    Snuck out of the meet and greet. They can stay in the office, I’d prefer to spend my personal time doing my own thing.

    This is one of the temu things I got

    I asked for an extension from the real estate agent
    On the twice-yearly inspection, ridiculously invasive
    They graciously gave me another week to prepare
    Though I think the concept is entirely unfair.

    Simon can’t be fucked today.

    Some fancy douchebag from the conglomerate is here so we all have to put on our fineries and do the little dance.

    Popcorn has 94kcal per serving.
    Each bag has 10 servings.
    I did not eat 1 serving.

    Whew that was a super hectic talk-through of whatever shonky slides I already have but it looks like I am mostly there. The power of just slapping up one image with notes on another screen so you can talk as little or as much as needed depending on time!

    Looks like my supervisor is pretty flat out marking other stuff next week so it really is hyper-compressed crunch time rest of this week to get the slides to a usable place, then get a 90% draft of the thesis across by latest Tuesday next week.

    Ah well, I operate best under pressure and maybe it’s a good target for me to try and get this wrapped up by my RL cake day around that due date as a bonus motivator… time to clear the weekend and get more food ordered! 🦾

    It’s all happening at Norfland (again). This time a car has driven through it. My local shopping centre is living up to its reputation for drama

    Loong beach walk, went to where the mangroves start. Saw two pelicans out of the water and close up, they are BIG, much bigger than I thought.

    I’m loving this beach/sea side life, it’s just what I needed to destress. 🙂

        these are part of mud flats/marshland that go quite a distance

        pretty much impossible to navigate after this point as it is all salty mud flats, no sandy beach

        it’s a nature reserve after this point

    My brain is potentially cooked. Been earwormed by obscene chants from Primary school. No idea who taught us these things but they need a stern talking to!

    I tried one of the trails near my place on the way home yesterday. I don’t think I’ll incorporate it into the commute. It was very steep on both ends and a lot of work, even on the ebike at full assist. I’ll keep looking at the trails though, there may be a shortcut that’s a decent balance between hills and cutting out intersections.

        There are a couple of creeks around I could follow but none line up with the commute I’m aware of

            If I can ride these other trails I think I’ll take them anyway. They cut out some annoying intersections next to a busy road.

            And the ride yesterday was tough, but the view was beautiful once I finally got to the top. Much nicer than even suburban cycle paths to get around.

    Beach. It’s cold, I’ll rug up.

    and visiting the other side of the creek today, there are few rocks there and not many sea birds

    haven’t really explored that area yet , I’ll take pics ❄️☀️
