Yesterday I went into the CBD to collect comics, DVD's and Books. I remembered I needed some batteries so I stopped and browsed at an Officeworks. There was a new Device that I didn't know existed but feel is definitely useful if not needed, The double headed Flash Drive, USB on one side, micro-USB on the other. FYI :D
I enjoyed it but not as much as the original.
Found two new anime that I like quite a lot "Record of Grancrest War" and "Death March to Parallel World Rhapsody"
I bussed in the first day and had a dizzy spell on the bus when returning home. I think it was caused by dehydration causing a blood pressure drop.... I think! It could also have been low blood sugar but there's no way to tell and the last time they checked I went through a battery of tests with no diagnosis. I had another small...

.... doesn't just involve cooking the pork perfectly and getting good crackling it also involves getting crispy but soft roast vegetables. I only missed by a smidgeon, the veges weren't quite crisp enough.
On Friday I went to the work christmas function although I'm still on holidays. I mean it was "free" food, amirite? I left after three hours because my anxiety levels had started...

.... made it all the way through "Fringe". I have "Legion" to watch but that's merely a season and I caught the first 4 episodes of that on the flight to NZ. So what did I get upto this week other than watching Fringe or playing ESO? Nothing other than trying out a couple of early access games on steam. Oh, and buying multiple pairs...

So one of the things I got hooked on while in NZ was "Fringe". The entire series was in amongst the items I obtained when I returned, like the 10-15 other DVD's (inc. "Guardians"), the new coffee machine, 8 books etc. I have just managed to catch up with where I left off in NZ where I saw half of season 3. One unexpected issue...

5AM start. 7AM Taxis, 10:40 Flight. Watched "Atomic Blonde", "Valerian and the City of a thousand planets" and "Dunkirk". I really liked "Atomic Blonde"
On Monday I went and watched "Bladerunner 2049". On Tuesday I went and explored the Auckland localities of Newmarket and Ponsonby. On Wednesday I went into the CBD and wandered a little as a farewell.
So Monday I went off and explored "Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life", a local aquarium. There I discovered that I get slightly nauseous in diffused bright blue lighting *facepalm*.
On Wednesday, I went to Mangere Mountain which was the site of a Maori "Pa" (ie Stronghold). It's another dormant volcano (Auckland sits over 20 of them), one which has three Caldera two with tholoids.
On Thursday...

So I only wandered about Greater Auckland on Monday, Tuesday and Friday, having read or watched anime for the other days. On Monday I went and watched "Thor: Ragnarok", I was quite amused by the use of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Music in it. On Tuesday I went back to wander in the CBD. I bought 5 enamelled shot glasses while wandering all around...

So last Sunday I got settled in and then walked down the road looking at and taking photographs of road construction. Then I did a lot of reading. On Monday I took a bus to a large shopping centre/mall and bought a lightweight jacket. I also just wandered about and took several more photos of roads. Upon return to my Aunts I read books :)....

So I spent the first couple of days in a hotel simply because I flew in at hell o'clock in the morning on a week day and didn't want to cause my relatives issues. I organised a local mobile connection and broadband, then strolled around the CBD looking at the differences between Perth and Auckland. There are a lot of them. While it has a...
