It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas



Hey;

Either my work related insomnia is catching up with me, or the conversation was boring. Either way on Friday night at an end of year Kindergarten parents drinks session, I was yawning by 9pm and asleep at home on the couch by 9:30. The lovely Samantha hung around and made the most of the social event, in fact bringing home company…a not so friendly hangover.

Saturday was a real scorcher - 36 degrees and humid as hell. We did our best to stay indoors. Being the 1st of December, we put up our bloody big Christmas tree. Each year I make the same joke about Martin Place wondering where its giant tree is. The furniture needs to be re-arranged to accommodate it and all I can say is thank God for 10 foot ceilings. Bodhi was giddy with delight, quite beside himself really, insisting on wearing fake antlers to harness the yuletide decorator within. Paper chains are big this year.

Sunday was thankfully cooler and suffering from Saturday’s cabin fever, we went for a day trip to Manly Dam. What an awesome place! Picnic, BBQ areas, swimming, and several kilometres of nature trails – bloody brilliant! Such is the terrain that you’d be forgiven for thinking you were stuck somewhere in the Aussie scrub rather than surrounded by urban sprawl.

Home to much procrastination about training (triathlon coming up this weekend). Pro triathletes supposedly don’t train in the final week before an event…at least I think I heard that somewhere.

Wish me luck,
Minas.
