That after 26 days of no water on the Street, 6 phone calls to the CCC, and filling in their On-line form.

That after a phone call yesterday afternoon to the Contractor, the Flooding Signs have been removed already today!

In other words bypass the CCC if possible and save at least 25 days!

Taking a couple of days off next week to watch my son play football for his school in the National Schoolboys Tournament Week. 

They may not win, but at least this tournament is going ahead, unlike the previous 2 years! 

Also - work conference this week - had a keynote speaker. 

This guy: https://camcalkoen.com/

Wow. It's probably the first time at a corporate gig that I have come away completely inspired by a speaker. And I mean properly, completely inspired. 

If you ever get a chance to see Cam Calkoen speak - DO NOT MISS IT. 

The SoundPeats Air3 who arrived yesterday. 😎

And people (other people, not me) complain about couriers being slow -

Just finding out that Spark Sport has the US Tennis open live , which means ESPN doesn't. So no bumping College Football and NFL from the Schedule. 😀

Eldest son is at one of the National Secondary Schools football tournaments this week (Tournament Week all over the country). It's his last year at high school and the last two years tournament has been cancelled. 

Just found out they won their first game and he scored a goal. Good times. 

Going up to watch a couple of games tomorrow. 

Four RPi pico W are on the way for the next project! :-)

Mum was at a "meet the candidates" thing on the weekend. Each candidate was given two minutes to speak, and this was timed and enforced. Apparently one hopeful spent her first minute speaking in Maori, then the second minute saying how grateful she was to be there and thanking the organisers, and then the bell rang before she had said anything about why anyone should vote for her.

Behodar:..and then the bell rang before she had said anything about why anyone should vote for her.

At least she didn't get to hear any "bullsh*t" promises! Which normally happen and never eventuate if they are elected!
