What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

Beer & burger

 I'm not really into those flash restaurants, just a good beer and burger is enough for me.


I really wanted another excuse to wear my stocking (Kmart silky sheer stay up for $7), I just love the feel. It's funny that men think you wear a certain thing to influence a man into certain action, but really women wear stuff to suit themselves most often.

Been house sitting in Wellington

It's been 5 days of relaxing and touring with the wife while in Wellington looking after a house with dogs.

It was a much needed break from the mundane grind (re plastered a basement wall since getting back to Auckland, it was stripped to fit a waterproof membrane on the retaining wall behind it).

I did manage to get a bit of shopping done and after returning I even managed a dinner with Jan.

Excuse the photos, phone camera was playing up

Looks like this is my new normal

Go to work, go home, sleep, go to work, go home ..repeat

The only break, is when I get half an hour for coffee or shopping (I really do need new clothes) or an hour for dinner.

I take that back, I've joined a gym and done 3 sessions so far, regaining quite a bit of strength after Covid and I do manage to get quite a bit of time for sailing
