  • Where is spring?

    Another day of horrible weather – raining, windy and cold. Tonight I had some garlic bread, oven fries and chicken nibbles for dinner – something to warm me up on a cold evening. I’ve got my heater going but I’m hoping that the weather will get better because this is ideally the time when the…

  • Lousy weather tonight.

    Finished work and then went for a walk only to find that the weather was lousy. I was going to tough it out but by the time I got back after 5.8km it was getting close to raining then when I did get home the heavens opened. It makes me happy that I didn’t get…

  • Back to work on Friday.

    I’m feeling a whole lot better having a couple of days to rest and recuperate. The weather has been pretty lousy for the last couple of days, lots of wind and rain but hopefully it is the last bit of a nasty weather before spring comes around. I finished cleaning up around the house and…

  • Taking a day to recover.

    I decided to take a day off to recover and get back to my more energetic self – going to take it easy and relax. I woke up today, checked for updates and it appears that the October update for patch Tuesday will be next week however there was an update for Chrome which updated…

  • Feeling a bit lousy, might have tomorrow off.

    Been resting up but I’m feeling a bit run down and crappy – I tend to catch something right around when seasons change so I think what I’ll do is have a sleep and then see how I feel in the morning because sometimes a good night sleep can be the solution. I completed the…

  • Random thoughts about relationships.

    It is fun to sometimes to ‘ride the algorithm’ on YouTube to see where it takes you and what I found is a bunch of relationship videos appearing – a few funny shorts along with some long form discussions with a good portion either rage bait or people who clearly lack of the maturity to…

  • A relaxing day at home.

    A nice relaxing day at home where I was catching up on some news and once again it appears that the National lead coalition government is demonstrating how detached they are from what is happening out in the real world at the moment (link). I can understand the logic of means testing but why not…

  • Relaxing at home on a rainy night.

    Finished work tonight and I noticed it had started raining – basically it has been going on and off the whole night so I decided I’ll take the night off from going for a walk and instead chill out. Had some weird behaviour today with the work VPN crashing out and ended up going offline…

  • One more day.

    Finished work tonight, went for my nightly 11.6km walk and when I arrived home I decided to have some minestrone soup – Artisano make a good range of soups from the supermarket and they’re great to have in the fridge if one feels the need for something to eat with minimum fuss and bother. I’ve…

  • Nights are getting warmer.

    Went for my nightly walk and tonight I cracked a sweat for the first time given how cold it has been for the last few months I found that even when wearing a sweatshirt I still didn’t get hot enough to start sweating when on a walk. Getting closure to summer so I’ll finally give…
