Monday, 7 November

I had a great sleep in until 10am. It was needed. My room mate came back woke me up, but I thought it was time to get up anyway. The change in times due to day light savings being over really threw off my sleeping patterns, but regardless it was nice to get some sleep.

I had to wash my sheets again, so I put on a load and then went and changed my flat tire. This time it was the front tire. I now know the chaps at the bike shop so well they donate the tube to my bike. They are friendly and I don't mind spending time in their changing my flat tires all the time!

I rode over at 11am to meet the members from my change mgmt group at the Bike Coop as we are doing our project on their business. We had a quick tour of the store before asking questions about what was working and what wasn't. We collected our thoughts over a coffee at Starbucks across the road.

I rode back and had a light lunch. Sometimes they have pita bread rolls filled with cucumber and feta and they were very tasty. I went back to my dorm and had a sleep, before waking up with the plan of running the stadium again. I opened my windows to dark clouds (it was sunny when I went to bed!) and opted, against all of Sam's banter, to stay here and run it on Wednesday. I was actually disappointed because I was really looking forward to it.

I worked on my video and then caught up with Hannah and Lex while they got ready for their 'sorority' meeting later than evening.

I finished my video from the bungee jump and uploaded it to youtube:

I caught up with Lucas at 5pm for our chest and triceps session. We had a great workout. We came back and had a good feed a Lapo before I headed back to the dorms to do some work. Because day light savings was over, it was now pitch black at 6pm which was very daunting. The days were getting shorter. I guess it meant I would have more sleep, but it was hard knowing that back home the sun is only becoming hotter and the days are getting warmer and longer.

Hannah wanted me to coming to flying star ( the location where Joy bought that amazing cheery and rhubarb pie we had at Abby's birthday) so I had to say yes. I was only wearing my flip flops and purple shorts and a jacket, but still went out in the cold. She was all dressed up from her meeting so it was slightly awkward if you were to care about dress.

Becca was in the car, and I decided to drive. It was a Subaru outback so I felt like I was back home, except everything was opposite!

I ordered a strawberry and rhubarb pie with a scoop of strawberry ice cream. It was expensive but tasted great. I should have bought the whole pie - would have been more economical.

I made it home and had an early night. I set my alarm for 9 hours time... I was looking forward to a quiet nights sleep.
