Today I got up and went to collect the grocery shopping. I didn’t have time on Friday when I usually do this, due to the ISO meeting, and I forgot to order early enough to pick up on Saturday.
After getting home and having some breakfast I went for my 5k run. Today was the day of the charity 7 Bridges Walk around Sydney Harbour, and the walk route goes very close to my place. I had to choose a running route that wouldn’t intersect too much with the hordes of walkers. Interestingly, at various points along my run, I could see (in the distance) a total of 5 of the 7 bridges: Sydney Harbour Bridge, Pyrmont Bridge, Anzac Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge, and Gladesville Bridge. It was a good day for the charity walk event, as the weather was mild and partly cloudy.
For my run I was surprised to record an achievement on Strava, my fastest 2 mile time. I didn’t keep it up though, as my 5k time was good but not among my best times.
After I had a shower to freshen up I got stuck into marking the image processing assignments for the university course I’m tutoring. This was several hours of work, and I only finished just before dinner. I made a quiche with pumpkin and asparagus for dinner.
And now… tomorrow I have a full day off when I can relax and do nothing work-related! It’s usually my busiest day with online ethics classes, but since I cancelled a week of them to fit in my ISO meeting, I have none tomorrow, and will restart on Tuesday. The weather tomorrow looks decent, so I might spend a day out with Scully somewhere.
Oh! Also today we let Scully do another painting. This is a “dog painting” kit we got some time ago from my sister-in-law. We did the small canvas a while back, but finally decided it was time to do the larger one. You smear it with paint, seal the canvas in a plastic ziploc bag, the outside smeared with peanut butter, and then let Scully go to town licking it. Here’s what she painted:
