  • Over the last 3-4 days the weather has been crazy in the Wellington region – even in Lower Hutt there has been non-stop raining, my drive way was flooded but I’m happy that my house is raised rather than the new style ‘slab on the ground’ types’ that get built these days. It is still…

  • In the Wellington region the weather has gone crazy over the last few days with a lot of very serious flooding in Wellington suburbs with the Hutt Valley (at least Lower Hutt) not too badly hit although the Hutt River is getting pretty high as you get closer to Silverstream and heading into Upper Hutt.…

  • Last week I started getting up on Wednesday and Thursday at 9:45am and on the other days at 10:45 but this week I’m getting up 15 minutes earlier so then I have my alarm go off at 9:30am and 10;30am which gives me 15-20 minutes or so to get up, have a drink of water,…

  • I woke up this morning and went for a walk – 6km, I really wanted to go for an 8km but I was sweating big time with the heat and humidity being uncomfortable but stuck to it so then at least I would get a 6km walk in before work. As for work during the…

  • The end of the week couldn’t come soon enough but I’m now relaxing on my bed with my laptop updating my blog. The weather was looking a bit overcast so I still go out of bed today but instead I spent the morning tidying up around the house, hoovering the floors, dusting, hanging up clothes…

  • At the half way point and looking forward to finishing up for the day. I’ve been following through some interesting videos of people who claimed that Trump was the pro-peace candidate are suddenly having a moment when they realised they made a really foolish decision. Unfortunately there is a human toll being paid because of…

  • I was watching the following video and thought about it in context to the post I made before entitled ‘I’m sorry, I don’t believe they’ve changed’ (link) that I made a few days ago where I pointed out that I don’t believe that the videos of people regretting their vote will actually translate into a…

  • I finished watching the following video – I can’t help but get the feeling that a lot of FAFO content is hopium for non-MAGA to believe that there will be this giant ‘ah-ha moment’ where those who voted for MAGA will realise how wrong they were and will become Democrats. I’m sorry but I don’t…
