Into work early to do two more interviews for my assistant. Rest of the day was spent getting stuff wrapped up before I head off to UK next week.

Left at 5pm as I was tired and had a nice curry dinner at home.

We got up and later in the morning went to Kennards to collect a few bits we needed. We went to Chatswood Westfield in order to get Kate an Iphone 5, although we had to nip home ot pick up our marriage certificate to prove the name change. After that we went to the Chase to do some grocery shopping.

We had a relaxed evening with an Italian selection dinner and a Skype call to UK.

A lazy saturday and in the evening Kate and I went out for dinner at the Entertainment Quarter. Food was good at the restaurent but the service was crap. After dinner we went to the movies to see 'Trance' not a bad movie.

We got home and Bill and Carols dinner guests Maureen, Frank and Laurelle were still here so we caught up with them and then headed off to bed at about 1am after doing some washing up to help out.

Kate dropped me to the station as it was raining this morning. Had a usual day at work and then caught the train to Circular Quay to meet Kate who drove in. we went to see The Counting Crows at the Opera House. Was a fairly good gig although a bit of a rocked up version of their earlier stuff. We had pretty good seats near the stage.

Back to work, woke up early for a Monday due to yesterdays clock change. Walked in and spent day doing normal things. Starting to prep for info night later in the week.

Caught train home and walked home, alas with the clock change it was quite dark, still cannot get a grasp on lack of street lighting on Aussie suburban roads.

Got up early and headed out to checkpoint 2. Walked the 1.5km to the Calna Creek to asses the damage. Results can be seen below, basically the tree trunks have snapped in the middle.

Drove home to change before going into the office as I was soaked.

Spent rest of day at work trying to figure out a plan if bridge is not fixed.

Drove home in the evening and relaxed.

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Nine

Tuesday April 2nd

Back to work after a lovely Easter Break. All going well until message from Parks Representatives that one of our bridges on the trail has been destroyed over the weekend (possibly by high tide and heavy rain). This effectively cuts off one of our checkpoints. Will go an look at it in the morning to make an assessment.

Headed home at 5pm and relaxed in evening.

Day One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Eight

Monday April 1st

No April fools gags on this blog. A leisurely morning and a trip to Chatswood Chase to change one of the presents Kate bought me for my Birthday. We grabbed some lunch there too and then in the afternoon we did some chores at home. We also spent some time adding soil to our plants in the pots in the garden we have here as they need a bit of nutrition.

Quiet night at home.
