  • 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…

  • Getting closer to spring.

    Finished work tonight at 10pm and went for my walk – temperature outside was 13°C so it wasn’t uncomfortably cold and apart from a bit of drizzle I went for a 17.4km walk tonight where I completed it in around 2 hours and 40 minutes. I like to keep track of the speed I walk…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a good sleep in today and then went to mum’s place for dinner along with picking up some groceries for the next couple of weeks. For the last couple of weeks I have fallen out of a routine so I’m happy to get back into a routine tomorrow – got some extra fibre…

  • Thank god that day is over.

    Thank goodness that day is over – having to deal with a customer who blames us for their screw up and yes I understand a person can be frustrated but when you’re a fully grown adult you should be able to first take responsibility for your screw up and secondly to control the ‘big feelings’…

  • An interesting day to day.

    Rather uneventful day at work followed by a brisk walk – I decided to have a shorter walk tonight because I wasn’t in the mood for a longer one but I always like to make sure that I get out of the house and get some exercise after sitting on my backside all day. Anyway,…

  • Maybe there is something more to the nVidia-Intel alliance.

    Finished work tonight and went for a walk – it felt good that the weather is finally getting warmer with the temperature at 12°C and during the day it was around 16°C. It is great that the weather isn’t too hot or too cold so I’ll enjoy the Spring weather until summer comes but then…

  • I needed that walk after work.

    I finished work and went for a walk and tonight I decided to go for a 17.4km walk but funny enough I decided to time myself to see how much my fitness had improved and what I have found is that to do 5.8km it had gone from around 1 1/2 hours when I first…

  • End of a week, let’s hope for an uneventful one this week.

    I finished work tonight and I decided I needed to go for a long walk after dealing with a sizeable number of customers who put me in a bad mood. The most productive way I have found to deal with such emotions is to go for a long walk while listening to some music –…

  • Meh.

    Today was pretty meh, got up, logged in, worked for the day – nothing unusual, the usual flow of customers so nothing out of the ordinary. After work I went for an 11.6km walk then came back, had a shower then completed a few puzzles on the internet. I had a look at Microsoft 365…
