Wow, what a week. On Tuesday night there was a wild storm in Auckland that knocked down trees and powerlines, so a quarter of Auckland was left without power. I was without power for two days (back on now, phew). The storm sounded like a jet engine at times and there must have been a mini-tornado through the neighbourhood; trees came down and some kids pink paddling pool ended up in my garden (!). At the end of the street there is a trampoline that was tossed into the neighbours yard like it weighed nothing, eep.

Yesterday I was glad to get out of the house and treated myself to go and see 'Ready Player One' at the movies - as a geeky child of the '80's, I was the target audience. The movie was different in a lot of ways from the book but I was ok with that. The villain was played by the actor who was the villain in 'Rogue One' - there was a lot of good ham and cheese in his performance and I chuckled when he made a Star Wars reference. Will hopefully see the film again on the big screen.

Today it's that time of the month, ugh. *reaches for more chocolate*
