Weekly Wrap 579: Lockdown, meds, and magpies in the depths of winter

Sydney went into lockdown, I ended up being very sleepy thanks to the changing medication regime, and I produced a podcast — all part of my week of Monday 28 June to Sunday 4 July 2021. There were also magpies.

Weekly Wrap 578: A sleepy week before a lockdown

I was very, very tired in the first half of the week of Monday 21 to Sunday 27 June 2021, and a tad depressed. But I also managed to write a bit, and plan a bit, and get some medical appointments out of the way before the Greater Sydney area went into COVID lockdown on Saturday. Oddly enough I’m kinda feeling OK with all that.

Weekly Wrap 565: Sunny weather, fungus, and a Quiz

My week of Monday 22 to Sunday 28 March was what it was. As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m in the middle of a brain meds adjustment period of about 40 days, so the reduction in productivity is expected. But I got an episode of the Quiz done. And the end of the Great Sog, at least for now, brought some sunny weather which was a great help.

Weekly Wrap 564: Sog, pod, and magpies again

My week of Monday 15 to Sunday 21 March was a sleepy one, and at the end quite moist as the Great Sog continued. The wet weather and the ongoing adjustments to my brain meds led me to have a more… relaxed week. There’s a great podcast though.

Weekly Wrap 562: Pills, productivity, and peregrinations

I’m very happy with my week of Monday 1 to Sunday 7 March. I was the midst of changing my medication regime and productivity was high â€” there’s a good chance these things are connected â€” and I’ve just enjoyed a train trip up to Newcastle.

Weekly Wrap 531: Looking south from a quiet city towards the growing pandemic

This week of Monday 26 July to Sunday 2 August 2020 had a strange feeling to it. I got some things done. I feel a lot better both physically and mentally having spent another three nights down in Sydney, where there was both warmth and humanity. But the city was still quiet, and things continue to be bad down in Victoria.
