  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I decided to sleep in today because wanted to catch up on sleep but that didn’t sotp me from getting a 8km power walk in – around 2pm I went for an 8km walk, really got my heart rate up there and completed the whole set it around 1 hour and 17 minutes. At the…

  • Embracing the Samsung ecosystem.

    A bit of a background is that I upgraded my television that I had for over 12 years to a nice new 65inch Samsung television and part of that, when you setup the television, is logging into the Samsung Cloud because the television also acts as a hub for your devices such as security cameras…

  • Start of a new week.

    After having a nasty week of bad weather it is good to see the start of a new week which will mean geting back into a routine again – I’ve set my alarm and I know it’ll be difficult for the first couple of days but getting into a good routine will mean that everything…

  • One more day to go, feeling better.

    Had a good day to day apart from the first customer being one of those people who need help but aren’t willing to help themselves – you can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink. The one thing I learned, don’t let them get under your skin, advise the customer…

  • A productive day, looking forward to Saturday.

    I had a productive day today – not too busy which meant I was able to catch up on some paper work, some training modules I needed to get finished by May so I am now al up to date. I’ve been keeping the heater going during the day because the weather has once again…

  • A very old evening tonight.

    After having many days of wind and rain there is now a suddenly drop in temperature down to 6 degrees celsius with the temperature in Lower Hutt reported as feeling as though it was 4 degrees celsius. For dinner I had some steamed vegetables and fish with hollandaise sauce over the top that I had…

  • Raining with a cold snap.

    With how horrible the weather is I decided to stay and work at home instead and I’ll do the same on Thursday as well because the temperature is dropping with more rain on the way. The forecast on the Metservice website says the weather could improve on Friday onwards but the problem is that the…

  • Things are hopefully getting back to normal.

    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…

  • Keeping safe inside.

    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.…

  • A good day at work.

    Today was a good day at work, nothing out of the ordinary but for some reason I was feeling some good vibes throughout the day – I think it is due in part that the number of customers were regular but not overwhelming so that there is sufficient enough of a gap between serving one…
