Got an idea for next month's banner?
Waiting for my shuttle to the airport. Thanks for turning on the good weather Auckland!
Where are you off to?
Home - flight down to Nelson, then back to the Coast
Business or pleasure?
Has been a work trip, industry conference. Lots of leads to follow up when I get home :)
Oh nice, sounds like it was worthwhile!
Watched Beau Miles’ latest video and it kind of resonated seeing as our second child is getting close to 1. It reminded me how selfishly frustrating it can feel when young children take up your time that you want to spend on other pursuits. It’s a reminder to me that it’s not permanent. Also a reminder that we haven’t taken a holiday for years…
I can recommend his vids, he’s a introspective and inspirational person who makes quite well done short videos.
Thanks for posting this! He talks a bit about how little sleep they are getting. Now my youngest is 3 and I feel like I never get enough sleep. But looking back, it's still a lot more than I was getting a couple of years back!
And sometimes it's my own fault. A couple of days ago I thought I'd better not forget to do that thing, so set myself an alarm for 2 o'clock. Forgot about it until 2am when the alarm went off! Got the am/pm bit wrong...
Oh man I know that feeling! or forgetting to turn off the alarm on a weekend or holiday.
It's been a while since I had an unwanted weekend alarm since I use my phone and it's set just for Mon-Fri, but public holidays catch me out a lot!
Actually you're right, it's mainly public holidays or when I don't have to do the school run in the morning
