The Monday back at work

 Hi,

It is Abby's birthday today!

Turns out I took no photos yesterday. Well, that is not true. But I did get a new phone - a new Samsung Galaxy S23, courtesy of Mike. This is to replace my S20 that went for a swim in April at my parents' place and has never given accurate GPS since.

I think I am mostly copied over now and up and running on the new phone. Sweet.

Headed to Spin after work yesterday and met Juliet and Erin. It was Erin's first spin class (although she did practise at home on her bike with a YouTube video). And she nailed it. Juliet was in front if us - and I never caught her once!

Met Mike after that and went back to work to grab his gear and then off to Roanne's to get her bike box for Peak to Pub racing.

Back home and tea and bed!

Up early for PT session with Quentin. Repped 42.5kg on bench! Tough. I ended up only doing one rep!

Big day at work. Then Spin and ride home. Mike has a work meeting late (Uk based).

Hope your day is a good one. Especially Abby.

Love,

Angela

The Monday back at work

 Hi,

As I sit at work (in the real office) I sense a break in the relentless poor weather.  I saw lovely blue skies this morning on our way into town.

Let's see?  My morning started with a migraine, which put paid to a morning gym session. We slept in an extra wee bit and worked from home. Mike discovered he had a meeting he had to be in person for and nipped into town by bus mid-morning. On the way out the door he excitedly pinged me that he'd found yet another mouse in the trap by the bins. Our best trap.

Catch #13
Unlucky for this guy

We did get to the gym at lunchtime instead, and my morning migraine didn't give me cause to stop.  Mind you, I was a little pathetic.  So maybe it did have an effect.

Bench at the gym

Mike had had enough of his now glacially slow Nokia phone and ordered a Samsung S21 FE 5G (what a mouthful) from Noel Leeming for $900. Let's see if it's better and faster and with a battery that lasts more than a couple of hours. 

Back home to finish up.  I did have a late meeting with Mike to discuss work with the Netherlands.  Hahah.

Made dinner and we enjoyed the freshness of a Buddha bowl.  Hadn't had one of those in a while.

Dinner

Off to bed.  Good sleep.  Up for 7am bus into the gym.  Session with Mike.  Shower at work.  At my desk.

I did read that Celia has now contracted covid.  And I did sit next to her the entire night on Saturday night at her house.  I might be a ticking time bomb.

Poor Celia and James.  But at least they are sick together.  According to households, that is the best way to do it - rather than a protracted 2 weeks as one passes it to another in a relay.

Right.  Let's see how the day progresses.

Take care.  Good luck today, Toby.  He had an exam yesterday - 2 - 6pm.  And today he has another one.

Love,

Angela

The Monday back at work

Hi,

Iced latte in my mourning Monday clothes - no typo

Slightly busy day at work juggling a few things.  PT session after work and great news (I bumped into her at the gym) from a friend that she has secured a job in her research field at a uni here in NZ.  Woot!  Does mean they are likely to move.  Boo!  But it'll just be more friends to visit in the big smoke.

Mike has officially left the Apple Ecosystem and bought a Nokia (yes, Nokia) 7.2 Android Phone from Mighty Ape for the princely sum of $529. Maybe he won't have to ask me for bus fare anymore. I wonder when Apple will catch up with being able to read snapper cards and the like?

Which does remind me - we need to visit Sampsons and their mewing multitudes very soon!  Hahahah.  More social media pics, please.  To get me through to when I see them IRL.  :-p

Tuesday is here in all its majesty - blue skies, no wind.  Dragon boat training will be a pleasure after work today.

Enjoy your day.

Love,
Angela

And Mike bought a shiny new iPhone 6

 

It must have been the last straw the day before when his old iPhone 4 went flat and he had to walk home. He bought it from the 2degrees shop in the same building as Intergen.

The screen will last about two weeks when he cracks it at Lake Waikaremoana. Much less durable then the iPhone 4!
