The Tuesday with my parents heading home to Aus

 Hi,

The cat content is at peak levels today, readers! Hahah.  We have had a run of good weather here. Stunning days since Friday. My parents got ready Tuesday morning to head home and their Uber came at 12.15pm and whisked them off. I got messages from them that they got home late our time after a wee delay on the plane. So good to have them here. They seemed to really love their holiday, Yay. I was very sad to see them go (and still sad as I type this).

It was hot on Tuesday and the cats draped themselves all over the house in an attempt to avoid the sunshine.

Tuesday morning: last pats with Smudge

Such a hot day

When Mike got home, we had tea and then watched some TV before driving off at 9.30pm to try and spot the comet. I suggested Makara. Hopeless as it did not see enough to the southwest. But I did see 3 of the planets that are currently aligned (along with Uranus - which you need a telescope to see). So I saw Venus, Jupiter and Mars easily.

It was the nicest evening. T shirt and shorts at 10pm on a beach. Unheard of. We popped up Wrights Hill to see if the height helped but it was too late by then and we disturbed the local astronomy club out looking at the night sky. Oops.

If it is clear we might try again tonight.

Up to ride in. I did not tighten one of my bike rack attachments and it fell off just up on Mairangi Road. Oops. Need to reattach that when I get home.

Met Mike after his gym for a French Kiss cart iced coffee.

Chatted a lot to Juliet at work. And trying to get on top of things still. Have an awesome day.

Love,

Angela
