Denouement Diaries

Essentially the ramblings of two adults that probably require adult supervision.

As usual, follow along at:

Anyway, let's get into it:

This day was sort of spent either in a plane or in an airport.
Maybe the crossover from Doha, into the air, then landing in Denpasar.
I feel old.
I'm too large for general plane seats.
Should fly business.
Too poor for business class.
Anyway, we landed in Denpasar.
Hopped off the plane.
Then did the annoying Indonesian immigration dance.
Casey already had her 'work visa' for the pole retreats she will be working at.
I tried to do the 'e-Visa' days ago but the website wouldn't work....because Indo.
But I knew I could just do Visa on arrival.
Line up. Go to tap card to pay for it. "Sorry card machines not working".
Go to ATM. Get cash.
Rejoin line. Get Visa.
Casey already through immigration by this point.
Join immigration line that was apparently full of dyslexic, blind and deaf individuals.
Took forever.
Then out to Casey and we found our driver, Matt, who is lovely, waiting for us.
Short drive to the little villas that the staff of the pole retreats were staying at, along with Luke the freeloader...
Then showers and sleeps...because it was about midnight by this point

Sleep in.
Chill morning.
Wandered down in to Seminyak to find somewhere for breakfast.
Went to 'Beach Bowl Bali Seminyak' for some French toast and coffees.
Wandered back through the streets.
Got some water and snacks on the way back to our little villa.
Organised an E sim card for Casey while sitting around the pool.
Casey booked a studio hire and took a Grab moped to go and train for a while.
I grabbed a coffee and read for a while.
In the evening we wandered to Grill'd for some burgers.
Got some frozen yoghurt on the way back.
Where we ran in to all the girls on the way back from the current week's retreat farewell dinner on mopeds.
So Casey did some baby practice on a modped in the villa driveway.
She is awful on a moped...
Then chilled and watched the rest of 'The Lego Movie' that we hadn't finished from Denmark.

Bad sleep for me - maybe a little jet lag caught up with me.
So I was up early and had a quick dip then went and grabed some coffees.
Came and woke up Casey then we wandered to find some breakfast at 'Dua Sisi Kitchen'.
Casey took a Grab from there to go and train some aerials.
I wandered back and grabbed a coffee on the way.
Sat by the pool. Swam. Sunbaked. Is hot.
Casey grabbed some iced coffees on the way back.
Chilled by the pool some more.
Then went and found some lunch at 'Neon Palms'. Was good.
And wandered back via some shops for Casey to grab some togs and I grabbed a singlet.
And some more coffees and waters on the way home.
In the afternoon I watched some 'Archer' (new season) in the aircon, Casey read.
Then we did some horrific Acro nonsense that wasn't particularly successful...
Got some noodles and dumplings delivered for dinner.
Is good.

Went and had breakfast at the little local cafe at the end of the street - which I think is called 'Coffee Cartel' - smoothie bowl and brekkie burger.
Then chilled around the pool.
Casey started doing some pole retreat hosting duties today.
So was organising some things.
I pottered and did some reading.
Wandered up to 'Baked Seminyak' for my next coffee and pastry stop. Is good,
Did a bit of work stuff.
Read.
Sun.
Went for a walk in the afternoon for more coffee and snacks.
Finished the new season of 'Archer' on Netflix. Gonna have to start 'One Piece' under Kayla's recommendation.
Did not start 'One Piece'...
Started Season 2 of 'Good Omens'.
Casey was doing the welcome dinner for all the new pole retreat attendees so I got a burger.
Spilled it.
Cleaned up the carpet.
Kept eating.
Then Casey came back and we had some snacks, called home, had some zoomies - successful acro.

Casey is fully in to the Pole Retreat schedule now so left early for the breakfast.
I am loving my new role as house husband.
Went and grabbed a coffee and brekkie burger and had breakfast by the pool.
Then wandered to find another Bali cafe - found 'The Rock Cafe Seminyak'.
Really nice coffee and lovely staff.
Then back via 'Baked' for another.
Then did a bit of locum organising.
Had a swim.
Burgers for lunch.
Chilled in the afternoon.
Had some iced coffees with Casey when she had a break.
In the evening went out for dinner with Casey to get some Balinese food. Was spicy. Casey aspirated. Nearly coughed to death. Was funny.

Slept in while Casey got moving early for the retreat jobs.
I walked myself to 'Shelter Cafe' for breakfast and some coffee and a smoothie.
More coffees on the way home.
Reading around the pool.
Finished my book on Genghis Khan.
Had some coffees with Casey when she had breaks.
Wandered around Seminyak in the afternoon.
Got myself a smoothie.
Started watching 'The Catcher was a Spy' because it is related to the next book I started reading.
In the evening when Casey was back we ordered some dinner, wactched the 'Fire Saga' Eurovision comedy on Netflix.
Then did some Acro zoomies.
Nearly killed Casey.

Casey had breakfast with the retreat.
But otherwise had a bit of a rest day.
So was back to have a coffee with me while I had a brekkie burger.
Then she headed off to a studio hire over in Canggu.
I met her over there when she was done.
Moped down to the beach.
Walked along the sand for a while.
Then went and found some cafes to have more smoothies and coffees.
Until she went back to the studio to do some more training stuff, photo shoot/whatever.
I got a Grab scooter back and had a swim and pottered.
May have had a couple of Brekkie burgers for lunch.
Casey came back in the afternoon.
And then she had sorted a little dinner date with Kathryn, one of the instructors on the retreat.
So I grabbed some snacks, got some food delivered, and started watching ‘One Piece’ on Netflix. Is great.

Stay tuned...
