Waking up at 05:00 to confirm the Upgrade Program preorder of my iPhone 11 Pro Max (256 GB, midnight green) is much easier for me than midnight. I often wake up at 05:00 anyway. But hey, noon would be even better. Anyway, done; delivers Sep 27 - Oct 1.

Continuing my Throwback Thursday series on the house we had built in NZ in 1998, an old map of Albany that doesn’t have the subdivision (house location marked with an X near the center) or other developments, plus a news article and aerial shot of the area. #ThrowbackThursday
