As of today I have now done:
✅ Yoga with cats
✅ Stand up paddle board yoga
Am I millenial-ing correctly?
Still to do: goat yoga.
One of the few things I knew about Chicago before planning my trip was about the T-Rex Dino Sue, via The Dresden Files cc. @longshotauthor . Was sad to hear she was off display but went to the Field Museum anyway and managed to get a peek after all!
Spent the weekend in Chicago and got to meet two of my Internet heroes - the wonderful people behind @kitten_academy . It was the best.
Verdict: coworkers are suspiciously eyeing the lolly cake but are pleased once I’ve gently nudged them to try it. Explaining the ingredients doesn’t help much. instagram.com/p/BlEJdYunz_q/
Took NZ biscuits in for the coworkers today:
“What are those?”
“Squiggles and Toffee Pops.”
“...well that certainly clears things up.” 😂
Tomorrow’s treat: lolly cake.

For many years, I only ever visited SF in June and I thought Market St. permanently had the pride flags up. Had the amazing opportunity today to march in the Pride Parade. 🏳️🌈 #SFPride #ApplePride
Probably overdue but finally did a lockdown of all my old posts on Facebook that were public. Interesting rabbit hole. I seemed to wise up in 2013 or so and change my default setting to private. Not that anyone would care enough trawl back that far. Probably.
When you ask @iosaaron to bring you a ‘couple’ of boxes of Tiny Teddy’s from Australia. He outdid @thecolourfool ‘s efforts last year.
#WWDC draws to a close and friends all drift off home. It holds a special place in my heart for many reasons and I hope it was and an inspiring and productive week for all involved.
I had the awesome experience of welcoming and meeting so many #wwdcscholars at the student scholarship orientation today - all so passionate, eager to learn and excited to be here. Congratulations and have a great week!
My 24th week of pottery. 30 bowls later. I’m ready to move onto the next stage: a bigger bowl. 3lb to be precise.
Next on my list of attempting to see more of the U.S., I’ll be visiting: Chicago in July!✈️ As always, recommendations for things to do / see / eat / experience are welcome.
Today I got to tick ‘yoga with cats’ off my to do list. The cats didn’t really hold up their end of the bargain and mostly slept through it but I’m counting it.
