Finally. Someone we work with has girls old enough to be in Brownies and she’s selling Girl Guide biscuits from her desk! Saves The Mister having to search out little girls in uniform in the streets and us having to carry cash around every weekend just in case we see them.
Clap clap – bikkies should be here in 10 days or so!

Someone’s being fiddling with our ‘plant’ in reception … if you stare at it long enough the word XERO should materialise.

There’s lots of graffiti around at the moment. When I looked out the window this morning at breakfast time I saw new tags way up on the sides of buildings, reached by being on the roofs of lower buildings, and all over air conditioning ducts and units on top of the lower buildings.

5 years ago to the day since I helped carry my best friend to her final resting place. 5. Years. Without even consciously thinking about it I have fairly sad patches in January and February every year and this is why. I always thought it was NewYearitis but I think the vivid memories are the more likely culprit.
I miss you Leeann.

Am in the mood for typing typing typing like the wind but when working on new features there’s lots of mouse clicking and taking pictures of screens.

Audi should drop you off at work in some car you might want to upgrade to, not an old model service car.

What does a girl have to do to get a cup of coffee at 4.30pm (on a Friday no less) in this town. There are some things in the European and American food life style that I’m not so keen on (to generalise terribly, the long drawn out meals and massive portions respectively) but the coffee culture or large populations of either mean that you can get a cup of coffee at any time and it doens’t have to be from a pub. Superfino is closed already. The People’s Coffee garage door was closing when I got there. So here I am back up at funky Offbeat Originals in Left Bank. And the coffee is pretty good today.
Am also trying out CafeNET for the first time. Should’ve nicked the Mister’s Mac wireless internet thingy that he uses for work but I’m not like that even though am largely here checking work emails and tickets (*privately* of course). Just like I don’t expense claim every damn cup of coffee that I buy on work business. Anyway I’m rambling. CafeNET is cool! Just signed up for $20 worth of bytes and it’s fast! Wouldn’t know I’m not at home. I always wondered how it worked – so even though you can choose ‘CafeNet’ as the wireless provider every site is blocked (no connection) except theirs – I guess they have to make it so easy for you to buy!
(God. I’m the most normal person here. Everyone’s smoking, not sure how long I’ll last. Oh! And a woman near my just got the tiniest dog out of her handbag!)

Rain is heavy thick wet drops coming straight down – it’s Bay of Plenty rain and everyone’s arriving at work totally drenched in their rain coats. Esp those coming from far away places like the Hutt.

The Mister forgot to put the coffee machine on this morning. We had to have plunger. Hmmm.

Our Short Dark Friend is in there somewhere. The Wellington Round the Bays race. Very cool to see so many Wellingtonians out enjoying themsevles in our city. Not a bad day for it either.
