Holiday summary (29th Sep 2022)

Aaahhhh. That is simply how I’m feeling right now after nearly a month away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Weekly Summary (6th June 2022)

My extended family departed back just this morning and with that ends a period of non-work joys.

Weekly Summary (6th March 2022)

After the work week, I slept at 10pm Friday night and woke up at 10am the next day. I normally can’t sleep in during the day but realised that apart from the day in Torquay, it had been a constant barrage of long hours the last few weeks. Totally accidentally as well! The last fortnight […]

Weekly summary (13th Feb 2022)

The bit of relative quiet from the state declared Code Brown (basically, health system overwhelmed so only Emergency cases considered) in Victoria is rapidly easing. It’s noticeably busier at work now and the phone calls are coming hard and fast about the upcoming weeks. This bit of spare time allowed me to look back at […]
