  • Back home from work.

    Back home from work and I decided that tonight I’ll have a night off because I had some exercise this morning and kept to my meal plan for today. The train ride back from work was good – I’m not too sure whether it is just me but I’ve noticed that the speed of the…

  • Back from work, out for a walk.

    Arrived home after work, going to head out for a walk because goodness knows I need a way to unwind after dealing some interesting customers today. I updated Chrome today on all my computers along with installing the patch Tuesday update for Windows 11 – no regressions yet but then again I tend to have…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    Back to work on Wednesday however it appears that the night train will be getting replaced with a bus but I guess it is the price one pays for having an improved rail network. I’ve set my alarm for 10am so I can get up out of bed, jump into my exercise gear and have…

  • Feeling a lot better.

    I’m feeling a lot better now after going for two walks totalling 23.2km – 11.6km in the afternoon then 11.6km in the evening. I think getting out in the fresh air and breathing in fresh air has helped my recovery and tomorrow then the next day I’ll be doing the same thing however when I…

  • A day of recovery.

    Today I spent the day at home recovering – I really wanted to avoid having time off from work but at the end of the day there is little to no benefit working if as a result you’re not as productive along with prolonging the recovery. I installed Chrome on my MacBook Pro to see…

  • Day off work sick.

    Still got a sore throat and I’ve lost my sense of smell and taste – I think I may have COVID but I’ll need to get a testing kit to see whether that is the case. I originally thought that maybe it was due to a cold or seasons changing but apparently it is quite…

  • A good day today.

    I had a fairly uneventful day today – some busy periods but mostly rather uneventful over all. When I woke up this morning I checked for updates and Apple had released an update for iOS, iPadOS and macOS in the for of 26.3.1 – the updates were pretty big (I have Apple Intelligence enabled on…

  • Today was a good day.

    I worked from home today because I was feeling under the weather to go into the office so I’ll be working for the rest of the week at home but I’ll be all recovered to go into the office next week. After finishing work tonight I went for a walk – had to wear a…

  • At the half way point.

    Work is going well and I noticed that macOS 26.4 beta 3 has been made available (link) which makes me wonder whether the delay could have been due to product model information being in the build – Apple always wanting to ‘make a splash’ when they launch products. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly…

  • Back to work tomorrow.

    I had a good night sleep but I’m still feeling sick with a sore throat and coughing but not sick enough to take time off from work so I’ve given my boss a heads up that I’ll be working from home all this week. I’ve been making sure this week that I’ve been having a…
