Not much going on here - I was feeling a bit unwell yesterday so stayed home and slept - back to work today and that is about the degree of excitement for the week. Number two son is doing a stand up comedy competition today that he has expressly forbidden us to attend ... and number one son is buried in preparation for test week that starts next Friday.
He had to be in Sydney on Sunday for the day so instead of just popping him on the bus like usual I volunteered to drive him - leave at 6.30 to get there by 10, and leave again about 3.30 to be home by 7. It's easy driving usually but Sunday it was PELTING DOWN with rain. Absolute torrents until we get about an hour from home, then it stops, because it never rains in Canberra, even when we need it.
Anyway the reason I volunteered was because he had to be in Alexandria, which mostly a light industrial area and has heaps of proper factory outlet stores. So I walked very damply from shop to shop with occasional cafe stops, and had a lovely day. There was no-one else about because the weather was so atrocious and many of the roads were flooded, which suited me fine. Contemplative bargain shopping, the best sort.
And did you buy anything or was it entirely contemplative?
