The weekend with Toby in town

 Hi,

What a cracking weekend. Toby arrived Thursday evening and I finished my planning day and walked over after work with Mike. His late meeting finished early. We had tea at Sweet Mamas. My haloumi and hashbrown burger was good.

Then I went home in an Uber (the driver was lovely - said he thought I was 40 years old. It was dark!) while Mike and Toby went on to San Fran to see Electric Six. They really loved it. 

Third row from the front!
Two guitars, bass and drums, what more does a rock band need.

When the boys got home I did hear about the gig. And Toby scored a guitar pick! 

Friday saw me and Toby on the bus to town. Me for a haircut at 10am and Toby to chill at the new cafe in the refurbished library. I joined him and we had brunch there. Food was good. Coffee was not quite as good as I would have liked. Toby liked the coffee though.

Saturday we got up and drove the Corolla to town for park run and eWaste drop offs. I met Eunice on the actual run itself. Toby did well - just under 32 mins. The wind was pretty strong. Lisa was there so we had a coffee at Shelley Bay baker with her. Saw Jessie there too.

Dropped some old eWaste off at the bottom of Taranaki St on our way back from Park Run. Chilled Saturday watching The Bear on some streaming service or other.

Fish n chips Saturday night with Sally and Andrew at their place. That was good fun. Wandered around looking at work they have done and want to get done. We also ended up taking their old TV home with us because it was a better one than our old TV.

Got all the tools

Mike actually got the "new" TV installed and our old one taken down before we went to bed. Wow. And we have since watched it and it has made a huge difference. Lovely to have 1080p on both TVs now.

Sunday we had a chill morning - I made French Toast for the boys. Then off to see Project Hail Mary at The Embassy. That movie was stunning. I loved it. Science stuff. In space. With aliens. What is not to love? Go see it if you enjoyed The Martian. Same author. Similar vibe. One scientist against a lot of challenges to survive and complete the mission.

Bye Toby

Went to the airport and had some tea with Toby before he got on his 5.45pm flight to Chc. We went home and moped with the cats at his absence.

Watched Season 2 episode 1 of Deadloch with Mike before falling asleep. He was up to head to the gym with Quentin. It's supposed to be rainy and windy here today but the morning hasn't been too bad so far.

Have a great week.

Love,

Angela
