It has been ages since I’ve been back in the office and the first day back feels really good – free coffee, plenty of fresh fruit to snack on for morning tea and afternoon tea. I’m going to have a quiet night tonight rather than going for a walk but I’ll go for one tomorrow…

I finished watching the first season of Pluribus and I can’t help but get ‘The Borg’ vibes from the whole way in which individuality disappears, it also gives MAGA cult vibes of how eventually MAGA types eventually end up repeating something they heard online without consciously thinking about what they’re saying.

We saw this in the first term…

Just before I head off to sleep, the end of the year draws near and I look back at what has happened throughout the year, I have to admit that personally I’ve had a good year getting closer to my health goals but that being said it hasn’t been a great year outside of that…

Today was productive, after getting all that I needed at Bunnings and The Warehouse I popped into the local Pak ‘n Save to pick up some shopping (chicken wings, salad and a few other bits and pieces) and I also stocked up on some Pepsi Max 2L that was on special – take advantage of…

Normally over the festive season we don’t give presents to each other but my sister and her partner decide to get something for me so what I decided to do is get something for them along with something for mum as well. I didn’t go overboard but each of them were something unique that I’m…
