  • Back to work and back in the office on Wednesday.

    Had a relaxing day today, slept in until around midday then pottered around the house watching some television episodes then for dinner I ordered a mixed grill salad from the local Turkish restaurant because I really wasn’t in the mood to do any cooking but wanted something that was healthy. I’ve got the rubbish out…

  • A relaxing day off and a hearty dinner.

    I had a good night sleep after going for that long walk on Sunday night, I woke up, went for a walk down to the local bakery to pick up some lunch. At the bakery I picked up a fresh roll and a chocolate caramel slice then asked back home to enjoy then for dinner…

  • The week is over.

    Finished work tonight and went for a walk – I decided to kick it up a notch and instead go for a 17.4km walk and I was able to get it down in around 2 hours and 40 minutes which is pretty quick when compared to the usual time of 1 hour and 50 minutes…

  • Feeling good, can’t wait for Sunday.

    End of my second week back at work and feeling good. I’m having a looking at ordering the Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds Wild God album after much procrastination along with maybe a few t-shirts I’m at it but it will be ordered through the UK store since there is a larger selection then…

  • A busy day, now at the half way point.

    A busy day to day but looking forward to the end of the shift. What amazes me are the number of people who ring up who normalised the idea that they’re helpless and their first port of call is to ring up for help rather than attempting to resolve the problem themselves. I can understand…

  • What is old is new again.

    I find it interesting how there was first the trend of vinyl returning then tape and how CDs are making a comeback as people realise that paying to hear the same music over and over again isn’t a smart way to spend money. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up seeing a return of…

  • A good day at work.

    Finished work tonight and the weather was looking pretty lousy so I decided to settle down with a bowl of pumpkin soup and fresh ciabatta bread with garlic butter and chilli flakes. It was a tasty dinner and filling then I finished it off with some blueberries for desert. I’m looking forward to my weekend…

  • A good work out tonight.

    Finished work tonight and I was keeping my eye on the weather the whole day and it was just my luck that the weather all fined up tonight so that I was able to go for my nightly walk. I’m in a calorie deficit so the body has to work harder to access that stored…

  • An okay day today.

    Started work today, had a one on one to discuss the new year, a catch up on how things have been and organising the days I’ll come into the office now that the powers that be have decided hybrid working is now the ‘in thing’ to do. I’ll pop in on Wednesday and Thursday although…

  • Back to the office next week.

    After enjoying being able to work from home 5 days a week the powers that be have decided that the organisation needs to move to a hybrid model of working in the office two days a week. I’ve decided to go in on Wednesday and Thursday but if there is rail maintenance on those days…
