My day

Kept hitting the snooze button for half an hour until I was awake enough to jump out of bed and into the shower. I shave while in the shower as it is both fast and easy. Fed the cat then it was on my bike to come to work. No idiots in my path today, so I managed to get a good ride. Racing the cars at the end is exhilarating, they weren't too slow today.

At work I checked my email, then had a shower to rinse the sweat off. Ate breakfast at my desk and made a coffee using the last of my coffee. (I hate Harris Special, which is the coffee provided here.)

Moved cubicles (highlight of the week) to one about 10 metres away. Now that side of the room is empty and I'll hear what the developers are working on.

Walked up the road to get lunch, and a flat white. (Very popular in NZ, it's like a latte without the foam). Ate lunch at my desk and enjoyed the coffee. Responded to some messages.

Had a call from a bank looking for my account number. I confirmed it was genuine and that someone who owed me money was putting it into my account. I looked later and saw it wasn't all he owes.

Changed clothes and left work at 4pm, biked home, passing a few cars where it gets congested. Home by 4:20. Juiced a beetroot and a couple of pears, not a good combination. No staining by the beetroot, unlike my white curtains after recently having someone accidently empty a large full glass of red wine over them.

Currently cooling down and responding to messages as the mince thaws for dinner. I'll have a shower as soon as this is finished and I'll prepare dinner, bolognaise, for David and me before going to see The Chronicles of Riddick at 6:20.
