A good day.

Sunshine. Good company, Good food. Good conversation. A walk along the Yarra. A couple of drinks at a bar on the river and more talking. The Elephant and Wheelbarrow. Matt's confusing new hairstyle. Dan and Sarah and plans for debauchery on Friday with Spaniards. More good conversation. Truth for truth. The world's prettiest not-couple.

Yep. Good day. Now for sleep, and my second last week of work.

Another of those 'warming up to being at work and awake" memes.

Also because I have only the one finding, and that's one of the easy ones. Shall have to check if the mail's come in shortly and see if there's any more. At least I don't have to fight the work experience person for work this week. ;)

Timeless

I forgot my watch this morning. It's a rather unsettling feeling.

And so it begins...

Packed my first bag today. As in, bag that's coming with me to Canada. Mainly so I can get an idea of how much space I'm going to have, how much stuff I'm going to have to mail, that sort of thing. The answer? More than I thought - winter clothes take up space. Mind you, my hiking pack (as opposed to the travelling Backpack of Doom) is a good one for stuffing to the gills. Got all my jumpers/warm stuff in there, plus one of the CD cases and several books, plus the climbing harness and shoes (like I'd trust those to the mail!), the little metal lunchbox [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] gave me that I keep my jewellery in, and my makeup kit (very small *g*). Oh, and two pairs of shoes.

It's heavy, but that one's actually more comfortable to carry than the other, being designed for proper multi-day hiking. It's got this lovely padded bit on the lower back...

I'm going to have to send a lot of my lighter weight work gear over by mail once I'm done with the actual work thing (nine more working days to go, whee!), since yeah, there's no way it's going to fit in Leonard, as Tardis-like as the Backpack of Doom might be. But I can probably get away with a few shirts and a pair of pants and the skirts I've already packed, at least for the first couple of weeks of work. Especially since I'm hoping for a couple of weeks off first to settle in. *wry* Nine years of working in a fairly stressful job (or stressful between bouts of boredom, since yeah, not a lot doing today again) demands at least some time off. Besides that whole changing countries thing. ;)

The other can wait until after the furniture goes - this Sunday coming up, must remember to get a time off my brother - but yeah, made the move. And most of my stuff for storage is packed, except what I'm, y'know, using.
