So, I’ve been working a lot lately. Up before the sparrows begin farting, and in bed before much of the good TV starts. Yay me
This weekend was pretty good. It really started Friday night I suppose, with a CEBS wide-game (a game in a park - wide boundaries, hence the name) which was really quite a cool game. There were 2 roaming leaders - one with a whistle and a bag of scarves, and the other with a torch and a score card. You had to find the man with the whistle, which he only blew every 2 minutes, get a scarf from him, and then get to the man with the torch before getting caught by other players without scarves. If you were caught, then the two of you went into “combat” - one quick hand of paper scissors rock. If you lost that, then you handed over the scarf, and the tenet “can’t get the butcher back” reigned. Quite a bit of tactics involved really, because some unscarved people would hide behind trees and ambush you as you neared the torchman. Good game, lots of running, and we made it up ourselves.

Saturday was an early morning water activities day at Wivenhoe Dam. We had 4 canoes, 2 windsurfers, and a little catamaran. Windsurfing is hard, and I didn’t go very far - mostly just a few feet into the water. Sadly, I left there after only a few hours to prepare for the STAT test I was scheduled to do later that afternoon. Was a relatively easy test I think (multiple choice), and so I finished pretty early. They normally don’t let people out early, but they must’ve thought I was disruptive, and caved in.

Sunday as Dean mentioned was the breakfast at the gold coast. That was good. While we were there, Jake asked if Jess could borrow my guitar, and I would’ve obliged, had someone been home to hand it over to them. So instead, she used someone elses. I got home and went into town and met up with Jake, and we cruised around town, watching a didgeridoo player. He was quite the entertainer. I stayed at Jake’s last night, and had some of our homebrew - it’s pretty good, and quite alcoholic. We were both nicely tipsy after sharing 2 longnecks. Went straight to work from Jake’s this morning, and now I’m tired.

Hurry up and come home family… I’m hungry
