Woke up this morning, had some breakfast then I walked down to the Petone mail centre to pick up my passport. I had organised a replacement because it expired at the beginning of this year so I was surprised when on Friday last week there was a ‘card to collect’ left by the courier because most of the time I expect a passport replacement to take a few weeks. I headed down to the mail centre with my drivers licence for identity verification and picked it up . On a good side the day was wonderful, lots of fresh air walking along the Petone waterfront with the total clocking in at 10km.

While I was down at Peton I picked up some drink coasters and placemats – I have these glass drink coasters but they’re not very robust, slippery and one of them broke. The new ones I picked up from Briscoes are made from bamboo and come in some bright colours which standout which brings a bit of colour to where I have them (my office, computer in the lounge room and on the coffee table in the lounge room). While I was down there I picked up some lunch at the local bakery then jumped on a bus home . Once home I got in contact with mum to find out what time we were meeting up for dinner and then had a shower.

For dinner we ordered a meal from ‘Noodle Canteen’ and this time I got some extra vegetables in my stir fry because, to quote what the kids are saying these days, I’m ‘vegemaxxing’ – with any luck the fact that an older millennial using such a term will instantly make it cringe and it’ll disappear from the modern lexicon. I also picked up some groceries – Woolworths has a special on at the moment which resulted me being able to pick up $30 worth of vouchers that I’ll use next time I do some grocery shopping.

On Tuesday I’m going to head down to the mall to check out a few things and I’m also going to have a look at some clothes storage as well – I’ve kind of procrastinated about it so I think I am going to take the plunge. At the moment I don’t have enough space in my current tall boy so I’ve got to put the hoodies in the wardrobe but the problem with that is now that is being used up to the point i have to use the wardrobe in my office rather than having everything together (although the second tallboy will be in the second room it will free up space to move everything to a single wardrobe).
