Over 13,000 steps today and over 11,500 yesterday while not feeling 100%. Walked through bits of the Streets of South Caulfield, Elsternwick, Brighton, and Gardenvale. (Off work for a few days)

Great stuff, well done.

I much prefer when people contact you and ask if you're interested in a job rather than having to apply.

Thanks Stui, it was actually on the back of applying for another job a short while ago. I got really good feedback and apparently it got around how well I interviewed and what a good candidate I'd be.

Most importantly I can escape to NSW very easily if Dan gets back into power :wink: :lol:

Had another day off work still feeling queasy. So after two days of walking rode to South Frankston and back. Stopped for a coffee at Mordialloc on the way back: about 75 km’s all up. Sat in the sun for a good 15-20 minutes. Then a tailwind home

Good day. Daughter called over for dinner, the lamb roast went well. Fkn yum.

Her partner had her first AZ shot this morning as she's going to be working in hotel quarantine soon, she was feeling a bit off so didn't come.

So nice to actually see the daughter in person and so happy with the person she's becoming. The brains took a while to really kick in but bloody hell they have

hah,

change the front door locks, that'll give her the hint :P

I'm enjoying a working from home Monday. No meetings today so I've gone casual. I usually put on work clothes as if I was going to the office, at least from the waist up. Today I've gone the tracky dacks, slippers and pullover.
