  • I went for a lvery long walk tonight – 17.4km (it took 2.55 hours to complete so if I round it up to 3hours then my speed of walking is 5.8kmph). I don’t know how many calories were burnt but given that I’ve indulged a bit on my break and on my birthday I needed…

  • I had work today which wasn’t so bad – the morning was quiet but in the evening it started to get a bit busy but it’ll be interesting to see whether it is busy tomorrow with the Matariki public holiday result in a quiet day because families are going away to take advantage of the…

  • Had a late start for work but I’m happy that tomorrow things are normal – I didn’t go for my walk tonight because of the late finish but also because I wanted to do a whole lot of organising around the house. In my bedroom in the closest I have a habit of keeping all…

  • I decided I needed to get out of the house after being stuck in day all yesterday – I went down the road and popped into the local bakery in the mall for a cheese and onion toasted sandwich, a piece of carrot cake and a mochachino. I had a look around the mall, checked…

  • I went into Wellington to pick up a U7 Pro Max and UXG Max then ordered a Cloud Key from GoWifi which will hopefully arrive in the next couple of days. I’ve got it all setup using the UniFi cloud instance (3 day trial) but once I receive the Cloud Key then I’ll cancel the…

  • Final day of work on Sunday for the week, on Saturday I went for a walk but I got caught in a downpour around 3/4 way through the walk so by the time I came home I was pretty much drenched resulting in my running shoes being wet. Tonight I went for a short walk…

  • Well, it appears that I’ve been able to have time off over June with one caveat – I’ll need to wok the late night shift on Friday and Saturday (working from home) which isn’t so bad with the remaining 3 days I took using the three days in lieu that I have built up over…

  • Finished work on Sunday for the week, took the bus down to the store to pick up some groceries and then walked part of the way back (my arms got too tired to keep on carrying the grocery bags), I had a late dinner and then I went for a 10.5km walk which enabled me…

  • 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…

  • Tomorrow (I started writing this blog post on Thursday) is Friday or what would be for most people ‘hump day’, the middle of my week then two days more afterwards then I have Monday and Tuesday off for my weekend. Law & Order: Organised Crime Season 5 has started up again – reminds me very…
