  • 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…

  • 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…

  • It was a good day today.

    I woke up this morning and spent my day just relaxing around the home watching some YouTube videos on the television and then I decided to head down the road to do some grocery shopping. While I was down there I needed to pick up some ointment because I have dry cracking heels (I’ve applied…

  • Coming to the end of the week.

    Woke up this morning and went for a 10km walk and it felt really good – the weather was mild, the sun was out but it wasn’t intense so I enjoyed the warmth and there were plenty of other people out also enjoying the experience. On Sunday I’m looking forward to a good walk but…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I decided to sleep in today because wanted to catch up on sleep but that didn’t sotp me from getting a 8km power walk in – around 2pm I went for an 8km walk, really got my heart rate up there and completed the whole set it around 1 hour and 17 minutes. At the…

  • Conspiracy theories are not a short cut to redeeming yourself.

    With parts of the MAGA movement souring on Trump, or at least the online commentariat, there has emerged a conspiracy theory regarding the two assassination attempts on Trump. For the record, I don’t what to see Trump assassinated and that has nothing to do with something noble or altruistic but rather the fact that I…

  • A very old evening tonight.

    After having many days of wind and rain there is now a suddenly drop in temperature down to 6 degrees celsius with the temperature in Lower Hutt reported as feeling as though it was 4 degrees celsius. For dinner I had some steamed vegetables and fish with hollandaise sauce over the top that I had…

  • Raining with a cold snap.

    With how horrible the weather is I decided to stay and work at home instead and I’ll do the same on Thursday as well because the temperature is dropping with more rain on the way. The forecast on the Metservice website says the weather could improve on Friday onwards but the problem is that the…

  • Things are hopefully getting back to normal.

    Over the last 3-4 days the weather has been crazy in the Wellington region – even in Lower Hutt there has been non-stop raining, my drive way was flooded but I’m happy that my house is raised rather than the new style ‘slab on the ground’ types’ that get built these days. It is still…
