The wind finally calmed down today allowing a run in reasonable conditions, that is, without having to hold on to your hat with one hand, or looking at your feet all the time to stop the hat going backwards fast.
No bike ride from work, too much on among the group. We are having a spill of shifts and going through the picking of new shifts process. Overall, a three week exercise, and important as it sets your work load for the next period until the time management want or need to change the bus network. Sometimes that can be six months, not often, and mostly a year or more.
After a cuppa and chat, I went out to get in a few unplanned kms. After Tuesday's near disaster, better yesterday over a short journey, today was a welcome relief to feel Ok, run Ok, and be able to enjoy a few hours out away from it all. Road works behind the depot meant a different but similar course, just getting there was a problem. Basically, find a track that lead to the river, keep the river close , turn around near civilization, finish at the beach at Pine Is for 15 minutes in the cool water, then jog back to work in time for a shower, finish the contents of the esky (food) and drive to Woden by 3 pm. Easy. Great day,very enjoyable.
Pressure on tomorrow (Friday) to find a good split shift, just need 4 hours off in the middle of the day, not much work in the morning, not much more in the afternoon, no schools runs, or afternoon peak services that go through the city, too many people. Shouldn't be a problem, don't want to finish work later than 7 pm either.
