Working from home today. Misplaced both my phones and after 20 mins turning the house upside down to find them, I had to ask my colleagues to call both phones to help me locate them. Just getting over another bout of Covfefe so I blame my brain ☠️

Happy Wednesday!

Quote this post with a really foolish injury:

Skipping down our hallway, I jumped too high and too fast. My face was headed for the door frame so I leant back, my face skimmed the head jamb. Didn't have time to bring my legs forward so landed on my knees on a carpeted but concrete floor 😫☠️πŸ”₯

Sparrows at this Ōtaki cafe sit close to punters, ready for any leftovers. I don't leave leftovers #sorryboutit
