Lifestyle changes

The age of 40 clearly used to be the turning point on health many years ago, the old saying "life begins at 40" should of course have been "death begins at 40" but fortunately, in most developed nations, mortality rates in 40 have dropped hugely and the majority can now expect to enjoy most of …

Working at home

Every time I work at home, I make the same mistake: I forget to take breaks. I do not eat enough (not really a major loss for me) and I end up very stiff with my back hurting like hell from sitting in the same position for to long. I also often end up too …

Deadly grapefruit

I bought my evening meal from a Sainsbury’s last night on the way to my hotel. I picked up some grapefruit juice by mistake – I had intended to pick up orange, guess the boxes were close together. Wasn’t too fussed though as I like grapefruit juice. Whilst eating my food and enjoying the juice …

I had to take a day off sick yesterday, felt really rough and knew I would not be able to focus on work. My current client and project allows me to work at home on Fridays, which is great as firstly, you can generally get a lot more work done as you get fewer interruptions …

new specs

Had my friendly neighbourhood optician put some new lenses in my existing spectacle frames this evening.

No wonder I am on sick leave

I have a chest infection with asthma complications and have been told by my Doctor to stay off work and not to do any at home. It is surprising that I have lasted as long as I have given the kind of life I lead living in hotels, working long hours, eating badly and not exercising. It is also surprising that my family have not yet given up on me.

Driving Test

Well done to my eldest daughter (17) for passing her driving test first time. The examiner said that it was one of the best drives he had had for years. She passed with only three minors, one of which was a tactical choice (reversing around a corner: go wide, get a minor; but go narrow …

Endless bleeding

I called my wife as usual from my hotel in the evening after work to hear that my eldest daughter was having a strange experience. She had a very small cut on here arm – no idea what had caused it – that they could not get to stop bleeding. Given that they are both …
