I hardly got to do any running before the holiday due to ongoing foot pain. I managed to get through one Lilydale Lake park run without causing any more problems, Dave turned up too and gave it a go. So I'm a bit worried about losing all my running endurance, not to mention general health and fitness deteriorating.
I've stopped watching my shares on a regular basis because they just keep going down, and if the ASX goes down then every company goes down the same amount without exception, this still makes no sense to me...
Amir passed on free tickets to an AFL match between Carlton vs. North Melbourne, otherwise I wouldn't have gone because Carlton are so bad - they even ended up last. The game was as good as could have been I suppose, close until the third quarter then they fell away.
Going on holiday meant a good break from work for three weeks. I did get stuck going on-call right before which wasn't the best, I had false alarms (at least they weren't real incidents) almost every night, but thankfully they were all during normal waking hours!
No time for baking this month because I was busy with the last of the holiday planning and didn't want too bake food that wouldn't get eaten in time.
I thought I had been away on holiday every year recently during my birthday, but turns out I was wrong:
- 2011 - London, England
- 2012 - none
- 2013 - returned from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on August 25
- 2014 - return from Taipei, Taiwan on August 22
- 2015 - Dublin, Ireland
So I was sort of close. The to do list got a couple of important tasks completed:
- Holiday
- Spent so many hours on planning, maybe it was all worth it...
- House Repairs
- Got the bathrooms and garage walls fixed up at last
- Laptop
- Just got the SSD installed before the holiday
Now for the summary:
- Books
- Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King
- Good story told from two perspectives
- Final showdown dragged on a bit
- 7 out of 10
- Movies
- Nothing
- Music
- Nothing
- TV
- Room To Escape
- A cool new reality show with escape rooms
- Some challenges are too hard
- Some contestants are just too stupid as well
- Only six episodes, hopefully they make more
- 8 out of 10
- Video Games
- None
