Not much uni work done today but at least I've ticked off a few more items - dropped off flattened boxes at work, picked up old bike temporarily stored there, printed out pathology referral, dropped off friend's forgotten item northside, grabbed a bit of potting mix to take back, dropped off the old bike at CERES, rushed back home as I'd left lunch there, back at uni, then popped out again to have my tyres looked at again because of the check tyre pressure light - turns out it just needed resetting.

Back now for about two hours before I just go have drinks at work or something and choof off home. Pretty chuffed that there is movement and progress

You definitely deserve a wind-down - have a lovely evening:-)

I'm pretty glad i got my TV set up last night, don't need to do anything tonight and can just blob out listening to tunes, maybe start a TV show

Wow. That’s a lot of stuff done in a day.

Well done.

Hope the weather isn’t wearing you down and drinks at the end will definitely help wind things down today.

I'm definitely a bit dusty but it hasn't been too bad as I did most of the physical stuff before 11am and been enjoying A/C either at uni or in the car most of the rest of the time. Found good shaded paths to walk for the most part.

I've had breakfast and lunch and am starting to feel hungry again though, damn. Will be having a big serving of dinner tonight. How are you holding up in this heat?

Oohh dusty. That’s not ideal at all. Lucky you did all the stuff before 11am because I think it really started to heat up after that.

What’s for dinner tonight?

I’m ok, especially more so because I called in sick thanks to my little cold.

Have had the AC turned on since the late morning and been on low cooling keeping it nice inside while I chill with pink moscato wine and ice.

Beautiful, yes the day to have chucked a sickie and enjoyed some AC at home. I think that'll be me tomorrow as well. Maybe head over to IKEA or Kmart for some storage ideas to make the tiny kitchen space work.

Dinner is defrosted super spicy Thai curry from the freezer with rice and Thai broccoli slaw I bought on Wed. I stuffed myself with corn chips at the office just now so I'm not as hungry thankfully.
