After a bit of a week, I needed this gym session. This time last year I was lifting 66kg for bench at 3x5. #liftheavyshit

Hospital stays with ageing parents are tough. The constant need to advocate, and the desperate search for information are exhausting.

The Warriors need to partner with cardiologists.

Weekend plans derailed. Dad had a fall in the bathroom. Not injured but I couldn't get him up so we called an ambulance. Three awesome wahine sorted him out. Now in North Shore awaiting assessment.

I wasn't expecting much from the gym today because my neck and left shoulder are really stiff (for some unknown, probably age-related reason) so I was pleasantly surprised with a new PB on bench press. 5 sets of 4 reps at 76kg. #liftheavyshit

I was never sporty or particularly fond of exercise through most of my life, but in my fifties I've recognised the importance of lifting heavy shit. Today at the gym I bench pressed 80kg for 5 sets of 3 reps. This time last year I was doing 66kg. Never too late.

Is there something studenty going on in Auckland tonight? Buses from the Uni area are packed.

I play a bit too much Destiny 2 on the PS5, and my day can't properly start until I've done Wordle, Connections and Strands. #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

Went for a last team lunch at Monsoon Poon before they close on Friday. Unlike most of my colleagues I won't be sad to see them go, but the food was plentiful and the service good. Might need to sleep through my afternoon meetings.

I'm pretty much omnivorous in most things. The only thing I'm intolerant of is intolerance!

I'm doing my "one day per week in the office" thing today, and there are technically more people in my home office than in the physical office! I've seen one other person on the floor.

If you've already seen it, forgive me for posting again. This topic is important to me, and I hope to you. Take care of yourself, and each other. @pelliclemag.com www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/4/...

Just watched the first two episodes of Adolescence. Oh boy. Trying to figure out how they do the single shot stuff. It works so well.

If the weather could just get this out of its system before the Warriors game it would be much appreciated.

Sourdough HXBs. Toaster optional.
