Sorry for the delayed post today, although it’s not as late for most of you. Due to the time difference Londoners are having their lunch breaks and New Yorkers are having their morning coffee. People in New Delhi are just getting home from work and those in Sao Paolo are finally feeling effects of that morning coffee and are settling into their workday. I keep an eye on these things. I’m fascinated with how the world operates and when it operates.
So despite it being twenty minutes to midnight here in Sydney, much of the world is just starting the day. So I’m sorry for showing off my well deserved beer tonight. You will earn it later in the day π
I worked 12-11pm today, a very busy day due to Australia Day tomorrow. For those that don’t know, Australia Day is a national celebration. I will give a little insight tomorrow during the celebrations, a little info on the holiday and how it is being celebrated on Sydney Harbour. Watching the preparations this evening from work was pretty impressive to say the least.
I was going to publish an older post today as I said I would use Thursday’s as an excuse to get some of my older writings out there, although I didn’t even get time to do that. I don’t want to just hurl one out there so I thought I’d update you on my lack of update.
What is your day going to consist of? Is it just beginning or coming to an end? I hope it is a good one regardless.
The day is just beginning here in NH. An icy, clear, cold day where everything is still. Have fun tomorrow!
Sounds tranquil and beautiful! You painted a rather nice picture in a few words. Thanks and I hope you have a great day.
I love the whole time-difference in our blogging world. It is 7:14 am here is MN. You have already lived my today. Love that!!
Yeah I always found it weird that as I was waking up people were ready to sleep! It’s my turn to be on that side of the world. I hope you have a lovely day π
Thanks…I hope you are having a sound sleep. π΄
I had a lovely one thanks! Fresh for the day ahead.
Happy Australia day to you then! At least it will be by the time you read this…haha it will be a long day for you tomorrow if you are working since it’s a holiday so hope you get to enjoy your break now! π
I’m cherishing my beers π
Thanks, I will try to enjoy it before work, and thankfully this shift was busier in the hotel as everyone wanted to get here a day early to beat traffic and road closures. Hopefully today (it’s after midnight now) is a smooth one!
Best of luck for work later today then! Enjoy the beers! You deserved it.. π
I made sure I didn’t overdo it, hangover free today π
Well in Scotland itβs now halfway through the day … Iβve been inundated with plumbers, electricians and men up ladders sucking through their teeth. All have been brilliant, getting their jobs done with smiles and thanks for the endless coffee that Iβve brought out whenever the sucking through teeth escalated to a shaking of the head…. all in all, a good day so far. Hope yours is good too. π
Haha, what’s going on over there in your home? π
I’ve always found that electricians/plumbers etc have always been nice people and provided great customer service! Maybe it is the tea/coffee treat that fuels them…
Glad you’re having a good day.
Ps And to make matters doubly good, itβs actually sunny here in Scotland … first time in a few weeks (And I wonder why I suffer depression?!)
Where in Scotland are you?
Good old Glasgow …. the gritty side of Scotland. The weather is terrible but the people more than make up for it! I wonder if youβve ever been?
Nice! I haven’t which is shameful as I’m half Scottish, I have family in Edinburgh yet never ventured any further past the capital…
I would love to visit, it has a similar reputation to Newcastle, where I am from. Friendly people despite the cold northern weather!
Forgot itβs Australia Day . That means itβs a nice long weekend. We donβt read the news donβt know much here. Itβs 859pm in Thailand . About to head to bed as early flight tomorrow.
Oh nice, where are you heading to?
We are off to Bangkok for 5 days before flying home
Awesome! Enjoy π
It’s just after 11am here in Canada:) Lunch soon!
Enjoy Australia day!
I hope you had a lovely lunch π
Thanks! I will post about it.
Sipping a latte and about to start my workday. Just about 9 am here near Seattle. The weather’s gone grey after a gorgeous pink-orange sunrise over the snowy cascades. I’m in the foothills so had a close of view. Good day (or night) to everyone!
Apparently I better gulp a bit more coffee… That should be Cascades (the mountain range) and close up view. π
I knew what you meant, and I know what it is like trying to type pre-coffee haha. That sounds like a lovely view, I wouldn’t want to go to work!
Noon now, & my housekeeper will be here at 1 pm. We get a nice clean house, & don’t have to lift a finger…..yaaaaay!
I used to have a cleaner, oh how I miss that π©
The minute I turned 65 & got pension, I decided to hire someone to do the things I hate…..cleaning!
Now of course I am physically not able to even force myself to do much other than the light stuff, so I like having someone do it for me.
Hey Sam, I just nominated you for the Liebster Award π
Check it out on this link

Thank you so much, I appreciate the recognition!
Much love π
I’m finishing a yoga class and heading into the evening on my couch:)
That sounds like a very relaxing day. I don’t know if I could do yoga, I cannot sit still for too long so I am not sure if it would chill me out or stress me out! Haha
Haha I can’t sit still either! I am doing an athletic yoga which is like yoga on steroids! We get into a yoga position and then do weights. It’s the closest I can get to yoga
I have never heard of that before. It may well be a yoga I can see myself doing!
I had never heard of it before, but I’m really enjoying it:)
Day or night, it’s just a few hours closer to the end (aka March doom) π
I think about this sometimes, but I suppose I look at it from more of ‘states of mind’ point of view.
A night before a paper, I’d sit wondering, “If I were in Berkeley right now, I’d probably be eating breakfast and be really complacent about my work; if I were in Toronto, I may have begun studying. If I were in Reading, I’d still be better off than I am now.
But if I were in Christchurch, I’d probably be heading off to write my paper this very hour, so just this once, I’m glad I’m not in Christchurch!”
And by then, another ten minutes are lost. π
Haha, it is amazing to watch the time fly by when trying to write a paper. I would always say to myself ‘I will just watch this last YouTube video’ or ‘I will just pop to see that friend for five minutes’ and before I know it, another day has gone. I was so bad with deadlines… don’t be like me!
In this regard, I may already be like that!
My creativity peaks in the days leading up to a paper. I think I may be blogging more during thatβs period! Of course, with every publish comes an internal reminder, βNow Iβm going off for five daysβ, but when an idea hits, I just have to write it down!
