  • 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…

  • Raining with a cold snap.

    With how horrible the weather is I decided to stay and work at home instead and I’ll do the same on Thursday as well because the temperature is dropping with more rain on the way. The forecast on the Metservice website says the weather could improve on Friday onwards but the problem is that the…

  • Things are hopefully getting back to normal.

    Over the last 3-4 days the weather has been crazy in the Wellington region – even in Lower Hutt there has been non-stop raining, my drive way was flooded but I’m happy that my house is raised rather than the new style ‘slab on the ground’ types’ that get built these days. It is still…

  • Keeping safe inside.

    In the Wellington region the weather has gone crazy over the last few days with a lot of very serious flooding in Wellington suburbs with the Hutt Valley (at least Lower Hutt) not too badly hit although the Hutt River is getting pretty high as you get closer to Silverstream and heading into Upper Hutt.…

  • Thank goodness it is the end of the week.

    Today felt as though it had dragged on for longer than necessary but parts of it sped by but on my break I ordered a few things – pumpkin soup, some fresh fruit and I paired that up with the bagel that I put in my freezer last week, put garlic butter on it, wrapped…

  • 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…

  • A good day at work.

    Today was a good day at work, nothing out of the ordinary but for some reason I was feeling some good vibes throughout the day – I think it is due in part that the number of customers were regular but not overwhelming so that there is sufficient enough of a gap between serving one…

  • A good day at work.

    Got up tody at 9:30am and went for my dail walk, I arrived home, had a shower, watched a bit of television and then headed into town to the office for the second of the two mandatory days in the office. Work dragged on – I need a good night sleep tonight and I’ll probably…

  • An early start to Wednesday.

    Last week I started getting up on Wednesday and Thursday at 9:45am and on the other days at 10:45 but this week I’m getting up 15 minutes earlier so then I have my alarm go off at 9:30am and 10;30am which gives me 15-20 minutes or so to get up, have a drink of water,…

  • A productive weekend.

    The weekend has come to an end but looking back I’m pretty happy with how productive I have been over the couple of days off. I bought a new pair of shoes on Monday, picked up a television, sold off the Apple TV 4K and my old TV then purchases a Samsung smart watch. On…
