted for months last time.
My son is about to turn a year old, and I can’t quite believe that it’s been so long already. He remains delightful.
Before the surgery, I was able to record nearly 30 lessons for a complete rebuild of my online course. All I have to do now is to write all the accompanying lesson text, and then I can release it to all the existing students. This feels wonderful.

My son is a little over six months old and things are going splendidly. He’s healthy and seems happy, and I am grateful. We just moved him into his room and I already feel like he’s growing up astonishingly fast.
I’m having surgery on my right knee on Friday 3 October, which is the first of three major surgeries I’ll be having in the next nine months or so, but hopefully when they’re done, my body will work a lot better and I can focus on long term health and strength.
I’m working on an upgrade to my Alexander Technique online course which, although it keeps getting delayed by life circumstances like baby and health, I am excited to build and share.

Early days of fatherhood
At the time of writing (7th March), my son isn’t here yet, but he will be soon, I’m winding down and preparing for whatever comes.
Learning to be a better coach
I’m about to start level 3 of Aletheia’s Advanced Coaching Program. I’m reading a lot of materials relating to this, and thinking about how I will be able to launch a more sincere coaching practice when I have appropriate spaciousness for it.
Writing
Writing seems to come in seasons for me, and I’m feeling the transition to a more fertile one coming. I’m gently working on an essay collection, because I want to organise my ideas into a coherent narrative and fill in the connective tissue that until now has been merely implied.
Healing my right hip
I have an impinged right hip, which causes pain and gets in the way of a lot of daily activities (like sitting down). I’m doing a lot of targeted corrective exercise and mobility work to try to resolve this.
