  • The draft folder keeps filling up.

    Work was so-so today but it felt good to get to the end of the day and then go for my nightly walk – fresh air and enjoying the warmer temperature where hopefully I’ll be able to go for a walk without having to wear a hoodie to keep warm. I logged into WordPress to…

  • Another week, another update.

    Woke up this morning after a good night sleep, had my breakfast and then checked for software updates for Chrome – Chrome 142 has been released and with that after the update was installed I then checked for uBlock Origin Lite updates and the release of version 2025.1028.1744 was announced but that’ll appear in the…

  • It’s a chilly night.

    The combination of rain and wind has dropped the temperature back to winter levels with the temperature at the moment sitting at 8°C. The weather has been crazy over the last week but unfortunately next week on Tuesday I’ll need to pop into the office but I will get a free breakfast and lunch so…

  • Erratic weather today, climate change making the weather random?

    Today it has swung from one extreme to another, first it was fine and then it was heavy rain then the sun came out then it was heavy wind and rain. Funny enough, as all this was going along, I was watching a video on YouTube regarding el nino and how the usual cycle has…

  • End of the week.

    End of a long week and it couldn’t have come sooner. I clocked off from work and I decided that on my day off I’m going to have a lazy weekend with minimal effort on my part. I jumped onto Woolworths to order groceries for the coming week and then the next week so then…

  • Almost the end of the week.

    It’s almost the end of the week and I am looking to sleep in on Monday and then head down to the local dutch bakery for some egg bene and a cappuccino for brunch. I’ve been sticking to the meal routine, no snacks or eating in between meals, I’m hoping that that if I do…

  • Another day, another dollar.

    I’m happily relaxing after a busy day and the day started off well with confirmation that I’ve got 5 December off for my work Christmas party which avoids me having to finish late on Thursday, wake up early on Friday after barely having a decent night sleep and then by the time the party comes…

  • Raining and crazy weather.

    It has been another horrible day today so I decided to take the night off. I had a good day at work, stuck to my meal plan for today and counting my calories and with that I have really come to enjoy a mug of Earl Grey tea to warm me up when working at…

  • A good first day.

    A good first day to the reboot of my routine – I had my breakfast with the chia seed and unsweetened yoghurt and funny enough I didn’t miss the sweetness. I have a feeling that if I do it for a few weeks it’ll become the ‘new normal’ as it is embedded into my daily…

  • Another weekend ended too quickly.

    Back to work on Wednesday – the weekend always ends up finishing too soon but on the good side I did go grocery shopping and this week I decided to get unsweetened natural yoghurt to go with the chia seed breakfast along with some easy meals for lunch. Oh, and one thing I remembered to…
