Busy afternoon trying to find a lock at kmart at Toowong - nearly hit the pole in the Tesla. Gave up, and ended up on my flight after getting stuck in a very long line.

Big roadmap planning session with all teams focused on the H1 goal of admin migration - struggled to make progress in some ways, but ultimately I think it created the alignment we needed. 

Talked to Sylvia from work in the US about our partner - she told me about her twins. 

Geremy was back at soccer - first time I'd seen him in forever, and first after fat camp. We lost horribly - I parked on the opposite side of the road, up around the corner. Had to check my position multiple times backing in. 

Working in the office catching up while the family went to the city with Huss - had to live vicariously via the photos of them at the Brisbane sign. 

Cleaned up the linen cupboard - got storage boxes and made it all neat.  Ran a half marathon after the week of Byron runs to build endurance and strength. My legs we were knackered.  Huss came over for dinner - tried to find a book to show him, but couldn't find it. 

Drove back from Byron - had to stop for Julie to poo, and noticed the charging stalls in the BP carpark. We had a BBQ with the hot sauce I brought home. 

Took the kids to the farm to feed the animals. Had fun doing hand stands and cartwheels, while teaching them the 'stacks on' concept.

Went for dinner and had the tomohawk steak followed by a poker night. Watched Brett wind by blindly going all in.

Battled the wind and debris on the road to go to Mynion Falls. Was worried about the car, but it seemed OK. Felt bad about buying the last pies for lunch.  Had chicken parmis for dinner - and old man fell over at the counter as we left. 

Took the boys to the beach - they naturally stripped off and ran into the surf. I got a cold press coffee from a muscled up guy that looked and sounded like the sword fighter from The Princess Bride Later, we walked the light house. It got dark, and Brett and I walked the path down to get the cars. 

Took the kids to the pie shop and circus - watched the worker swinging on thr trapeze trying to catch the kids. The coffee was served in a regular mismatched mug.

The girls went to the spa and tattoo parlour while we stayed home with the kid playing video games as it rained. Managed to get out for a run to the lighthouse, encountering a snake along the path.

Took the kids to swimming to Julie could pack, then drove down to Byron Bay - first time charging the car to 100%. Ordered Korean, got chicken that was sadly not very spicy. 

Long day - followed by drinks with Prags at the powerhouse. Was great to hear about his Scottish travels, and it gave me a chance to vent a little. 

Good session with Ben M on roles and what we think about tagging them. Aligned well, and was nice to catch up with him again. 

Session with Tara on the HTML template for this marketing email. Her figma template was pretty, but Intercom didn't want to ingest it. 

Got Oscar up to speed on the Beam 2.0 work, but it turned out Shangzhi and Eric needed something similar, so he opted to take point. 

Helped the team with MS teams troubleshooting. It was the first time I've worked with Kim

Jas and Tim both came around for afternoon tea - dad was invited but told me he was our shopping. In reality, he was out in the Mustang.

Took Kai out for a daddy day while AJ was at a birthday party. Went to Alex's, before heading off to Chermside for him to check out toys - before we caught up with Julie who was waiting on AJ to finish up at Kingpin.

Session with Jon and the director on Engineering tenants and holding our seniors to higher standards. Was a struggle to stay silent.
