Park Run

 Saturday 21-12-2024

7:00 AM park run.  This was mostly a walk.

First looking at an atlas to consider the pre Marcus & Sophie wedding.  Spending two or three weeks just touring Turkey is sounding like the go.  

Bought Christmas ham.

Washed Magnus as she is scratching a lot.  Used medicated shampoo but this has made no difference.

tue10 Dec LOW

Feeling a bit low. 

No logic to it. 

BGRC AGM

Got an award from BGRC for services to rowing. 

Bit of a software challenge at work. 

Nice row in a 4 this morning with cooky, 7 and crafty.

Lovely coffee with Phoebe this morning. 

Weekend was lovely with Phoebe 

So not sure why I'm feeling low. 

Often wonder why I get feeling flow. 

I wonder about others who always seem to have it together. 

 

I ponder why marriages fail.  why emotions go the way they do.  

communication.  feelings. 

forgiveness

how does one go from love through some kind of steady as she goes 

how do you get it back into some kind of love thing. passion. dates.

SATURDAY 7

5:30 Drove down the GC to take Mags to the off lead beach.

Breakfast in the form of a croissant Benny.

11:30 home.

Chris modding his Nissan. Heavy duty suspension. 

Over to Phoebe's and Fletch and I moved the washing machine upstairs and onto her verandah. 

6:30 Ben and Rachel's Christmas dinner. Beautiful but very rich food. 

Interesting they have a 16? Yo black cat with similar mannerisms to Oreo in that he liked to just be near the action and when we moved,  he'd move shortly after.

SUNDAY 8

A bit of a sleep in so no erg.

7am coaching. 

Dropped into Mt O.

Bought some shirts.

Poor mags had to stay in the car. 

Over to DFO. 

Phoebe went in to look for socks as presents for her gym coaches. I got Mags out and we ran across the carport so she wouldn't burn her feet. 

Snooze

2:30 collected Phoebe

3:00 Phoebe's gym Christmas party at the Normanby.

last 3 for dinner

Chris Dan Jemma came to dinner. 

This is likely the last Thursday with Jemma before she jets off for a year of adventure. 

Dinner was:

Steak, onion, Mushrooms, 

Sweet Potato, 

Lettuce, tomato, cucumber.

I had a tin of beetroot but upon opening, it looked a bit odd. Not the bright purple colour. A bit purple grey. No taste.  Threw it out. 

Jem may have a delayed departure because she is waiting on the EU work permit. Combined with complexity of air tickets through a on line booking service. 

Lime issue

 LIME

call 1800 861 305 in Australia

as

aaa

Note that Lime ended the ride.

Note that they knew my ride was  "In Progress"

And then they sent a warning.

Frustration is that the map does not show the no parking zones until AFTER you start a ride.

 

 

 

Qantas

 

Every time my phone beeps I think "ooh exciting someone wants to talk to me" but then I see it's Qantas

There's something....

Symbiotic?

Synonymous?

Serendipitous?

Expected?

Normal,

About receiving a message from Quantas as you know it will start with:"we are sorry...."

 

 

 

At the airport, tried for an earlier flight - no.  Tried for an exit isle - nope.  But they gave us each $30 in gift cards.
