  • End of another week, beginning of a new one.

    Woke up this morning and I feel really good knowing it is the end of the week, a couple of weeks away from my birthday with 4 days off and then after that I’ve got a week off so I can follow along with the WWDC conference. The big question with the WWDC conference is…

  • End of another week.

    Woke up this morning and went for my walk and having realised how quickly the temperature has dropped at night I am happy that I am going for a walk during the day because at the time of writing my blog it has dropped down to 7°C outside. I’m going to hold off from turning…

  • Feels good working from home.

    Woke up this morning, did the usual thing I’ve been talking about about for the last couple of days then arrived home, had a quick breakfast, had a shower then got myself ready for a day of work. Just after I started I ended up getting a knock at the door by the courier delivering…

  • Working from home for the next three days.

    I woke up this morning, went for my 8km walk, had a shower then headed off to work – I decided to treat myself to a mexican black bean wrap for breakfast along with a flat white before work. Work today was rather uneventful and i was looking forward to getting it all finished and…

  • Start of a new week.

    Woke up this morning at 9:30am, headed out the door at 10am and went for my 8km walk – it felt good getting back into a routine again. I arrived back home and jumped onto my computer to see whether Google had release a Chrome update which they had – upgrading it from 148.0.7778.97 to…

  • An early night in bed, ready for a new week.

    I’ve had a productive day to day in finally getting a list of jobs done that I’ve been procrastinating over for quite some time. The first thing did was head down to mall to pick some long sleeve shirts and a pair of trousers – all the trousers I have so far are either grey,…

  • A productive day off from work.

    Woke up this morning, had some breakfast then I walked down to the Petone mail centre to pick up my passport. I had organised a replacement because it expired at the beginning of this year so I was surprised when on Friday last week there was a ‘card to collect’ left by the courier because…

  • End of the week.

    It felt good being able to finish work tonight at 8pm where I was able to pack up, throw on a coat then head down to the supermarket to pick up a few things for dinner – pumpkin soup with fresh bread and some garlic butter. I finished that off with a fresh fruit salad…

  • Things are going well.

    Second day back at work and I am feeling good – worked two extra hours tonight so on Sunday I can finish two hours early. I was able to get a whole lot of work out of the way in the last couple of hours – processing a whole lot of paperwork so when I…

  • A good first day back at work.

    I had a good first day back at work – I got up earlier than expected but because it was raining I stayed inside, watched some YouTube videos and did some free weights. It looks like things will fine up on Sunday but I’ll see how things work out. I’ve been working around the house…
