  • Getting closer to Christmas.

    I went for an 11.6km walk tonight and the weather wasn’t too bad tonight – a nice breeze, a reasonable temperature and not too many crazies out on the road. I arrived back home after 1 hour an 50 minutes, put the wheelie bin out to be picked up on Wednesday and unlike some of…

  • Wasn’t going to but ended up buying presents.

    Normally over the festive season we don’t give presents to each other but my sister and her partner decide to get something for me so what I decided to do is get something for them along with something for mum as well. I didn’t go overboard but each of them were something unique that I’m…

  • A good start to the week.

    Had a relaxing day at home, tidying up around the place, had a chat to mum about the work I’d like to do around the yard – funny how as soon as I mentioned that it started spitting outside. Well, it wasn’t enough to stop me from going for a walk so I went for…

  • End of the first week of my annual leave.

    End of the first week of my leave and one thing I am also looking at is getting some barbells to do some light weights when I am at home – when watching some television being able to get some reps in which will help to tone and define my arms (the walk I try…

  • Back to using WordPress.

    Today was rather quiet but I decided to use that time to go for a walk, tidy around the house and then head down to the supermarket to pick up some salad and chicken for dinner. After coming back home I put the chicken in the oven and while waiting I’m watching some YouTube videos…

  • Feeling good.

    I went down to the shops today to have a walk around, had aa coffee and a muffin, had a look at some of the specials and see if there was anything that looked interesting. I went for a good walk around along with walking down to Harvey Norman as well then back up to…

  • Why are people surprised. Republicans do what Republicans do.

    Well, the Trump administration has released some of the Epstein file and just as I supected they redacted a 100+ pages of the file resulting in next to nothing useful being released. Why aren’t I surprised? The moment I heard that the bill they passed included provisions regarding the ability to redact parts of the…

  • All required shopping has been done for the week.

    I got up this morning at around 10am then headed down to a cafe in Petone with mum for an eggs bene and a bowl of mochaccino and then I had a second one because why the heck no, life is too short not to have a treat on occasions. We then headed down to…

  • Getting the backyard sorted out.

    One of the things I am going to do be doing this year is to make the backyard a lot more hospitable – tidying it up so that during the summer or just on a nice day I can spend time outside. The first part will be cleaning up all the weeds around the place…

  • A couple of settings can make all the difference.

    So I’ve changed the setting on all of my devices to ‘reduced transparency’ then voila the performance improves, the stuttering on my tvOS device disappears – I don’t know what Apple did in terms of their liquid glass transparency but holy heck it must have had performance penalty. My Apple TV 4K was a bit…
