  • Back to work on Friday.

    I’m feeling a whole lot better having a couple of days to rest and recuperate. The weather has been pretty lousy for the last couple of days, lots of wind and rain but hopefully it is the last bit of a nasty weather before spring comes around. I finished cleaning up around the house and…

  • Taking a day to recover.

    I decided to take a day off to recover and get back to my more energetic self – going to take it easy and relax. I woke up today, checked for updates and it appears that the October update for patch Tuesday will be next week however there was an update for Chrome which updated…

  • Feeling a bit lousy, might have tomorrow off.

    Been resting up but I’m feeling a bit run down and crappy – I tend to catch something right around when seasons change so I think what I’ll do is have a sleep and then see how I feel in the morning because sometimes a good night sleep can be the solution. I completed the…

  • Relaxing at home on a rainy night.

    Finished work tonight and I noticed it had started raining – basically it has been going on and off the whole night so I decided I’ll take the night off from going for a walk and instead chill out. Had some weird behaviour today with the work VPN crashing out and ended up going offline…

  • One more day.

    Finished work tonight, went for my nightly 11.6km walk and when I arrived home I decided to have some minestrone soup – Artisano make a good range of soups from the supermarket and they’re great to have in the fridge if one feels the need for something to eat with minimum fuss and bother. I’ve…

  • Nights are getting warmer.

    Went for my nightly walk and tonight I cracked a sweat for the first time given how cold it has been for the last few months I found that even when wearing a sweatshirt I still didn’t get hot enough to start sweating when on a walk. Getting closure to summer so I’ll finally give…

  • Getting closer to spring.

    Finished work tonight at 10pm and went for my walk – temperature outside was 13°C so it wasn’t uncomfortably cold and apart from a bit of drizzle I went for a 17.4km walk tonight where I completed it in around 2 hours and 40 minutes. I like to keep track of the speed I walk…

  • Not today Satan.

    Work today was uneventful apart from one particular customer who refused to listen to an explanation I gave – at some point you have to say ‘not today satan’ and end the call. If you’re unable to accept something after having explained to you 3 times then the problem can be found in the mirror…

  • Raining then not raining then raining again.

    Another day in paradise – working from home then as I am able to finish my shift it starts raining then it stops then it starts again and then it stops. Long story short I decided I wasn’t going to go for a walk and tempt fate so I decided to stay at home and…

  • An interesting day to day.

    Rather uneventful day at work followed by a brisk walk – I decided to have a shorter walk tonight because I wasn’t in the mood for a longer one but I always like to make sure that I get out of the house and get some exercise after sitting on my backside all day. Anyway,…
