  • Another weekend gone too quickly.

    Back to work tomorrow – the weekend always ends up finishing too quickly but on a good side I did turn it into a productive time off. On Monday I walked down to the local bakery for some eggs bene with salmon and spinach for brunch, picked up a few sweet treats from the display…

  • A productive day today.

    I woke up this morning, had a coffee then jumped into the shower, got dressed then walked down to the local cafe for an eggs bene with smoked salmon and spinach along with a bowl of mocaccino. After the meal I then grabbed a couple of items from the display cabinet of slices then headed…

  • Bring on the weekend.

    Another uneventful day at work that has come and gone – I’m happy that it is all over with and I finished it off with a cheese and onion sandwich along with an egg salad sandwich. I jumped into bed, completed NYT Connections and Wordle then watched a few YouTube videos about various political topics.…

  • I think Saturday will be night off.

    The combination of drunk people stumbling home from the local pub and people letting of fireworks I decided to have a quiet night in and then go for a walk Sunday night when things are a little bit quieter. On a good side I finally found that annoying soft drink can that was being blowing…

  • Second day getting back on track.

    Second day getting back on track – went for a walk tonight, set a goal of completing it in under 2 hours and I arrived back home in 1 hour and 50 minutes. I like to set a goal for myself so then I keep up a good pace and when I get home I…

  • Back into the swing of things.

    I finally got motivated to get back into going for a walk – first day back after a week of not exercising and I was expecting the worst but actually I came back, completed the 11.6km in under 2 hours and I don’t feel sore or stiff which is a good sign. I was expecting…

  • End of the first day.

    Well, I was able to finish an hour early which was nice but I was hoping to be able to go for a walk tonight, getting back into a good routine, but alas it is raining outside. On a good side though I stuck to my diet plan for today so it isn’t as though…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    Today was a pretty quiet day – I went to bed last night at around 2am and then woke up at around 1pm on Tuesday – a solid whole night of sleep and felt pretty good when I woke up. I then headed to mum’s for dinner and picked up a few items from the…

  • So what was it all for in the end?

    Well, it appears that eight Democrats collapsed like a cheap lawn chair and agreed to reopen government with the last-minute agreement – and the base is livid. What was the shutdown for if you’re not going to force the Republican part to either a) force the Republicans to make a compromise by reversing the cuts…

  • Thank goodness the weekend has started.

    Finished work early tonight at 7:30pm then I walked down to the supermarket and back again – there is a bus service but I would have had to wait as long as it took to walk down to the supermarket so I thought I may as well get back into a good routine by walking…
