I got my e-bike on Friday. Rode it on Sunday to check whether I still had bicycle muscle memory. Rode it to a relatives to have Christmas lunch. Misjudged stopping on the crest of a rise, missed my footing and fell. Got to Lunch, spent time with family. Rode home had shower to wipe the sweat off, which poured into the scrapes inducing muted grimacing...

I bought playing Starfield in Premium Early Access. Took a week off for it. I've been enjoying it immensely. I have three characters, the original male, a female for a situation test and as of this morning a Male Ronin Build. TBH I realised that the backgrounds and the prior career of the character have low impact on the characters, so it mostly doesn't mean...

One of my work positions is being a member of the Work Environmental Committee and one of the videos I created and edited was about that in the context of the office. So I researched and the information on lighting had some interesting points. The cost of turning an incandescent light on is much as being left on for a minute. A flourescent light takes...

I walked out of work today, having spent it doing Video Editing, work well outside of my expertise. As I looked towards the dormant volcano on the way to where I live, my heart lifted as it sometimes does with the thought "I'm home. Home! No longer in the Australian wastelands. Huzzah!". I've had those thought for some five years now. Home!

So I decided to turn them into a soup along with potatoes, brussel sprouts, onions and peas which turned out to be quite tasty and added three additional meals of soup. The...

There was a moment when I realised I'd made a critical mistake (In this case a minute into the walk home). It is/was raining so hard that it soaked my tousers in less than a minute and began pouring down them into my gumboots. I had the rain trousers in my bag but hadn't put them on. That being said the backpack got soaked too....

....but from looking up some data it's a Flu Variant, effectively determined by the colour of the Sputum which is apparently a green colour when Flu is involved. Of course I have a slight fever, a slight headache and cough congestion. I'm hoping it breaks soon.

.... and still is, but New Zealand was pretty successful in keeping it out until Omicron. The reasoning for NZ keeping it out and slowly lifting restrictions was due to the low ICU beds and competent nursing staff numbers.

Now I got my booster on Thursday. I had a fever Friday afternoon which broke overnight. Saturday night I developed a light cough which was aggravating...

I got into several games but the two of recent note are "No Mans Sky" and "Solasta: Crown of the Magister" Five years after the launch fiasco and constant work by the Devs, NMS has turned into a really good game. Solasta is a very good D&D experience though the COTM campaign isn't truly repeatable, which is a shame. Auckland has been in lockdown for...

Been keeping myself very occupied with gaming. Work, Sleep Eat, Game :D. I have a three quarter coat on order. Waiting for Cyberpunk 2020. Reading and then one of my favourite pieces of dance music came on. So I danced. The piece? "Tears in Rain". It's been too long. Fatigued but pleased.
