Dear Journal, Dizzy. Two damn days of dizziness. I learned the Epley Manoeuvre today, it's offered little relief. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day so I can get to working again. Predator is on "old school" TV tonight. It's nice sometimes to let yourself go to the simplicity that is TV. I didn't get a [...]
Tribe Profile: Fiona of sunraintea.com
The unique part about the tribe we have here is that I personally try and aim at getting to know each and every person on some level. The day will come where that may pose a little challenging, but while it can be done with a level of depth I try and work hard to [...]
Saturday, 18th August 2018
Dear Journal, Today I painted my son's room. It's the first time I've ever painted 'our' own house, so it was nice. The colour was Ironstone. I cut the edges first, but accidentally went across the wall that was meant to be left blank. As it turns out, I'm going to paint that last wall [...]

I see you on Instagram and twitter, like used car salesmen, pushing to get those last 7 followers to get you to 700. Then it's back to the [...]
Dear Diary, Netflix and Chill’
Dear Diary, Recently started watching "Designated Survivor" on @netflixanz. It's meant I've had a few late nights over the weekend. After a needed Sunday afternoon nap I've got a pot of this brewing stovetop. Arguably the purest form of coffee in my opinion. Sweetened with one sugar, it is smooth, round and embodies the flavour [...]
July Favourites
The middle of the month has arrived and by now I've got a pretty good grasp on what the current favourites for the month of July are. This month has been an interesting one as far as work-life balance is concerned, or my lack-thereof rather. Spending time on twitter has shown me that it's quite [...]
About: Blog Mission & Change Statement
Grab a seat, I've already started boiling the water for your cup of coffee, just in case you happened to stop by. Humbled. That's the first thing worth getting off my chest. Of all the places online you could be, you're here. I feel humility with that. Thank you. You've probably seen the blog title [...]
