  • 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…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    Today was a pretty quiet day – I went to bed last night at around 2am and then woke up at around 1pm on Tuesday – a solid whole night of sleep and felt pretty good when I woke up. I then headed to mum’s for dinner and picked up a few items from the…

  • So what was it all for in the end?

    Well, it appears that eight Democrats collapsed like a cheap lawn chair and agreed to reopen government with the last-minute agreement – and the base is livid. What was the shutdown for if you’re not going to force the Republican part to either a) force the Republicans to make a compromise by reversing the cuts…

  • Early finish tomorrow.

    Final day of the week on Sunday with the added benefit that due to doing 2 1/2 hours worth of work on Friday I get to go home early on Sunday so I’ll be knocking off at 7:30pm. I’m probably going to head down to the supermarket afterwork because I need to purchase some butter…
