A busy day to day but looking forward to the end of the shift. What amazes me are the number of people who ring up who normalised the idea that they’re helpless and their first port of call is to ring up for help rather than attempting to resolve the problem themselves. I can understand…

Finished work tonight and I was keeping my eye on the weather the whole day and it was just my luck that the weather all fined up tonight so that I was able to go for my nightly walk. I’m in a calorie deficit so the body has to work harder to access that stored…

Yeah, at the half way point of my shift – another 4 hours to go after my lunch break. In between serving customers I was watching a few videos and reading some articles regarding American women rejecting MAGA and Republican men and then MAGA and Republican men whining and complaining.

Had a relaxing day at home, tidying up around the place, had a chat to mum about the work I’d like to do around the yard – funny how as soon as I mentioned that it started spitting outside. Well, it wasn’t enough to stop me from going for a walk so I went for…

End of the first week of my leave and one thing I am also looking at is getting some barbells to do some light weights when I am at home – when watching some television being able to get some reps in which will help to tone and define my arms (the walk I try…
