Well, that is the end of another week and start of a new one. After finishing work my goal was to do at least 17.4km but I was hoping to do walk 23.2km but my legs were too sore and the temperature was too cold that I really needed to get home. I got home around 30 minutes ago and my legs are sore – muscles that I didn’t know existed are reminding me that yes, they do exist. I then had a nice hot shower then jumped into bed to do my Wordle and Connections puzzles before checking out some videos on YouTube along with catching up on a few tv series episodes that I had missed during the week.

Tomorrow I’m going to go shopping – I’m looking at getting some spicy chicken nibbles along with the Mexican salad that they have. On Wednesday to Sunday I only have around 1/2 hour for a meal so I have to keep it pretty basic such as a soup or chia seeds with yoghurt but on my days off I have the benefit of more time to be able to put together a nice meal. I might pair that up with some fresh ciabatta bread – I don’t normally have bread but when I do I prefer ciabatta style sourdough bread which has a lot of flavour particularly when a thin layer of garlic and parsley butter is spread on it.

I’m still having a look at Beelink but I also found GMKtec who offer something similar to Beelink but is available to order and delivery right now. I’m also comparing it to a Dell Tower Plus and although it does have a Intel CPU I doubt I’ll notice the difference not to mention what I’m looking at comes with a nVidia 5080 w/ 16GB memory. I’m still procrastinating mainly because I want to see what happens with Apple, macOS and the Apple Silicon M5 along with rumours of a refresh from Intel then there is Zen 6 to be released next year. Keeping in mind that I’m happy with the laptop I have for everyday use I want to make sure that something I buy will last the distance.
