I ran for the first time in a week today, 5k at an easy pace. I feel fantastic! I’m optimistic about a good finish in the 8k race on Sunday.

Currently drinking my first Mountain Dew in… god… YEARS. My taste buds are saying “no” but my brain is saying OHHHH YEAHHHHHH.

When I listen to James, suddenly I’m a 20-year-old uni student in London all over again…

The heavens have opened. Thunder CRASH! Lighting FLASH!

Pub. Pub pub pub pub pub.

ARGH. Spent whole ride to work sending furious complaint email to Sydney Buses about drivers on 461 & 480 routes. I am officially a crank.

Snook just reported blackout at his office in Circ Quay. Anybody else?

Oddly looking forward to getting to work and organising my tasks for the week. Productivity nerd!

successfully drove herself all over Sydney this morning. The only drama was right at the very end. (Note to other Sydney drivers: If ‘CAR SHARE’ is painted on a parking space and you don’t know what that means, YOU CAN’T PARK THERE.)

Sitting on my front steps waiting for the Knitting Retreat convoy to arrive. Why, yes, that is a box of Banrock! I’m classy like that.
