One of my favourite books in recent years is The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. He talks about simplifying your life and focusing more on living rather working.

Last month Ferbent and I celebrated the 10 year anniversary of our first meeting but today is the anniversary of our first proper date. Well, if you count going to the pub and drinking a few beers (which I haven’t drunk since, lol) a proper date. Any excuse to celebrate really!

We celebrated today by enjoying Pierre Marcolini chocolates
I also can’t believe that [...]

I do think New Year’s resolutions are kinda pointless because obviously you want to be working towards your goals all year round, not just starting January 1st. Having said that, there are a number of things I’m working on and plan to achieve sooner rather than later. Here’s a few of them:
Work less. For the [...]

December is a really quiet month for me, work wise. I’m actually kind of lost without any work to do I’ve seen seen 3 movies this week already and read 2 books but now I don’t know what to do.
I would have gone away earlier but F had a few dentist appointments so [...]
