Things seem to be easing up a bit, although that’s come with the mandatory mask-wearing. We’ve had very spring weather for the past week with some beautiful warm days and some days of constant rain. As I write this now, I can hear the rain hitting our AC unit – quite a comforting sound. Thinking back I don’t remember having such a distinct Spring season in NY.
Continue readingIt’s been over five and a bit weeks since the lockdown started and two weeks of self-isolating. With that we felt safe for a weekend trip to Long Island.
Continue readingThis week began with a bang, quite literally, as a big thunderstorm came over New York. Having my workspace and desk face out a window is nice and especially when you get dramatic weather. It’s always nice to be inside and look out during a thunderstorm but during these times there’s the added bonus of not feeling like you desperately want to be outside when it’s pelting it down with rain.

It was a chilly 40 degrees (just above freezing) in New York, winter coat, woolly hat and gloves weather. The good news: it was Presidents Day, a public holiday.

Being on the fourth US floor/third UK floor facing a large building I can’t see the street when sitting down. It’s like choosing a different seat in the office (sort of).

Today flew by with a tonne of meetings. Trying to make some changes to home office setup, namely ordered an adjustable standing desk and a balance board. Ways to avoid sitting still less. So used to walking from one corner of the office to the other to get to meetings. An 800 sq-ft apartment doesn’t take many steps to get around.
Continue readingMonday was one of the quietest days in a while. After the invigorating run on Sunday started to look for any budget home exercise equipment such as a treadmill or running machine. Wanted something that wasn’t too flimsy, but also easily storable and not something that would cost too much – are we going to use it after this over? I don’t know, probably not that much. But also, when is this over?
