A new phase in the life of the Seity blog

I decided a bit of server consolidation was required, partly because my old Seity blog was hosted on an aging copy of Drupal, installed on a server in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard." (with apologies to Douglas Adams).

Although I do have another blog lurking around, it turned out that nostalgia had left me quite liking the years-old content of this particular blog, so I thought I would migrate it to somewhere else, and in a form I could manage more easily in future. So, welcome to the new version of the Seity blog, hosted as a static site using Pelican. Having nailed that, and set up a theme to keep me going a while, I felt an update was timely!

So here we go. What's new? Well, I'm still doing training a bit like Wild Training, but different. As I'm working in Rickmansworth, I tracked down the Bodycoach Gym there and found some Metafit classes, which are good fun. Being a friendly gym with weight rooms, they're also seeing some use.

After some difficult years of intensive but very interesting training, Mrs H is now a yoga teacher, running some excellent classes in and around Amersham. She goes under the name Yoga By Ellie, and I'm lucky enough to make it along to a couple of her classes most weeks. I'm really enjoying it, I have to say. There are a good few men coming along to the classes, and we're all getting more flexible, week by week. All in all it is a great antidote to the other things I'm doing - running, working, walking, ferrying children around etc.

Did I mention that Charlotte, whose christening featured on this blog, is now gone 7? Yikes!
