  • A productive first day of the weekend.

    I finally got down to Kmart today to pickup the microwave shelf that I saw online. I couldn’t find it on the shelf but lucky enough the guy at the local Kmart was able to locate it because it wasn’t on the shelf where it should be. I got home, assembled it and then organised…

  • The start of a weekend.

    Today was good and I finally made the progress I wanted to finish up detail cleaning my house – all the skirting boards have been wiped down, corners of the ceilings removing any cobwebs, pulled out the furniture and vacuum cleaned behind it all. I was quite surprised at just how but dust and random…

  • Brrrr it has been a cold day today.

    The rain has stopped but it still is very cold outside but it looks like things will clear up by Tuesday so I’m going to hunker down until the cold weather passes. I worked from home and kept the heater running to keep warm – my power bill this month is probably going to be…

  • A wild and rainy day today.

    Woke up after sleeping in a bit and I was surprised at how wild the weather was and Radio NZ was keeping a live story as events unfolded (link). My driveway is has a blocked storm water drain so unfortunately it is flooding a bit but nothing major happened although I haven’t gone for a…

  • A long cold day.

    I’m happy that I worked at home today because the weather has been atrocious where at the time of writing my blog the temperature is 6°C and there is plenty of rain along with wind and warnings by the Metservice. I’m at home with my heater running and I’m thankful that I made the investment…

  • Getting back into the swing of things.

    It was a tough start to the day getting up at 9am after being used to getting up at a more leisurely time but I know that if I want to get back into a good routine then it’ll require maybe a week of discomfort then eventually my body will get used to the routine…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    Laying in bed and relaxing before heading off to sleep. I finally made the decision and ordered some sheets for my bed, duvet covers, pillow protection sleeves etc. I’ve had to split it between Farmers and Ikea because there weren’t sheet sets at Ikea and Farmers had them on special so I thought I may…

  • Another relaxing day.

    Had a great night sleep last night and I’ve decided that I’ll just stay at home instead of going down town. I’m still having a look at the duvet covers and sheets – checking out Ikea which are located in Auckland but you can order their products online to get delivered. I’m still trying to…

  • A great day relaxing at home.

    I slept in today and decided to have a lazy day at home – no going down the road, just enjoying the vibes of being at home and watching television. Mum dropped off some food for me to cook tonight when we have dinner together – roast chicken, potatoes, kumera, parsnips and pumpkin, boiled broccoli…

  • End of the first week back at work.

    Had a great day today, finally caught up on some office work that thad been building up and hopefully that as long as the team on Monday and Tuesday keep on top of it then it should mean it doesn’t build up again. I ordered some shopping online from Woolworths because I wanted chicken burgers…
