With all the prehistoric posts Cyndi’s been doing (like way back in 2014!), I thought it was time for a current post. The problem is that I have little to say.
The past few days, or maybe the past week, have been gray and drizzly with brief sunny periods and brief, heavy rain, mostly at night. Yesterday, during our daily ‘no matter what the weather’ walks to get lunch, the Auckland Sky tower was barley visible in the clouds and fog.
We are enjoying Auckland, despite the weather. There are so many great restaurants to try. We’ve mastered the bus to get across the bay to a few of them. Also Uber works really well here. I think the longest we’ve waited for a ride has been two minutes. It’s reasonably priced as well: just a little bit more than the bus when you’re talking about transporting two people.
So here’s how our days mostly go:
Cyndi reads the covid news.
Cyndi gets lost in Facebook for a while.
Cyndi researches the day’s dining activities.
During this, Rich reads Reddit and thinks about the day’s projects (which as often as not, get pushed back to another day).
Finally it’s lunch time. We walk or ride there, eat, and return to Legacy, often with a Gelato stop on the way home.
Cyndi works on blog posts.
Rich tries to work on a project.
Then sometimes, we’ll have dinner.
“Oh my God, is it already 6:00!?” Time for showers and to crawl into bed for some reading.
Yea, I know that’s early, but it’s dark by then!
And so our days go. It may not be a productive life, but it’s very pleasant.
