At the end of 2019 I wrote a self-assessment piece around my struggles to really zero in on what I wanted at the time. This one blog is by far my most popular, even 12 months on, it still has the highest hit count. If you want to revisit it, you can do so by…
Logos, Mailing Lists and boxes
There’s been much happening over the last week, aside from returning to work after a couple weeks off and then being sent back into lockdown (albeit only a 3-day local lockdown) due to a new strain if COVID arriving fresh from the UK. This week has all been about preparing for the year ahead by…
Welcome to 2021
Now that 2020 has made its undignified exit, it’s time to move onto planning for the coming year. While last year was full of ups and down, there were some good takeaways from it. I’ve made a lot of progress with my writing style; my fitness is by fair better and life is good. However,…
100. The End
And just like that we hit 100. Mission accomplished. Job done! Done and dusted. Etcetera. To be honest, I never thought I’d make it to 100 posts before the end of the year. Given my track record for the best part of the year, I always thought that I wouldn’t make it. But I have,…

97. The Pool
This afternoon we went swimming in a pool. It wasn’t a particularly hot day, but warm enough for a dip. And the pool in questions wasn’t ours, nor was it a community pool. It was our neighbours pool, who had allowed us to use it while they were away. This is not the first invite…
96. In Contrast
There are many things which are normal for me now that would have seemed completely foreign (and somewhat impossible) five years ago. Around this time in late 2015, we were living in Melbourne. I’d had enough of my current job and was on the cusp of accepting a new job offer. It wasn’t a promotion,…
95. A Very Merry Christmas
Well, I hope by now you’re past your Christmas Day festivities and reading this sometime after the actual day. Originally, I was never going to write a post on Christmas Day; but, as it stands, here I am. I’ve always felt that Christmas is a personal time and not something to be used to get…
94. Reppin’ the Six
As we sit on the eve on Christmas, my mind goes to those that, for one reason or another, can not be with their loved ones this year. Living the ADF life takes a toll on all of us, and some succumb to the darkness in their mind. It’s a sad, but true, fact of…
