(In answer to your question, Dutchy: no I didn't watch the Saints play the Lions yesterday afternoon. But I did listen to the Hawks play the Cats (or the dying stages of the game, anyway) , on the way home from the country. I thought the ABC commentators might just wet themselves in the final quarter! Very, very close.)
Aw, sorry about the job interview, Reyn. Canceling 5 minutes before a scheduled interview is pretty low, if you ask me! Chin up, possum. Don't let the bastards get you down.
10:44 am, Sunday 11th July, Melbourne Oz.:
Allowed myself a sleep-in today after all the running around yesterday. Trying to get my head around waking up at 9:30. This feels quite odd.
It's a
ravishing, absolutely stunning day out there, though. The sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky & a predicted top temperature of 16 C degrees!
Yesterday went well. (Despite the hours of travel, which I hate.) My mother remembered who I was (after a few helpful reminders
) & got an opportunity to talk (at length!) in Ukrainian. That always gets her going!
And a friend provided me with a splendid dinner, figuring I'd be too tired to cook after all the driving. She was absolutely right.
Today: getting last minute things done before school starts again tomorrow. (This is going to be quite a shock to the system!) I'll be replacing an absent teacher for the first 4 weeks. Happily for me, not full-time, 4 days each week. That's the absolute maximum number of days I want to work at the moment.
