  • Tomorrow off from work, getting closer to annual leave.

    Today was rather uneventful, had some good calls although I had a few who wanted to talk to the supervisor – nothing I could do and the call was unrelated to me. It is funny how sometimes you can have a quiet day then suddenly a day filled with people wanting to speak to a…

  • Back into a good routine.

    Finished work today and although the weather was looking pretty lousy I was able to squeeze in an 11.6km walk even with the drizzle. After coming back home, I grabbed a warm drink, showered then jumped into bed to watch a few YouTube videos and just as I did that I noticed that it started…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a quiet day at home today – went for a walk around the block, sent off a the Google Streamer I sold online via courier as an overnight (it is easier for me to courier it than for the buyer to pick it up or me drop it off even though we’re in…

  • Relaxing at home. Taking it one day at a time.

    On the road to recovery by spending today at home and while at home I was watching a great interview over on YouTube – it is great to see an ecosystem that is building particularly when it comes to one with centre left to left wing unafraid of calling a spade a spade vs in…

  • A day off from work.

    Woke up today with stomach cramps and felt under the weather so I decided to have the day off, resting in bed, drinking plenty of water to keep hydrated. I’ll need to have a good night sleep and see how things work out tomorrow but depending on what happens I’ll make the decision when I…

  • A really good start to the weekend.

    I went to sleep last night, slept in until around 12 noon, woke up, had something to eat for lunch then headed down the road to pick up a few essentials and then got in contact with mum regarding what was happening. Had a chat with mum and it turns out that my sister had…

  • Back into the weekend.

    The weekend has finally arrived – finished work today then went for my nightly walk and picked a couple of sandwiches for dinner then came back home, watched some videos while eating dinner. It was a long week but I think this coming week will be a lot easier – getting back into the routine…

  • Another weekend gone too quickly.

    Back to work tomorrow – the weekend always ends up finishing too quickly but on a good side I did turn it into a productive time off. On Monday I walked down to the local bakery for some eggs bene with salmon and spinach for brunch, picked up a few sweet treats from the display…

  • A productive day today.

    I woke up this morning, had a coffee then jumped into the shower, got dressed then walked down to the local cafe for an eggs bene with smoked salmon and spinach along with a bowl of mocaccino. After the meal I then grabbed a couple of items from the display cabinet of slices then headed…

  • When you stand for nothing this is what happens.

    Yes, it is possible to have a big tent party that is so big that ultimately it stands for nothing and then collapses under it’s own weight and yes, having a degree of ideological boundaries being set is required because if there is no philosophy that binds the party together then you end up with…
