tired….

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

It’s never a good idea to start the day on less than four and a half hours sleep. My body aches all over and yet, here I am; sat at work – updating this blog during a vdu break (I know… not technically a vdu break if I am still at the PC huh)

meh…

I am actually looking forward to the weekend and next week as I get a week off work yay!!! Time to recharge the braincell(s)

I’ve got nothing in particular planned though I will be sorting and boxing bits ready for my apartment move coming up. Such is the life of a renter…

In other news our Autumn is shaping up to be hotter and dryer than our Summer?!! Go figure! The climate here is subtley different from the UK in that generally it is warmer but we certainly get our fair share of rain and wind.

This Valentines Day just gone I got Rachael a potted Orchid which looks amazing! Just hope it lasts for more than a month, hardy little things though so i am hopeful…

During my time off I’ll also be doing a bit of work on my website(s) as I have a Reiki website and a recipe website sat in the wings waiting for a little bit of tlc…

Anyways s’pose I ought to return to my actual work, just needed a bit of a distraction to jolt my braincell(s) out of apathy…. laters…

First Post of a New Year…

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Well, it’s been an interesting Christmas and New Year (albeit a little quieter than past efforts); I tried to go whale watching in the South Island again this year and failed misreably. Apparently the sea was too rough (again)… so Rachael and I went exploring cave(s) instead…. just the one, but apparently home to the Tooth Faerie (who knew?!). We did some foal petting (i.e. being the first human contact for some very young horses) and some horse trekking.

That’s basically it for me, and now on with the New Year – as for resolutions my main one is to lose some weight as it has slowly crept up over the last couple of months which is never good. My current weight is at 101kg’s which although is still miles away from the 126kg’s I used to be, it’s still the wrong side of 100kg, my target is 90kg’s so that’s 11kg to lose. I can healthily lose about 5-6kg’s a month so theoretically I can be back to normal by March….. I’ve decided to start some swimming activities and walk a lot more (I simply don’t ‘do’ gyms) than usual and also reduce my alcohol intake a lot these measures alone should be sufficient to turn things around :)

If I had the space and was allowed to I’d get a pet dog, to help with my exercise regime. I guess all I need to do, is make some new exercise activities a habit, and the rest becomes easy right? I mean diet wise I always eat fresh fruit and veg, although I could drink more water…

sigh….

Happy New Year!!!

Oh the memories?!!

More or less this time FIVE YEARS AGO! I posted this :

Well – all done with the band now, and for the first time in the history of me I have got all my Crimbo shopping done….maybe it’s cos I am such a Freek latley?? I have also just dyed my hair (what little I have back to blonde) it’s been about ten or so years since I was this drastic but I felt like a real change for the New Year!! Watch this Space for a piccy

In a stroke of mild irony; today is the day that my “missus” dyes ‘her’ hair in a wee experiment called “coolness” inspired in part perhaps by Manga/Anime/Cosplay etc…

This is shaping up to be a fine and entertaining Yule Season :D
