A day in the life of....

This morning I took the HD3QBEM with me on a thirty minute trip north to the maximum security prison and faced down the cameras (many of them) at the entrance, before being permitted to enter and to have my "criminal record" searched.   The camera checked us again as we left.   I wondered what happens if they cannot verify the faces within a thirty minute time span?  Paremoremo Prison didn't look a particularly inviting stay!

And in the afternoon we went out west (only twenty minutes drive this time) to have the drug and alcohol test .   Such a nice looking young male nurse and so personable!   I was perfectly composed until he told me I needed to leave the toilet door open while I provided the sample.   You try it!   Despite the two full glasses of water before leaving home, it was very hard to relax and provide.   But once the deed was done results were instant and the all clear was given.

So I have crossed off two items on my non-existent bucket list.   Visiting a high security prison and successfully passing a drug test must surely rank high on any list.
For the past weeks I have been wondering why a couple of dresses weren't fitting well and consulted the scales this morning.   I was delighted to find that I have lost two kilo since leaving work.   So now I am off to the gym to assist in the loss of a couple more:-)
