The last 6 weeks have been about traveling and certainly it has been hectic. One disadvantage is that my gym time has suffered and certainly impacted my lifestyle and fitness which is a shame.
I really need to get back into this, and my recent trip to the gym yielded less than stellar results as I was definitely not fitter than I was just a few months ago, so feel like the hard work has been literally worked off!
The last little while - work has also been tough and likely set up for some tough discussions, so that's definitely not so great. In reflecting, I felt that I did do a lot and made some sacrifices, but in the end, results were not where I would have liked, which is disappointing.
But over the last few months, I have made some small purchases. Largely because I hadn't bought so much for myself and also because they were related to the trip I took.
Firstly, I bought my first drone. Yes, I bought the DJI Mavic Pro. This was for my trip to Scandinavia, and was done as I thought there would be some good awesome footage off the back of it. Unfortunately, it was mostly raining when we went and so there was not such great opportunity for footage and literally we didn't have time to just go flying! I bought it because I thought it would be a great opportunity to see if there would be different angles of photography I could do - but seriously need some flying lesson! I definitely like the idea of flying and always had a bit of interest in that area, so here is the opportunity to do more in that regard!
The second item was a bit of a whim. I recently bought a Seiko watch - the SBDC053. I always liked Seiko watches and I distinctly recalled that my father had one. He had it in his drawer and it was a watch he asked a friend to carry over for him back in the day. As a child I thought it would be fun to wear around the house, and one day I was wearing it and scrapped it against the wall leaving some heavy scratch marks. I recall having to tell my dad I was sorry about it, but he didn't scold me about it. He left it in his drawer, but didn't really wear it until recently when he got the glass polished again, though I am glad he did and continues to wear it. I bought a watch that was released this year. When I went to the shop, they had three left - including the same one I just tried on. As I was contemplating, there was only two left as someone just bought the other one. Good sales tactic as I snapped it up! The issue was that I had checked a few websites and they were either more expensive or not in stock, so decided to grab this one! Also, changed the strap to a NATO strap, so definitely has a different feel!
