Julie left to her weekend away with Christina and Lauren. Took the boys to Agnes bakery on James St - got an almost crossaint that was circular with all the almond slivers poking up. I bumped into CE at New Farm Park - before Kai ran off through the rose bushes. We made pizzas, and Alex came over for dinner - we talked life and relationships
Came home at a reasonable time - had a roast chicken and veggies with the family. I managed to cleanly cut the chicken in half. It was really weird having dinner with them for a change.
Checked out the frame with dad - noticed how low the garage entrance was, so we measured it. Yum chat with Julie's cousins. The char kway teow was horrible - the boys played at the arcade next door.
Emergency call on the DB load issues - it turned into a big meeting for Jon's first day back, and yet nobody could tell us what actually was causing it.
Playing against a tall team at soccer - it was tight all the way through, but we managed to get up by two with 3m to go. We ended up losing after a flurry of goals.
Mothers day drive up to see mum - extremely slow moving old man came out of the bottle shop while we went to get wine, clerk in tow to help him. Took flowers to the beach, and threw them in for nanny - given its the first mother's day mum has had without her
Hanging out with Luke B while a government pitch day was happening in the office We were trying to be quiet - but I accidentally knocked over my light beer (which tasted rather awful) Drove to the city to get Tears of the Kingdom for AJ and I. I got the last copy - walking past the bored electro violist. AJ was incredibly excited when I gave it to him when I got home.
Saw our frames for the first time. Met Tatiana and her husband who were walking past. Her hubby had his name really spiked up at the front. It was good to see the frame, but they'd accidentally flipped the powder room
I rushed to come home to soccer talking to Andy in the car. Got turned off by the pot of food left out by Julie's mum - it was some chicken mince soup thing that smelt weird.
Kai ran into my office while I was on a call and gave me a big hug - the first time I saw him in his soccer outfit. We had burgers, I was terrified he'd get his red and white shirt dirty.
After the frustrating afternoon the day before snapping screws while mounting the blind in the study - I went back to bunnings and got what I need to fix that, and the bike rack. Dennis and Carolina came over - I assembled his PC for him.
Met mums boyfriend Alan for the first time - he had a cracking handshake. We went and saw the slab for the first time - the boys played with their cars on it. I made dumplings - they seemed dry
Ant pinged me - he told me he got made redundant. Heard Marc was also in that group, and Jo. talked about others who would be going - showing me their faces in Bob
Workshop on V3 API - we quickly landed on a position to use minimal query params. We still need to ponder Graph - I pinged Ben after but we couldn't decide.
Ran as far as I dared towards the gap along the Enoggera Creek path. Ended up at the scout hall next to the new bridge between Ashgrove and The Gap where it floods. Kai's first movie - and my first time at Red Hill cinema. We watched Mario with the Williamson's, he hid behind the chair when bowser came on screen.
Visited Lauren and Jon for the first time in forever - Jon pointed out my grey beard. We struggled with my PC - which had all sorts of issues with the new CPU, but eventually worked. Whipper snipped their yard and side, to help given Jon was out of action.
Cleared out all of the boxes from the study furniture to the tip, along with the old desk and chairs. The garage was now clear of crap after the study build. It was still a lot of space Went to Ba Ngoi's and fixed her smoke alarm - but I couldn't fix the leaky tap, as I need to buy a new one. Struggled to shut the water off.
Raced to the Ploughman to have a beer with Alan S - called and realised he was at 5 Boroughs. Raced up - and had a beer and burger while we talked work and our connection via Luci
