  • What a wonderful day.

    I had a wonderful day today, went for a walk down to the local cafe, grabbed brunch then a few treats afterwards then walked back home while taking my time to enjoy the wonderful weather. It is something I need to do more often because I have a tendency to complain about the bad weather…

  • Wonderful first day off.

    Woke up this morning and headed down to the local cafe for some egg bene for brunch and picked up a few treats from the desert cabinet that I’ll enjoy later on when I have an afternoon coffee. I’m going to make use of my Snapper Card and do a bit of travelling around on…

  • Let the annual leave begin.

    Finished work tonight and it never felt so good knowing that for the next two weeks off I have no responsibilities other than to take care of myself. I put the first load of washing on then went for a relaxing walk tonight around the block, came back, put the washing out, had a shower,…

  • One more day.

    One more day to go and then I am on my two weeks off annual leave. My last day of the week I am planning to make it as stress free as possible – I am going to be as cool as a cucumber, I’m not going to let customers get under my skin and…

  • Two days to go.

    It is so close to the end of the week, I can hardly wait for my annual leave to begin. Tonight I had a small walk then had a lite meal of some fresh ciabatta bread and a vegetarian Mexican style chilli that has lots of fibre and protein which left me satisfied but not…

  • Another three days to go.

    Finished wok tonight at 10pm and then went for a walk – even if I don’t do the same amount every night my goal is to at least get out of the house to get some exercise after being inside all day. The weather has been wonderful for the last couple of days and there…

  • On a break, looking forward to the end of work.

    On my 30 minute break at the moment while watching some political videos on YouTube – I had John West Protein+ Tuna Roasted Tomato & Onion (link) along with a tub of yoghurt (link). Tonight I’ll go for a walk after work – it allows me to clear my head and have my brain reset…

  • Another 4 days to go.

    I was able to make it through the first day back at work – the end of the week is looking so close, I’m trying to keep it together until the end of the week. On Monday I’m going to pop up in for my 3 monthly HbA1c test – I’m not too sure how…

  • One week to go.

    Back to work on Wednesday and then in 5 days I’m finally off for 2 weeks – I’ve been looking forward to time off for the whole year and it is almost there. Tonight I went for a walk and the temperature outside was 18 degrees celsius – not too hot but warm enough to…

  • A productive day today.

    After doing some shopping today I came home, watched some YouTube and then cooked the chicken and had that with some fresh bread. The chicken was ok but would have much preferred having a tandoori butterflied chicken but I guess the Manuka Honey & Rosemary butterflied chicken is good enough. After enjoying the meal I…
