Enjoying the weekend.
First day of my weekend – walked down to my local Dutch bakery and cafe to order an eggs bene and a bowl of caffè mocha for a late brunch (well, technically it was around 3pm between lunch and dinner) – enjoying the good weather after having a week of wild rain and wind. I…

First day back at work.
Last night I started watching ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and now I am up to season 2 – I love a good binge watch while I’m waiting for new seasons to start of the other shows I like to watch. It is scary how close the narrative is to certain groups that appear to have grown…

Well, I learned something today.
My internet connection was acting kind of weird today, some websites were loading slowly and I couldn’t work out why so what I decided to do is do a complete reset back to factory defaults of my router and access point so that I would do a clean setup as if it were brand new.…

Feeling a little better, had a good night sleep.
I’m feeling a little bit better and I finally had a night of uninterrupted sleep which has enabled me to catch up on 4 days of waking up every couple of hours and rushing to the bathroom in pain. I’m still deciding whether I need an extra day to recover because I don’t want to…

As I’ve…

A busy day off but a lot accomplished.
As much as I like to relax on my day off I also want to get things done that I can’t or don’t get done during the week when I’m working. The first thing I did today was doing a clean install of all the Apple devices (including my iPhone 16 Pro Max where I…

Oops, forgot to add the title.
Quite a busy week so far in the technology industry – Google released Android 16 beta 4 (link) and it appears that the kernel version has also been updated (not a major version update) and I’ve read reports regarding the Pixel 9 Pro XL showing performance improvements. The expected release is around the middle of…

I got my blood test back, good news and great news.
On my 30 minute break from work I contacted the medical centre where my doctor operates from and organised the HbA1c blood test and urine test to check for kidney functions. The nurse at the medical centre contacted me back and informed me that my HbA1c has gone from 89 down to 41 which is…
