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…

“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…

Still got a sore throat and I’ve lost my sense of smell and taste – I think I may have COVID but I’ll need to get a testing kit to see whether that is the case. I originally thought that maybe it was due to a cold or seasons changing but apparently it is quite…

Work today was so-so and I finished it up with an 11.6km walk tonight along with some free weights when I got home (on top of the ones I had done during my breaks while working from home). I’m looking forward to getting the week over and done with but on a good side I…

The day has been pretty good so far – the weather is nice with the temperature not too hot or cold which will make going for a walk after work a whole lot more enjoyable. I’ve been working my way through he speech that Marco Rubio gave at the Munich Security Conference and once I’ve…

Getting back to work on Wednesday after having a harrowing couple of days of wind, rain, more wind and more rain. I’ve had a look on the Metlink website to see whether the trains have been delayed or cancelled due to damage to the track and/or overhead power lines. It appears that everything is working…
