Remote Workingworking From

Remote Working/Working from Home isn’t for everyone. It works for some people, some people make it work, and for the rest: it just doesn’t work.

I Have Not

I have not heard so many birds all chirping and singing for at least 15 years.

Helvetica Is Streaming

Helvetica is streaming for free this week. This and Restaurants on the Edge should have me covered for Sunday.

Made A Simple

Made a simple sour cream and smoked ham sandwich with the sourdough baguette. Incredible flavour, like nothing I’ve had before.

I Made My

I made my first ever sour dough bread, my first ever baguette, and I am very happy with how they turned out.

Started Making My

Started making my first sourdough starter on Monday. Stone ground whole wheat and stone ground whole sorghum. This is on day two. Today is day 3 of the process.

Spotted This Gorgeous

Spotted this gorgeous blooming tree on my morning walk. Anyone know what it is called?

February Was A

February was a very interesting month for me. My February challenge was a bunch of 15 minute exercise routines.

On Quitting

Modern society has placed an incredible amount of mental debt on thoughts surrounding “Quitting”. Quitting something largely has a negative connotation around it unless you’re quitting a bad habit of chain smoking or heavy drinking or the likes. 

Quitters have often been looked down upon. Joined the gym but quit a week later? Society dictates you should feel bad about it. Quit a relationship that wasn’t going anywhere or was outright unhealthy for you? You must have done something wrong. 

Well, f*** that. Quit, leave the past behind, walk all over it and kick it while it is down if you have to. Quit the bad relationships, quit the bad jobs and bad managers, quit the toxic workplaces. Your state of mind, your peace, you matter more to the people who truly care about you. Quitting something isn’t bad. It is at best a temporary setback, or an opportunity to start fresh. 

Be a quitter once in a while. It’ll do you good.
