The week of 2013/02/25 – 2013/03/03
I’m in need of a break…
Monday: Reviewed car insurance details, first wash of the new car, Thai takeaway, admin, wasted time on the net, reading.
Start of a trial of getting one hour less sleep each night – from about 7.5 hours to 6.5. Sometimes too much sleep is bad for you. In that hour I intend getting a bit done on my programming pet projects.
Tuesday: Gym, started writing up the writing bureau restoration process with the occasional photos I took. Might make it to a blog post.
Wednesday: Maynardville carnival, fun as always. Sampled the usual assembly of foods: poffertjies, chile con carne, sweet and sour pork, waffles, Grolsch, Guiness. Next year I should give more attention to the Austrian stall.
Thursday: Gym, admin, reading.
Friday: Sub 35 minute evening climb up Lions Head. Watched some Walking Dead.
Saturday: New sunglasses from Rapid Sports – that shop rocks. Lunch and browsing at the two Tokai markets, relaxing day.
Sunday: Up early for a mtb ride in Tokai. Can’t really call it a forest anymore given the amount of deforestation going on. Grocery shopping, family time, dinner at Vintage India, Gardens for my moms birthday.
Kia Rio initial irritations:
- surprisingly heavy on petrol;
- bucket seats make my neck and shoulders tense;
- headlights not as effective as I’d expect;
- little logic to the warning buzzers (seatbelt – yes, petrol low and lights left on – no);
- cheap feel to the certain parts, e.g. the rear boot tray;
- my Thule clip-on bike rack doesn’t fit (this makes me especially unhappy).
