  • 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…

  • An early start to Wednesday.

    Last week I started getting up on Wednesday and Thursday at 9:45am and on the other days at 10:45 but this week I’m getting up 15 minutes earlier so then I have my alarm go off at 9:30am and 10;30am which gives me 15-20 minutes or so to get up, have a drink of water,…

  • A productive weekend.

    The weekend has come to an end but looking back I’m pretty happy with how productive I have been over the couple of days off. I bought a new pair of shoes on Monday, picked up a television, sold off the Apple TV 4K and my old TV then purchases a Samsung smart watch. On…

  • A very productive Monday.

    Today was very productive for a Monday – I was a man with a plan and I stuck to it. I woke up at 10am, my sister picked me up so we could head down the road to pick up the television. It was a pretty decent sized television size – considerably bigger than my…

  • End of a week that dragged on, and start of a new one.

    Today was a very rainy day but I still got out of bed at 10:45am although I spent the time before work watching some news on YouTube and the ordered a few things I needed from the supermarket. I worked through the day but I swear the day just seemed to drag on and on…

  • Almost the end of the week.

    I woke up this morning and went for a walk – 6km, I really wanted to go for an 8km but I was sweating big time with the heat and humidity being uncomfortable but stuck to it so then at least I would get a 6km walk in before work. As for work during the…

  • Pondering.

    I woke up on Friday at 10:45am, left home for an 8km walk and arrived back home – absolutely drenched in sweat resulting in me having to have to have a shower. Normally after going for a walk I don’t feel yucky so I just start work, go for my after the work walk and…
