Good morning. For those of us in the U.S., the weekend lives on, as it is the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday.

It's been a good one for me so far (the weekend and the day). Accomplishments, setbacks, and works-in-progress.

Day 19 for jr67 and others I could name, but I'll leave that to them if they so choose.

Happy MLK Day, and Happy Yesterday-Plus-1 one and all.

Monday morning check-in, getting ready for work. I feel worn out. Welp, the sooner I get going, the sooner I'll be back in bed.

Penguin awareness day? I'm sure that would make Burgess Meredith happy.

Thanks Andy and thanks for spotting that, it cheered me up after a long day plus I'm now catching up with my laundry and other chores (recycling day tomorrow)

Well done on staying sober Red.

I bought some of these at lunchtime today, Sugar Free Sweets - Hard Candy - they were pretty good too, they had a decent creamy taste. Only thing was I got charged £2.50 for the packet but looking online it seems they retail everywhere mostly at £1.99 - cheapest £1.65.

^ Sugar-free sweets often come with a caution against "excessive consumption"... Take care!

Nearly bedtime here. A few days of travelling with work in the next few days, 600km to be done in 2 days- I suppose the joys of sales!?

Yea, the travel does nothing for me anymore. But a couple of good accounts helps the miles, or kilometers, go a little easier.

A couple of pictures from the hike into the tararua ranges for my bday, we stayed in the hut that you see in one of the pics. These are not of Rivendell, I will post those later.
I am so thankful that I live in NZ, the native Bush is only something that can be understood once in it and photos can not do it justice, I have not experienced anything like it in other countries.. And the best thing, nothing in the Bush will get you lol

Indeed, I've done right on 500,000 km in 11 years in my job. Thankfully I can work from home 3 days a week now and visit clients for the other 2 then. Trust me, the novelty of staying in hotels wore off very quickly....
