Hoorah cracked 1000m in elevation this week. Been a while. I only did a couple runs, but today was absolutely fab. Such a kick for the mojo. I went up Bush Creek track from Arrowtown, and back along the goat tracks along the ridge. It was a good to be on some goat tracks again. How I like my routes. Said hello to some old mates.

🫂 Had some not-great family and friend news this week. Both very serious. Been processing. Reminder that life is short, make the most of it, live with integrity. Integrity - such a big word. Always wanted to dive deep into that one.

🧠 Brain farting - Been pondering why I do things lately. I've come to no conclusions. Like, why do I want to run up a mountain, code a webpage, chase some career? There's so many values, experiences, and environment that are shifting constantly, forming some alignment that ignites a spark to take action. Honestly, I just think I take the path of least resistance a lot of the time. But that word resistance - that is a form of power yeah? What forms that resistance? Fear? To not run up that mountain, not code a webpage, not change my career... Am I afraid of not accomplishing something? I'm not sure sometimes I'm taking good control of my own decisions... rather I just do what is expected of the people and society around me. But I've formed that expectation. There really is none. There must be some of my own values surely making me, me. I don't know. I think a dive back into GTD horizons are calling.

🏢 Work - I worked 6 days this week. Did some KNX programming at the bosses house on Saturday so he could give me a bit more undivided attention. I appreciated that. Feel like I understand the KNX world a bit better between hardware and bits & bytes transmissions. Earlier in the week, after doing a couple of solo jobs, I really felt like I've got more comfortable on the tools. I managed a few tricky jobs unsupported.

♳ It's still Plastic Free July. This week I made a Magic Bean Cake to replace some plastic-packaged snacks this week at work. It is so delicious it may not actually make it to work!

🩸 Health - I started to feel a bit sick early in the week, so on Monday/Tuedsay I crashed super early, and with a few paracetamols, I think did the job. I've continued with some anti-inflammatories for my arm circulation issues, which I think is helping. I've just switched to a lower dosage so we'll see how that pans out. I continue with stretching and strengthening exercises (though knocked off only 2 this week) which I know are really helping too.

💻 Website - I'm mucking around with a new site - tools.zkbro.com - to track a bunch of things I own or use in my life, like the multimeter I bought this week.

📺 Watched some rugby. Really enjoying it again. All Blacks vs France, and AUNZ vs British Lions.

📚 Reading The Good Internet magazine - Like the actual physical copy. It arrived yesterday and I think it has reignited my love for magazines. I'm probably going to splurge a bit on similar ones now. Looking at you Internet Phone Book.

🎧 Listening to... BEAT TAPE 37 by your best friend jippy right now - Can't remember how I found it, but it's absolute chill.
