Another week - over and out

Yep, another week has slipped by. When I sat down to write about the weekend I overlooked the fact that i was in poland this time last week. The last seven days included: one day in Krakow, one in Prague, two on a plane, two in the office and a weekend.

The weekend was cool. Managed to pack in quite a bit. Family BBQs, the beach, a community festival, dinner with friends, a great band. Then read the paper, practiced golf and a bit of work on Sunday. The beach was awesome. Freshwater again. It was overcast and grey but the water was warm. The water was choppy, with a great rip and there were only four of us out there but I loved it all the same. There is something about standing out in the surf, watching the waves roll in... something fierce and powerful about nature. Plus it was the perfect opportunity to then go for a few schooners at the local. That night it was off to the Annandale to see The Drones play to a packed out crowd. The Annandale is the awesome, dingy, epi centre of indie rock in Sydney. The Drones are a Melbourne band that play live wire pubrock/blues, a touch manic, loud, fast, frantic... loved it.

Something I have been thinking about of late is an excerise that asks you to write down the ten best things about the last week. it sounds a touch cheesey but in a way it is kind of cool. By the time Friday arrives I am pretty happy for a weekend... by the time the weekend is over I have normally forgotten what i did last monday... In a way it is an excercise to help slow the relentless march of time. Its about ten weeks till I head off to Qatar... time to see if I can pack 100 great moments in between now and then.
