It’s been a week of chores more than anything else. These weeks come by once in a while where all the piled up things eventually topple so you have no way NOT to do what you had been putting off. In our case, it was moving more and more things into the new apartment. That’s […]
It’s only February and I’m already finding the weeks are starting to blur. I literally had to look at my calendar to see what I’d been up to since the last email! Maybe it’s just old age. This week has been a more relaxing one since I kept it intentionally light after all the coughing/chest […]
Since the last newsletter, it has been an avalanche of activity at my end. Literally a few hours after writing that, I was watching the fireworks, then packing, then flying to Norfolk, then starting work, then fielding what I thought was a scam call, then hopping over to Singapore and SO much more… New Years […]
The end of year rush is in full swing. I’m writing this in between cases while were waiting for patients to come from the wards or be admitted. If I seem to jump around a bit, that’s why! This week has been the “right” kind of busy: I’ve had fun lists with friends that have […]
This is probably the first newsletter on a Sunday in a while! It’s been a very social weekend with a BBQ at my place yesterday. Most of the week not spent working was trying to figure out the guests/dietary requirements/logistics and shopping. Pre pandemic, I was managing to do 2-3 of these a year and […]
This week can simply be summarised by the word “jetlag”. If it wasn’t clear to me that I’m no longer a spring chicken then the sheer amount of time it’s taking to recover from flights is a good reminder for the self! There’s been some unexpected work hiccups but overall, back to being in the […]
This is my first time in Texas and I really didn’t know what to expect. I’ve moved to not really looking up what a place has to offer (apart from the basic maps, directions, safety info) so that I can kinda wander and get a feel for the place before looking up the Insta-famous locations. […]
Random snippets 2022-11-09 Was genuinely surprised that people noticed the email missing from their inboxes. I mean I do subscribe to regular newsletters too but takes me a while to notice if one hasn’t been there for a while. That was a nice surprise 2022-11-11 This is one of the few protected afternoons I have […]
This week felt like I had gone back and never had a break at all. Good thing that my normal cadence of travel is back and I’ll be away again in just over a week. Also, some flight credits were expiring so I have even planned out my new years trip! I’ve realised that having […]
Random snippets 2022-10-25 It’s the day after on-call. It wasn’t even that late a finish but it took me most of the day to recover. I really am getting too old for this! The Tesla needed servicing and I needed to catch up on paperwork. I was hoping to get cracking on a programming project […]
