Holiday
I'm on leave! For the first time since last Christmas. Two whole weeks. Mmm, nice.
I'm cycling, seeing movies, reading... and yes, getting a bit more sleep than I might otherwise manage. All good, since my last health check-up warned that my blood pressure and cholesterol and waist need some better management than I've given them lately. I bought a blood pressure monitor and the first few readings were similar to the doctor's reading (high, approaching hypertension and heart disease territory) but the last few have been much better, almost to the point where I doubt the machine's accuracy. But if it keeps telling me my blood pressure is OK, then clearly holidays agree with me and I need to take more of them.
And since I felt the need to really get away and be somewhere different for a few days, next week I'm off to Broome. It's technically wet season there now but November is usually still quite dry. So, sun, sightseeing and a few cold ones by the pool. (I'm flying Virgin, in case you're wondering.)
