Just been away from work on a holiday. It's been very relaxing, I didn't go away, but stayed around town and did some things I haven't done for a long time. Walked along part of the Crater Rim track, it was very hot and I got very tired. Had a swim at Corsair Bay on Show weekend Saturday, it was very hot and the water was not really as cold as I thought. I love watching people at beaches. Have you ever noticed that adults coming out of the water always towel their faces dry first before any other part of the body? People of Polynesian descent often rush headlong into the water, and get in straight away. People of European, especially English descent, get in slowly and gradually, making lots of moans and groans as they do so. Polynesian people expect that the water will be warm; European people expect that the water will be cold.
Guy Fawkes is long over but there's still daft morts letting off fireworks at night. Don't know why it should annoy me so much but it does.
Some of the earthquake damaged buildings around the city are being demolished. It's sad to see some of them go; others, you think "Well, it should have gone years ago". Hopefully something creative will replace the buildings, not just more car-parks, but I reckon cars will infiltrate silently and stealthily.
