Woke up this morning and it was pouring rain- and I dead set CHEERED! Because I could be cycling, swimming, running, walking and kayaking- but all I need is a day of nothing. Work has been out of control and I have done my share of 18 hour shifts all week culminating in a 2am taxi ride home on Friday morning (thankfully work paid the $110 fare) after doing raids all day. I was pretty happy to slide into bed and prepare for a 3 day weekend and not think about work for one second (until they rang me at 8am Friday morning).
Anyway, I got out Friday morning for a paddle with Vic- we did 4 hours in the Yarra (stinking tip) paddling past the detritus of Melbourne (if you have lost your inflatable row boat, brown couch, 200 tennis balls, the occasional football, 100 plastic bottles and bags I know where they are). Vic has been paddling alone and I think she enjoyed the company- I have barely trained since the Murray and I just enjoyed floating around).
When this rain clears I am going to Lysterfield Park for a run and a walk.
BIL didn’t notice the rapid decline in cheer, housework or sanity last week bless his soul, or if he did,he wisely chose to ignore it.
Went and saw Moneyball last night (don’t bother-it should be a midday movie at best) and then sat in a carpark in Glen Waverley until midnight waiting for the RACV then a tow truck for BIL’s car. The wait in the carpark was still more enjoyable than Moneyball. The downside is that BIL uses his car for work so now he uses MY car for work which means no kayaking Sunday

Bloody cars, they are a pain in the rear end aren’t they … but seriously what would we do without the good old RACV!
