  • Rain, rain and more rain.

    It has been a rainy day today so I’ve spent my time at home relaxing, recovering, watching some videos and catching up on the news all while trying not to get too anxious about the world. For lunch/dinner tonight I had some chicken, steamed carrots with garlic butter and some fresh bread which was satisfying.…

  • End of the week, start of a new week.

    Work today was ok but it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing with a sore throat but one small blessing is the fact that I still had some fisherman’s friend sore throat lozenges – like Kurols Mentholated Pastilles, it has a strong menthol hit to them which does a good job dealing with a sore throat. I’ll…

  • One more day to go.

    Finished work tonight and then went for a 11.6km walk – having been lazy for the last couple of days it was good to get back into some exercise, enjoying fresh air and do a bit of looking around to see if anything had changed in the couple of empty plots of land that are…

  • Two more days to go.

    I had an enjoyable dinner tonight – a nice balance of fresh vegetables and meat made the meal satisfying but not to the point of feeling too full. It is the one thing that I do these days when I have a dinner delivered is making sure that the meal is balanced rather than refined…

  • Work went as well as to be expected.

    A rather uneventful day so far – I love working from home, being able to have a cup of coffee within arms reach or being able to sit in front of television when having dinner/lunch. I was reading through the Chrome platform status for the next version of Chrome (link) and there is some interesting…

  • Get ready for a whinge and a whine.

    Before I start, I’ll give an update on how things are going. Work was great today, went into the office, the weather was nice and there was a nice vibe to the office although I have to admit I’ve been a bit lazy recently so I need to get myself back into working a bit…

  • Back at work.

    First day back at work, had a one on one to track how things are progressing – I’d sooner get told amount something that needs improving rather than never getting the opportunity to fix something. The day wasn’t too busy so during the slow periods I focused on getting some house keeping out of the…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    Well, that was a weekend over pretty quickly – I wish that the weekend dragged on as long as the week day but alas here I am getting ready for work on Wednesday. I helped mum cleaning the drive way outside – unfortunately it hadn’t been done in a while so it was a matter…

  • Tuesday, a day to relax.

    I woke up this morning to a chime that my package was going to be delivered today and it was delivered in the afternoon. I love the colour of the hoodie and the t-shirt. The t-shirt has kind of a orange-brown kind of colour which goes well with the print – a bit of a…

  • A productive Monday.

    Monday was a productive day, I went for brunch and then helped mum clean up the rental property. My sister and partner had come over to do some deep cleaning and repairs at the flat and I came over to clean the outside of the house down, trim back the vine that had grown all…
