Life's about experiences. These are mine.
It’s time for my annual round-up of the year just gone (you can read the previous year’s reports here). This was my first full year of retirement so it will be interesting to see what, if any , impact that has had on the figures. I have worked from home for the last ten years …
It’s time for my annual round-up of the year just gone (you can read the previous year’s reports here). My change in working circumstances has very much driven these stats as they did last year. Next year, well, this year now, I will be fully retired and therefore in theory all time will be my …
For my birthday in the summer of 2023, I was given a Raspberry Pi Camera, which, very much Heath Robinson style, I fixed to the conservatory window looking out onto our back garden. The camera takes a snapshot every hour, night and day, so I end up with a lot of images that are basically …
My annual round-up of the year just gone (you can read the previous year’s reports here). This year I was interested to see how the fact that now I am pretty much fully retired would have had an impact on some of these stats. For a start, I feel that I have listened to less …
My annual round-up of the year just gone (you can read 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021‘s reports). This was very much a transitional year as I moved from working part time to retirement at the end of August. I haven’t fully retired yet as I am still doing some consultancy but my daily rhythm has …

Well what a year that was! Not quite the one I was expecting to have that’s for sure. We didn’t get to go on the holidays we had planned but we got to see a lot more of our granddaughter which was more than adequate compensation. For me the adjustment due to the pandemic wasn’t …
This has taken me longer to sort out this year than it did for 2018 but here, finally, for you delectation is my 2019 in numbers. Once again these figures have been culled from a number of sources including Exist, last.fm, Audible, Swarm and a couple of spreadsheets that I keep. Healthily I managed 124,000 …
For years now I have been keeping list and records of what I have been up to. This might be count of daily steps through to books read. All of this was nothing more than for me personal interest. However, recently several personal data aggregators have emerged which take data from multiple sources and present …
