I noticed that it looked absolutely sensational outside today so I took the opportunity to test the wireless range and established my office up in the backyard. There's rainforest behind me, clear blue skies overhead and best of all - ocean view ahead of me (okay it is a strip but I swear I can see some blue). This is the middle of winter and the weather meter says it's currently 22°C. That's a sterling 71°F and right alongside the current temperature in California.
Though I haven't sat cross-legged like this in a long time. My knees are starting to hurt.
I'm an Australian Chief Analytics Officer passionate about data science, visual insights, and all things sport—particularly cricket. An adventurer at heart, I’ve gone from abseiling cliffs to snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, sleeping in the wilds of Africa, and exploring destinations worldwide, with my latest trip taking me to Bali. When I'm not diving into data or analytics, I'm spending time with my three sons and two daughters, attempting to hit sixes for my local cricket club, reviewing chicken schnitzels or honing my craft around a coffee machine.
Your KNEES are starting to hurt? You’re such a baby 😉
71°F in California? Maybe up north! But down here in L.A. it’s a balmy, scrot-rot inducing 80°F+
I just noticed the phrase you used at the start of this entry: “Absolutely sensational”. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an American use that particular phrase. It’s distinctly Australian, or perhaps English and we just borrowed it for a bit 😉
Cap’n John Take 1 – That’s self-induced, blanket thick smogalicious heat mate. I’m not sure that counts!
NPR Junky – What can I say? I’m getting old? Every now and then something hurts a little bit and I can’t help but notice. “That never hurt before!” I’ve put my body on the line in various sports and sundry many times over the years and still walked away invincible. My powers… they seem to be… fading…
Cap’n John Take 2 – Itsch the Richie Benaud in me I am afraid. Yesch, marvellous catch that. Schintiliating stuff.
