Below is some random stuff, enjoy!

Earlier this afternoon I went for my first jog in ages. I mean ages: it was summer last time I went for a jog. Consequently my 2.7 km run around the nearby oval (twice) took a bit of effort. Could have done more (but not that much more), but didn’t want to push myself (was sick week before last, and getting rid of the cold this past week). My earlier idea of doing the bridge to Brisbane is off the agenda – not enough time to get vaguely ready for it. Next year - if I get my bum into gear early enough.

After a hot shower that was probably more than the 4 minutes recommended by the water saving people, I got out a winter (ie: thick) jumper – maroon, mum made. It’s great – warm: pitty it doesn’t get cold enough in Brisbane to wear it. She was up in town weekend before last to catch our concert (which went well). Afterwards I had coffee with friends, and picked an ad for Volunteering Queensland. I may help out somewhere. But probably not until next year. How I currently volunteer is stressing me out a bit (for two reasons: the time needed, and the way things have been asked of me to get things done). Which is a bit annoying.

Anyhow.

My toe is on the weird side of things. After my long (8 hour) walk a bit over a month ago, it was swollen (obviously bigger than my left big toe). Anyhow, it has been discoloured underneath since, and recently the nail has been a bit funny coloured in parts. Moral of the story – don’t do stupidly long walks.

Wednesday night sees my younger sister coming to town for a few days – taking Thursday and Friday off work so we can ‘hang’ and do stuff.

Last Saturday one of my rogaining team mates mentioned Geocaching – where people hide a small box of things, and then publish the coordinates of it on the web. Other people then try and find it using a hand held GPS receiver. It sounds like kind of fun – a treasure hunt – which is sort of like rogaining? – but not GPS receiver for me, so no fun.

I tried out Internet on my phone – it’s small, slow. Pointless when you have 500kbyte/s download at your house. Trying to think whether there’s anything on the internet that can’t wait at most half a day or so before you get back to your house? Maybe weather conditions?

Well, I should do some work on my assignment – need to work on a the layout (third question) part of the assignment. And plan two meals – one for Thursday (family friends plus sister), and a no yeast meal for a week or so after that. And clean out my inbox…
