  • Why are people surprised. Republicans do what Republicans do.

    Well, the Trump administration has released some of the Epstein file and just as I supected they redacted a 100+ pages of the file resulting in next to nothing useful being released. Why aren’t I surprised? The moment I heard that the bill they passed included provisions regarding the ability to redact parts of the…

  • MAGA voters leaving MAGA and rebranding themselves as Republican.

    I’ve had a theory running through my head and I’ve touched on the theory in the past but I’ve never really gone into it in great detail. The reason I bring this is up is because of the recent news story regarding Susie Wiles and the inside workings of Whitehouse (link). My theory goes like…

  • Finally settled on a new theme.

    I’ve been spending a few days trying to find a fresh new look and I finally found one that is a good balance between simplicity so that the content is the focal point of the blog but not so simple that it looks boring. I was going to go for a dark theme but I…

  • Strange weather recently.

    We’re meant to be moving into summer and yet the weather has been strange recently. I went for a small walk around the block to get some fresh air then headed down the road to have a look around at the mall. I’m still working through the templates on WordPress – the difficult balance of…

  • Let the annual leave begin.

    Finished work tonight and it never felt so good knowing that for the next two weeks off I have no responsibilities other than to take care of myself. I put the first load of washing on then went for a relaxing walk tonight around the block, came back, put the washing out, had a shower,…

  • Two days to go.

    It is so close to the end of the week, I can hardly wait for my annual leave to begin. Tonight I had a small walk then had a lite meal of some fresh ciabatta bread and a vegetarian Mexican style chilli that has lots of fibre and protein which left me satisfied but not…

  • One week to go.

    Back to work on Wednesday and then in 5 days I’m finally off for 2 weeks – I’ve been looking forward to time off for the whole year and it is almost there. Tonight I went for a walk and the temperature outside was 18 degrees celsius – not too hot but warm enough to…

  • 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…
