  • Keeping safe inside.

    In the Wellington region the weather has gone crazy over the last few days with a lot of very serious flooding in Wellington suburbs with the Hutt Valley (at least Lower Hutt) not too badly hit although the Hutt River is getting pretty high as you get closer to Silverstream and heading into Upper Hutt.…

  • Working from home on Friday.

    After travelling into town to work for the two days in the office it makes the three days where I can work from home all the more enjoyable. I’ve got my alarm set for 10:45am where I’ll get up an go for my daily walk – I am wearing my cross country shoes because the…

  • A good day at work.

    I woke up this morning at around 9:30am although I laid in bed hoping that the 30 minutes before the alarm went off would last as long as possible but I had to face reality and get out of bed then get ready to start the day with a walk. Although I came back with…

  • End of the week.

    The end of the week couldn’t come soon enough but I’m now relaxing on my bed with my laptop updating my blog. The weather was looking a bit overcast so I still go out of bed today but instead I spent the morning tidying up around the house, hoovering the floors, dusting, hanging up clothes…

  • Almost there.

    At the half way point and looking forward to finishing up for the day. I’ve been following through some interesting videos of people who claimed that Trump was the pro-peace candidate are suddenly having a moment when they realised they made a really foolish decision. Unfortunately there is a human toll being paid because of…

  • I’ll put this under the title of ‘a penny for your thoughts’:

    I was watching the following video and thought about it in context to the post I made before entitled ‘I’m sorry, I don’t believe they’ve changed’ (link) that I made a few days ago where I pointed out that I don’t believe that the videos of people regretting their vote will actually translate into a…

  • I’m sorry, I don’t believe they’ve changed.

    I finished watching the following video – I can’t help but get the feeling that a lot of FAFO content is hopium for non-MAGA to believe that there will be this giant ‘ah-ha moment’ where those who voted for MAGA will realise how wrong they were and will become Democrats. I’m sorry but I don’t…

  • Returning to work.

    Getting ready to go back to working, did some washing however I couldn’t go for a walk today because I have sore feed – there is a crack at at the back of my heel and it hurts when walking on it, the skin is dry and cracking so I wonder if that has something…

  • Controlling the narrative.

    “The first casualty of war is the truth” It is commonly said that the first victim of war is the truth and something that the neoconservatives (or what remains of them now) have learned from the collapse of support for the Vietnam War and the second war in Iraq is that if you don’t control…

  • And it continues.

    I was watching a video from ‘Amanpour & Co’ on YouTube where David Frum was interviewed regarding the recent military operations being carried out by Israel and the United States: I have to prefix this that I am not a fan of the Iranian regime nor am I a supportive of the military operations taking…
