And out the other side.

deathpixieI did pretty well today - woke up at 2pm instead of the usual 3.30 after the second night shift. The ride home was freezing cold, but actualy sort of pleasant - everything was very quiet, I had excellent traffic light karma on the bits I had to use the road (I went by the seafront bike path), and the activity was good for the switching off of the brain once I did get home. Since yeah, going straight to bed after work tends to involve a bit of lying there trying to get things to shut up long enough for me to sleep.
Gorgeous day out there today, so I went down to the Banff for breakfast. Yes, at 2 in the afternoon, but there you go with the shift work. No actual brekkie on, but they did do a egg and mushroom and tomato pizza for me (there's an egg and bacon pizza, but since I'm vegetarian, not so much with the pig meat). So there was sitting outside, eating, and then having a coffee and reading the latest Sean McMullen book Glass Dragons, which I'm really enjoying - Sean's letting his sense of humour come into play, and there's all sorts of sly little jokes. And because of the karate and fencing experience, you get action scenes that actually work - there's a dedication in the front to some of the Melbourne Uni karate and fencing guys for the help choregraphing. *snickers* I'm trying not to buy any new books or cds between now and Canada, but I had to make an exception for this one - I went into the shop looking for the second in the George R. R. Martin A Song of Fire and Ice series, but couldn't find it and found this instead. I'm rationalising that it's probably not in Canada yet and I'm supporting local authors. *g*
Now for more in the line of organising stuff. Stuff that can be done in the lounge room, since it's gotten on the chilly side since the sun went down and the heater's in here.
