It’s the post-Xmas come down and I’m totally here for it. I’m taking time for myself and focusing on resting and recharging. 2024 has been a surreal year. Surreal really is the best word for it. I didn’t really know what to expect when it started, except for one solid idea: 2024’s theme was going to be a Springtime for me.

This post has been seven years in the writing. Back in 2016, post-Xmas, I decided I was fat and unfit and had the inclination to do something about it. Some quick research led me to what was then named ‘Couch to 5K’. It’s an app designed to gradually take someone who’s sedentary and hasn’t run in their life, to being able to run a 5km distance. (It’s now called ‘5K Runner‘ by the way). Today, June 16th 2024, I completed the challenge. Yes, I want to die, but I’ve ticked this one off.

I have been an Apple fanboi since childhood. I remember, growing up in Palmerston North, spending as much time as I could annoying the one store that stocked Apple products. I haunted my friends house as his dad had an Apple IIe.I dominated the one Apple computer that my high school had. I pored over every word printed in magazines dedicated to Apple. Beautiful memories. Fast forward…Apple got into home audio. And the more of it I’ve experienced, the more I’m convinced that they really need to stop.

Made it!Today marks three months since I started my new role post-EAP. And it’s been a good three months on balance. It’s always challenging starting in a new place. There are questions to consider:“Which Simon do I present”? “When do I share my deep love of Toto and Level 42”? “Should I bring my hot sauce in to the office? You know, the usual. I think I’ve navigated it all ok. I’ve settled in, I know what I’m doing and I like to think I’m making a positive difference. My new colleagues are great.

I’m in Hanoi and I’m so stupidly happy to be here! Can’t stop smiling. https://t.co/EyLAaKWpuI
Today I had a cuppa with my 92 year old father. It’s the first time (as I recall) that we have ever talked about life stuff - not functional or logistical - in the last 30+ years. Surreal. Quite enjoyed it.
