  • A wonderful day with the family.

    I got up at 10am today and got ready to be picked up by mum and we spent the day with my sister, her partner and two kids. I made sure that I got the beer and wine out of the fridge for the presents and everyone was happy with what I bought. My sister…

  • Back to using WordPress.

    Today was rather quiet but I decided to use that time to go for a walk, tidy around the house and then head down to the supermarket to pick up some salad and chicken for dinner. After coming back home I put the chicken in the oven and while waiting I’m watching some YouTube videos…

  • Feeling good.

    I went down to the shops today to have a walk around, had aa coffee and a muffin, had a look at some of the specials and see if there was anything that looked interesting. I went for a good walk around along with walking down to Harvey Norman as well then back up to…

  • All required shopping has been done for the week.

    I got up this morning at around 10am then headed down to a cafe in Petone with mum for an eggs bene and a bowl of mochaccino and then I had a second one because why the heck no, life is too short not to have a treat on occasions. We then headed down to…

  • A couple of settings can make all the difference.

    So I’ve changed the setting on all of my devices to ‘reduced transparency’ then voila the performance improves, the stuttering on my tvOS device disappears – I don’t know what Apple did in terms of their liquid glass transparency but holy heck it must have had performance penalty. My Apple TV 4K was a bit…

  • Getting back into using MarsEdit.

    For a while now I’ve been using the web based interface however given that I have a copy of MarsEdit I thought I may as well give it a try again. The one benefit of having a native app is the ability to work offline. I’m going to give it ago and see how it…

  • Finally settled on a new theme.

    I’ve been spending a few days trying to find a fresh new look and I finally found one that is a good balance between simplicity so that the content is the focal point of the blog but not so simple that it looks boring. I was going to go for a dark theme but I…

  • Strange weather recently.

    We’re meant to be moving into summer and yet the weather has been strange recently. I went for a small walk around the block to get some fresh air then headed down the road to have a look around at the mall. I’m still working through the templates on WordPress – the difficult balance of…

  • What a day, what a lovely day.

    Woke up this morning and it felt so good not having the anxiety of feeling that all I had was this day to enjoy and then back to work the next day. I hung out around home, enjoyed some cherries I bought on Monday on special which were a lot more appetising than the strawberries…

  • What a wonderful day.

    I had a wonderful day today, went for a walk down to the local cafe, grabbed brunch then a few treats afterwards then walked back home while taking my time to enjoy the wonderful weather. It is something I need to do more often because I have a tendency to complain about the bad weather…
