Day in the life of practical missions

6h15      – Grudgingly wake up.

6h25      - Get out of bed and go on Pokémon Go inspired morning run (and ironically hatched and Slowpoke, I think my phone is trying to tell me something).

7h00      - Make a quick breakfast and the more important coffee, back into bed, quite time.

7h40      - Get out of bed again, into work clothes, bathroom break, onto bicycle and of to the building site I go.

8h15      - Start work, painting wall what can only be described as Hulk green. I like painting.

10h30    - Coffee break.

11h00    - Back to work, painted for 10 min before called to next job, taking down scaffolding. Now there is a scary job. While moving I got call from Wayne about some coffee related stuff. Phone call on site with all the noise, fail.

13h00    - Lunch break, glad to be alive. Go to bank to make a quick payment for parts for our espresso machine. One teller, this is taking forever.

13h25    - Finally my turn, teller asks me why I wrote my ID number instead of phone number in the contact details, I realise I am scary tired.

13h35    - Back on site. Tannie Erna made lunch, they dished a plate for me, so happy, till I drank my tea and found out I put salt into it and not sugar L

13h50    - Told it is back to painting once I am done eating. On my way to painting get told back to taking down scaffolding. Take down more scaffolding from the dodgiest constructed part seen yet.

15h20    - Back to painting, our rollers is gone, hunting for something to paint with. Wish I can go home.

15h55    -That is it going home. Look lightning and thunder, perhaps going home a bit faster on bike a good idea.

16h15    - Home. No rain yet.

16h20    - Shower time, still amazed and grateful when warm water flows from tap.

17h05    - Starting to heat up the coffee roaster to do some roasting.

20h00    - Done roasting, time to think of dinner. Sad dinner, some sausage on bread and cup of tea. Read some news while eating, does not look like SA is rated high for the up and coming test series against NZ.

21h00    - Think I have been staring at PC screen for last 10min with nothing being read. Bed time.

21h15    - In bed starting to write this blog.

21h20    - Snap, remembered I had to do the invoices. Do invoices.

21h40    - Back to blog.                   

22h15    - That is it, done, sleepy time now.
