tales from an ordinary world

1999-11-23

I got a lift into work with Droo this morning, and he mentioned about holidays, and how you feel differently about them as you get older. I guess he's right, although holidays don't seem to have gotten any better for me so far - I always feel as if I don't (can't ?) relax enough..."When I was much younger, my idea of a holiday was going and camping out in a tent at Lorne...nowadays, I've got enough money to get out of the country, which helps a bit..."

The Coles Supermarket in Balaclava has been undergoing renovations for a month or so now. They're still not finished, but I must say I rather enjoy the slight chaos - the occasional really narrow aisles that only let one person hurry down without turning around, the dire warning signs saying "don't go past here", and the seemingly random arrangment of products. The lighting's a bit hit and miss too, so you end up with a wonderfully post-apocalyptic feel.

It's a fairly low-energy week. Good things are happening, but I wish I had the energy to make the most of it.

Mmmm. The simple pleasure of a bath. How could I have forgotten about this for so long ?
