  • What is old is new again.

    I find it interesting how there was first the trend of vinyl returning then tape and how CDs are making a comeback as people realise that paying to hear the same music over and over again isn’t a smart way to spend money. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up seeing a return of…

  • A good day at work.

    Finished work tonight and the weather was looking pretty lousy so I decided to settle down with a bowl of pumpkin soup and fresh ciabatta bread with garlic butter and chilli flakes. It was a tasty dinner and filling then I finished it off with some blueberries for desert. I’m looking forward to my weekend…

  • A good work out tonight.

    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…

  • An okay day today.

    Started work today, had a one on one to discuss the new year, a catch up on how things have been and organising the days I’ll come into the office now that the powers that be have decided hybrid working is now the ‘in thing’ to do. I’ll pop in on Wednesday and Thursday although…

  • Back to the office next week.

    After enjoying being able to work from home 5 days a week the powers that be have decided that the organisation needs to move to a hybrid model of working in the office two days a week. I’ve decided to go in on Wednesday and Thursday but if there is rail maintenance on those days…

  • Heading off to sleep.

    Getting ready to head off to sleep. At the moment I am watching season 2 of Fallout and Season 1 of Pluribus but at the moment I am catching up on news because as frustrating as the world can be the only thing more frustrating is being completely oblivious to what is happening. Having a…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a nice sleep in this morning, woke up, had breakfast then pottered around the house doing the usual house keeping such as washing down the outside of the house. Around 3:00pm the courier dropped off the clothes I ordered online – everything fits perfectly. When I buy clothes from overseas what I do…

  • A productive day to day.

    I woke up this morning after having a great night sleep, mum came over to help fix up the shed with the focus being around getting the door back up, getting the walls back into place because they had gotten all bent out of shape plus some weeding around the place. I was going to…

  • No, investors aren’t rational actors.

    One of the biggest myths perpetuated by the neoliberal orthodoxy is the idea that markets are rational because those participating in the market are motivated by rational self interest. If that orthodoxy was real rather than being an article of faith akin to some sort of religious conviction then there wouldn’t be crashes on a…

  • The third day completed, feeling good.

    I’m on my third day and stuck to my plan for the day and I have to admit the lazy side of my is, “oh god, do I have to keep doing this” but I know that after I’ve done this for a month that it’ll become something that I do without even thinking about…
