Last night it was cold enough that I wanted my heater and slept under two extra blankets. There was a slight chill in the air when I first surfaced. Today, for Good Friday, Wellington turned on one of the glorious autumn days she can do so well.

I opened the doors to the deck wide and barbequed saussages for lunch. It was ridiculously hot all afternoon. By 5.00pm, the chill was back, the lounge doors closed again and the heat pump used as a heater in the lounge while maudlinrose and I watched XXX (I've been in an action movie mood lately).

Following fajrdrako's example, I thought I might post a few random photos I took from the deck today.

It's kinda ridiculous how much I've been looking forward to this weekend; not because of the religious aspects that I believe in, but because I've been desperately looking forward to not having to be at work for four days.

It's not that I don't like my job; I do. It's not that it's particularly stressful, because I don't think it is. But there are lots of things that are way down my to-do list, and the pile of files to be archived, which is at the bottom of that list - well, I'm running out of space under my desk to put the damn things. My desk hasn't been properly clear for weeks!

One of my lawyers is away next week - what do you rate my chances of having any extra time to get such work done?

There's another day of doing nothing tomorrow. And then I have two more days of that. Bliss.
