The Monday with my birthday

 Hi,

Well, my birthday was grand! Caught up with Mike and Maire at work for a chat. We used to all work together many years ago at NZTE.

Catch up work iced latte

Iced latte at work

Mike and I got teriyaki tofu for lunch and ate looking over the harbour. Then after work, I got changed, grabbed Barb and headed to the Intercontinental to find Anne and Karin. They were down from AKL for work and keen to do birthday Shut Up and Dance.

We walked up. Got there at 1745 and found a spot in the back corner for me. We had such a good time. The instructor took us through musical film classic songs. And the theme was Grease, Saturday Night Fever and Dirty Dancing. "(I've had) the time of my life" was the feature song. Lots of cha, cha, cha moves.

Mike went for a run while we did that. Then we walked up to Nolita and met him there. And had dinner. But while I found the food good, the service was odd. The staff were really nice. But Barb never got her main. And our table was really slow getting any food.

In the end, we had all had our mains and finished and Barb was still waiting. And it was now 20:30! So she cancelled her food. But I reckon they just forgot.

We said goodbye to Anne and Karin and Barb and us Ubered home.

Fed the hungry cats and fell into bed.

Up for a bus ride in and gym with Quentin for me. Tried 45kg bench but failed even one rep. Went back to 40kg. 3 reps x 3 sets. Then accessories.

Now at work. Not my birthday anymore. But work made me feel so good. Thank you. And Mike looked after me all day. 

Have a great day!

Love,

Angela
