Christmas Review

This is a quick Christmas report. I think I did the same in 2013 and last year I just had a Perth holiday report, so this will be a combination of the two.

  • December 25
    • We had a restaurant dinner yesterday instead, so not big celebration meal today
    • In the afternoon I finally got a chance to watch Star Wars
      • The movie was good but I had to sit through uncomfortable leg pains
  • December 26
    • Started with shopping, standard stuff, didn't attend any Boxing Day special events
    • I watched some of the NBA Christmas Day games that were playing all day
    • Since I've been struggling with a leg injury for a few days my only option for exercise was a gym session
    • I watched Paranormal Activity 5 which didn't quite rival Star Wars, pretty much a waste of time
  • December 27
    • Back to the gym again
    • Watched the BBC Match Of The Day boxing day episode
      • Better than usual because it had all ten matches
    • Lots of house cleaning
    • Finished planning for a short holiday trip from December 29-31
      • I was considering not going due to my leg pain
  • December 28
    • I watched the NFL red zone early in the morning, they switch between all games when something is about to happen
    • Back to the gym again
    • Continued on with the live NFL games later in the day
    • More house cleaning
    • Packing for the holiday
  • December 29
    • Drive to Halls Gap, see the holiday report for more details
  • December 30
    • Driving around the Grampians, see the holiday report for more details
  • December 31
    • Drive home from Halls Gap
    • Catch up on another BBC Match Of The Day and NFL
    • Back to the gym after two days off - besides lots of walking
  • January 1
    • Started playing some old NES games, beginning with Mega Man 4
    • The car needed a good clean inside and out after the trip to the country side
    • A couple of days after all the walking and my leg pain is getting much worse again
  • January 2
    • The leg pain didn't improve much overnight
    • Finished Mega Man 4 on NES
    • Also finished watching Mr Robot season one, a little disappointing
    • Tried swimming instead of going to the gym
      • My leg felt pretty good afterwards, but the pain returned later
    • I went to the Big Bash at the MCC
      • Melbourne Renegades vs. Melbourne Stars
      • Had to wait twenty minutes in the new security lines
      • Leg pain was really bad while sitting down, it seems to be the worse position for it
      • Over 80,000 crowd, the game was good
  • January 3
    • An extra long session at the gym without bringing on any extra pain I think
    • Another BBC Match Of The Day
    • Tried to have a relaxing last day before heading back to work
