Dear postal services, HOW is it that you managed to deliver my bike stand to me minus ALL the bolts required for assembly and with one part of the cardboard tube looking like a T Rex used it for a chew toy under perfectly intact plastic? Did you somehow imagine I wouldn't miss the bolts in an unassembled piece of furniture if you wrapped it in plastic? Absolutely mind boggling. At least you spared me the whole "We can't leave a delivery notice at your house because you might not have a mail box" thing this time... Owlie, I swear your postal service and mine need to be friends.

Dear self, it's time to take a proper weekend break this week. Working from home through 2 weeks of annual leave and through two weekends without a break can actually kill. Oh and delegate some of the darn work, you have a teaching partner for a reason.
