The week from hell …

May 23, 2008

It certainly has been the week from hell at work …. and I have a feeling next week ain’t going to be any better, with some domestic travel included. It also looks like my replacement is not going to be in place until at least August, so it looks like I’m doing my new job and my old job for another two months. Oh, well that’s enough whinging about work – it’s the weekend after all.

I went for a run with Alyssa after work, we did a 4.8km loop together at 5:18 min/km, then I did another 1.2km (600m out and back) to make it up to the equivalent of my 6km loop. I did this at a pretty quick pace, not sure how fast exactly, but it brought the overall average for the 6km back to 5:04 min/km.

Alyssa ran the next level of her cross-country yesterday up towards Mt Macedon. She was the first runner from her school home, and came 10th overall – a terrific effort.

We drove Kate and a friend into the MCG tonight for the Geelong vs Collingwood game, she’s going to be disappointed though, it looks like the Cats are getting their arses kicked!

Then Adrienne and I went out for tea, I had a nice Seafood Rissotto and a glass of red, very pleasant, but boring – I had the same thing last time I went to this restaurant!

Now settled down watching Good Guys Bad Guys on DVD – anyone remember that – it was Adrienne’s Mother’s Day present – a quite entertaining show from a few years ago. I’ve just made a nice cup of Lady Grey tea, which is really nice too (of course, I am not at all influenced by the fact that Nigella advertises it on TV).
