@MN5 Was in Wellington for the first time since Feb. Fuck sake. Is anyone even in the office? Streets were deserted.
Nah that's just Welly
Pfffft, not even gonna dignify this with an answer. You loved the capital and you know it.
@MN5 yeah it is a nice joint overall. Has changed a lot since we landed there one weekend in 2015 and the place was dead as shit. Sure, it was second weekend in January and every bastard was on holidays I guess...

Absolutely, it goes pretty dead then but livens up late January for the Trentham Cup and Sevens.......aw that's right until the fun police canned it.

home life seems like it's helping a 4 yo with homework constantly,
You are talking about your daughter not your husband aren't you?
It just sounds suspiciously like something my wife would say (and we don't have kids)...

Sure sign it's a government town.
Back next week. Last Friday was trying to organise appointments. Without exception every client was off that day. WFH - yeah / nah. No one replied to my emails until after nine Monday.
Lazylucky bastardsOther half ( government stooge that she is ) only goes into the office twice a week now and that's only cos of the free HIIT classes. I don't go into my "office" much anymore either. Lambton Quay is damn quiet these days.

Lazylucky bastardsEspecially Fridays.
I was at my kid's cricket practice at Anderson Park yesterday, finishes at 5. Driving home, rush hour, mentally mapping my route before I set off.. go via Kelburn? avoid The Terrace .... Nah, don't bother.... driving through CBD is no worries these days.
Finding parks on the whole is pretty easy these days as well but the fuckers charge later now.....and on WEEKENDS ?!?!?! time to vent on the Grumpy Old Man thread I think.....
Conversely Sydney feels almost back to normal.

@R-L Be careful, you know what blokes are like with their secretaries 😳

Finally caught up on this thread.
Sorry to hear your news @R.L

@MiketheSnow ...come on big Mike there are people far worse off than me!! But thanks.
@Catogrande he can hardly have an affair with his own wife, that's some weird role play stuff I do not have the time for .

Oh treat yourself. Live a little.
I'll lend him my pilot's uniform next if you like?
You might need one of these:

@R-L said in Lockdown Check In:
@Snowy uncanny resemblance. Can't be arsed. He doesn't deserve it anyway.
Still trouble at mill. Sorry to here that.
Pretty sure we all picture you like that, just as we are mostly Jamie Dornan lookalikes. I'm just little more mature than him myself.

@R-L said in Lockdown Check In:
@Snowy hang on, how old are you?? Were you flying these sort of planes... ![alt text]
Ah no. These (amongst others):
Kind of miss it now that Covid has taken it away rather than just my choice. I retired young (but I started early too) due to not really liking my employers and wanting to get out of Hong Kong (which was a wise move it seems now, both politically and Covid hasn't been great for Airlines).
I probably have a decade on Mr Dornan though. I'm just taller and better looking. Similar beard.

I suspect it's about the uniform.
I could just be a piece of meat (so to speak) - I think. Not that I mind that.

Love in the time of Covid
A young maiden, locked in her castle by a tyrannical government dreams of escape when a dashing
pilotpolish lass manages to get her a message. The maiden dreams of a far flung country in another realm with the remnants of a once great rugby team. -

Ouch.
@RL and I have fallen out before over a bad hair day (hers not mine). This would be far more serious though.I think that for Mokes to be interested I would have to be more:

This might work though:
