  • Finally the end of the week.

    Woke up this morning and went for a 8km walk a little later than my normal time but the main thing is that I got out of the house for that walk I need in the morning. I know it isn’t setting the bar very high but what I’m aspiring to is to get up…

  • Coming to the end of the week.

    Woke up this morning and went for a 10km walk and it felt really good – the weather was mild, the sun was out but it wasn’t intense so I enjoyed the warmth and there were plenty of other people out also enjoying the experience. On Sunday I’m looking forward to a good walk but…

  • Things are getting better.

    I don’t know what happened today but the day actually pretty good. Most of the time when I am work I am going through the motions and just wanting the whole day to end so I can do something other than working but today something felt different. I got up at 9;30am this morning, left…

  • A productive day at work.

    I got up at 9:30am this morning and left home at around 9:45am which allowed me plenty of time after I came home to relax, cool down, watch some news on YouTube and then jump into the shower to get prepared for the day. Went into the office today for my second mandatory day in…

  • A good day back at work.

    Today was a good day, I woke up at 9:30am and left home for my morning walk at 9:45am, back in around 1 hour and 20 minutes, cooled down, had a shower, got dressed adn then headed out to catch the train into work. I had a great night sleep and it is funny how…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I decided to sleep in today because wanted to catch up on sleep but that didn’t sotp me from getting a 8km power walk in – around 2pm I went for an 8km walk, really got my heart rate up there and completed the whole set it around 1 hour and 17 minutes. At the…

  • Start of a new week.

    After having a nasty week of bad weather it is good to see the start of a new week which will mean geting back into a routine again – I’ve set my alarm and I know it’ll be difficult for the first couple of days but getting into a good routine will mean that everything…

  • One more day to go, feeling better.

    Had a good day to day apart from the first customer being one of those people who need help but aren’t willing to help themselves – you can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink. The one thing I learned, don’t let them get under your skin, advise the customer…

  • A very old evening tonight.

    After having many days of wind and rain there is now a suddenly drop in temperature down to 6 degrees celsius with the temperature in Lower Hutt reported as feeling as though it was 4 degrees celsius. For dinner I had some steamed vegetables and fish with hollandaise sauce over the top that I had…

  • Lousy weather but almost the end of the week.

    Sunday is almost here and it’ll be the end of the week. There has been nothing but crazy raining on Friday night and then all day today (Saturday) however it has now stopped it looks like it is going to start up on Sunday and then on Monday. Meanwhile I’ve finally used my toaster for…
