My short weekend

Next week I'm on graveyard shift starting on Sunday night.

I usually dread this weekend as I have to spend a

beautiful Sunday sleeping.

 

Tomorrow I get to do it in 34 degree heat.

 

The only decent thing about these weekends is that my body

wakes me up really early on Saturday.

(as the previous week my wake up time is 4.30am everyday)

This means I get a FULL day.

From sunrise to sunset.

So when I woke up this morning at 4.45am without the aid of an alarm,

I knew I had to make the most of the day.

I was feeling a little bit odd and lost.

Candice hadn't come to bed until about 2 hours before I woke up

so I knew she would be having a pretty big sleep in.

My brain was jammed with thoughts.

I hatched a plan.

To the beach!

I can't explain how perfect it was.

Shorts and singlet, 

book,

fruit,

soft music,

plenty of interesting people to watch,

finding sticks that look like wands,

bright warm sun and a perfectly cool breeze.

 

I hung out on the sand for a few hours reading my book,

 occasionally stopping to look around for someone to observe

 and listening to sweet melodies courtesy of The Audreys.

 

 

 Even though I knew it was a long shot I messaged a friend 

who splits her living time between New Farm and the Gold Coast in the hope that

she might be sleeping at the latter.

She wasn't.

But lucky for me she felt like coming down for a catch up.

I now had a beer friend.

Gee life is good.

 

I have had a most satisfactory Saturday.

A simply wonderful and relaxing day.

Just peachy.

 

Here is my day in photos taken on both my phone and SLR camera.

After blowing off the dust here are a few snaps taken on my Nikon.

 

 

And taken on my phone

So that was my day and almost my whole weekend.

I have a few hours in the morning to enjoy

but after that it's off to bed for this little shift worker.

Happy weekend all!

Oh and yes, I totally brought the wand home.

As if I wouldn't.
