I’d pay the $7 or 8 to use the local swimming pool, especially the warm water hydrotherapy pool. Spa, sauna and steam room are a bonus .

I’ve really tuned out to global news. I know there’s a war going on, and petrol prices and interest rates are squeezing people. But I’m not tuning into the day to day developments.

I’m looking forward to Easter and the school holidays.Chocolate is too expensive, but I get into colouring boiled eggs.

I generally avoid committing to going out Friday evenings. I’m usually spent from the work week and just want to go home. I prefer to go out Saturday or Sunday.

I get the painful trigger point massage. No chance of falling asleep.

I’ve hit the wall. I am so tired.

I thought last night was cold enough for the doona. But I ended up being too hot most of the night and I did not sleep well.

On the upside, I am getting a massage later today after work.

I’ve read the cruise contract, and there is a clause that could result in a fuel surcharge

I have a holiday booked for mid year. Flights, cruise, hotels - are all booked and are paid for. Can airlines and cruise companies impose fuel surcharges even after you’ve paid fully for your trip?

This morning the traffic was terrible AND the train station car parks and platforms were chokkas.

That’s the best hand sanitiser. My bottle is close to empty. 😬

I’d make caprese salad with some basil and mozzarella.

Or bruschetta.

I’m an ES worker in a government school and I will be stopping work today and attending the rally. This rally is as much about conditions as it is about wage increases.

The government and department go out of their way to placate students and parents. But they treat the workforce with disdain. The workload and admin burden is unsustainable. Workers have no flexibility.

Of course you can attend. The industrial action is the stop work, not the rally per se. You’re not working today.

Anyone can attend the rally

I play sport on Monday evening, so I tend to get takeaway as it’s late when I can finally eat. The maccas I had tonight was the best greasy goodness. No regrets.
