The weekend with Toby's birthday

 Hi,

What a whirlwind of social events that weekend was.  Phew.  Now I am at work to recover.  Hahahah.

Saturday saw us up for the last boot camp pf the year.  Then Mike and I did some messages - picked up Toby's birthday cake.  Bought some Christmas presents.

Headed to Karaka to meet boot camp punters at 11.30am and enjoyed a catch up with most of them.  No boot camp until late January now.  OMG.  I need to up my gym game to make up for no boot camp and no PT sessions after this week.

Drove back home and showered and then off to Rex and Jo's house warming.

Their house is stunning.  Wow.  They have done so well.  Good on them.  And it was good to catch up as I haven't seen them for ages.  Sophie was also there - and we have been trying to catch up for the past 18 months and covid and work and life have got in the way.

Not sure I like the fact it has been so long since I saw her last.  I really need to make more effort.  Move those clashes and go grab her and properly catch up.  Turns out she is a product owner now too.  Hahahah.

Oh - how I have missed seeing Sophie

Back home for a quick breather and then off to Circa to meet Kara and Neil and to see a play called Hole. 

The play was excellent.  Well acted.  Good sets.  Minimal props.  But on its own, the story had no character arc for its actors.  To my mind, no one changed from their going in position.  And the subject matter had so much potential.  Climate change in Antarctica.  No one can argue with that.  Or fail to be affected.  

Oh well.  It was good.  So see it and tell me what you think.

Back home to sleep.  Up for Toby's birthday on Sunday.  And the weather did no play ball.  Seriously.  Was it December or July?  Apart from the fact it was 18C or so, you could be forgiven for thinking it was winter.

Happy birthday Toby from Aunty Karen, Uncle Scott and Tyler and Abby

We went out to Yum cha to the Grand Century and met Polly, Sally and Andrew, Kara and Neil and enjoyed yum cha together.  Such a good way to celebrate Toby's 19th birthday.

Back home and chill.  Mike took us mother home and dropped off some things at her place.  Then burgers for tea and bed.

More rain today (Monday).  Still warm though.  Busy social week as Christmas crazy kicks in.  Karaoke tomorrow night with the old workmates.  Hahah.  It's going to be fun!

Have a fantastic day.  And enjoy the week.

Love,

Angela
