The Week of 29 April - 3 May 2019

Exciting weekend for me: I saw Endgame on Thursday - OMG! Go see it! Pee first - during the commercials/trailers if you can - then settle in to have a fabulous time! Sip your pop. It's a three-hour tour de force (except for a couple of cringy scenes, but overall amazing). The audience I saw the show with really made the experience wonderful for me.

Then, it was the TC10K and I did my first timed race. I walked. Slowly. BUT, I finished it, and I liked it a lot. Will I do it again next year? Mebbe. Still decompressing from this year's.

And next up, Game of Thrones. This battle sequence is the longest ever filmed and the cast and crew survived 55 NIGHTS of filming - in snow, sleet, rain, hail... and dark. It's going to be amazing and I'll be in mourning for the week as a lot of my favourite characters will not make it through I'm sure.

Oh, and don't forget to check out my podcast: Mary Go Round, at Anchor.fm. This week I do a quick overview of the blog, give you a run-down (heh) of my TC10K experience, and then have a fabulous chat with my friend Liz who talks about being a woman in tech who codes and programs and suchlike. 

So - let's try to win some stuff, k?

Nanaimo

The Week of 15-19 April 2019

Happy Easter! A 4 day weekend comin' up! And TWO 4 day work weeks in a row - splendid! Well, if you get Monday off too, that is.

Here's my surprise - I'm doing a Podcast! It's called Mary Go Round and I have two more segments to do before I can drop it, but once I do, you can find it on anchor.fm until it gets sent out to your favourite podcast app. Essentially it'll be the same format each week - a quick intro, a segment about the contests you read about here but on the podcast, and then a conversation with a friend (different one each week) about something I find interesting about them. I have a lot of ideas for further casts, so if you find the first one kind of clunky, please give me another chance!

I'll drop one each Sunday once I've written the Blog and with luck, they'll be within an hour of each other when they drop. I'll post the link to the Facebook page and Twitter feed once I have it.

So - this week may be a little late getting out, but I hope to have next week's in the can for a quick release next Sunday. The 28th may be a little hard because I'm doing the TC10K so I'm not sure how quickly I'll recover.

The Week of 8-12 April 2019

So I have something in the works. Once it launches, I'll let you know about it and I'll give you a link so you can check it out if you so desire. I'm hoping to get it complete by next week.

While I love the sunny weather, I think we're going to hit a drought sooner this year than usual. I didn't think I'd hope for  more rain so soon after the huge storm that rolled through the other day... but now I am.
