  • A good day today.

    I have a nice sleep in today and woke up just before midday, I had a quiet day at home and then headed down to the supermarket to pick up an HDMI cable for my Blu-Ray player that I picked up. After arriving home I had some soup and fresh bread for dinner, watched a…

  • The lounge is complete.

    The chair for my desk has arrived after ordering it in the early hours of Monday this week and it actually turned out to be smaller than expected which is a good thing. The website said it was 82cm wide, 82cm deep and the seat height is around 42cm high which left me concerned that…

  • The start of my weekend and holiday.

    Feels so good finishing up for the week knowing I’ve got not only Monday and Tuesday off for the weekend but also Wednesday and Thursday off as well. Today felt as if it dragged on and on as I thought about finally finishing for the week, trying to remind myself that every phone call pushes…

  • Almost there.

    Woke up this morning at 9:30am however I wasn’t in much of a hurry so I pottered around the house and then I went for my 8km walk. I arrived back home, had a shower then enjoyed a cup of coffee before work while catching up on some news. The weather was nice and I…

  • Busy but productive day.

    Woke up this morning, had a brisk walk before work and afterwards I had a cooling down before showering up and getting ready for the day. Today was fairly busy with events taking place that impact the industry i work in so there were plenty of things that needed to be done particularly when dealing…

  • The weekend has finally arrived.

  • One more day, getting closer to the holiday.

    Woke up this morning and had a cup of tea, relaxing before work. I’m really looking forward to the time over June with the first lot being the extra two days off over my birthday so I’ll have 1st-4th June off from work, then I come back to work for 3 days then the following…

  • A good day back at work.

    I got up at 9:30am this morning and went for a small walk however I decided to work from home because the trains at the time I logged off at would be replaced with buses – I’d sooner work from home and benefit from having some extra time that I can jump into bed and…

  • 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…
