Long Weekend

Though many people like to go away for long weekends, I'm far more inclined to be a home-body. It's quiet and relaxed. And so, I'm starting the third day of the Queen's Birthday Weekend with nothing much planned, aside from a very vague idea I'll go for a swim, and maybe engage in some more … Continue reading Long Weekend

Four Day Weekend

Even though it's Monday, the fourth day of a long weekend, I'm still doing some of my Sunday "ritual", such as catching up on my homework for Swedish class, and doing my clothes washing for the week ahead.

Long Weekend

"Your dog is so cute. Do you mind if I take a photograph?", I asked the group of three women, waiting for a bus on Oxford Street. "No worries", they said, as they helped to coax the reluctant hound from allowing me to take the shot. There was a lovely "long weekend" feel about the … Continue reading Long Weekend

Long Weekend

I had a long weekend. I took some seriously good drugs and I didn't go to work. The drugs were, in order, Cephalexin, Panadol and, best of all, Voltaren Rapid. Oh my goodness, that has got to be the best drug ever. The pain relief was necessary to deal with the sebaceous cyst I have … Continue reading Long Weekend

Long Weekend

Do you know how hard it is to buy a screw driver in Surry Hills on a Sunday morning? I woke early yesterday, and while having a cup of coffee and reading email, my computer went bung. The floppy disc had failed, and so I wasn't even able to reboot it. Needing to remove the … Continue reading Long Weekend

Long Weekend

Last night I had a late night meal at The Tropicana with Colin and Andrew. As we sat on the footpath watching "the young folk" head off to Kings Cross in their shorts and thongs (yes, thongs), I tucked into a tasty chicken rissole dish with a bolognese sauce, which was excellent. The reason we … Continue reading Long Weekend
