- Not having to go to work
- Being able to sleep in
- Not having to go to work
- Doing whatever you want
Plus, it also has added advantages such as:
- Other people still have to work (am I being smug in yet another post?)
- Everything is still open (apart from banks, of course)
- Nothing is closed
- No public holiday surcharges on menus
What more can a girl ask, really?
So I guess what you're wondering now, is what I actually did with my day off. Even if your not, I'm going to tell you.
- I actually didn't get a sleep in. I started my day early thanks to the efforts of an unnamed someone who did have to go to work so thought I should be awake when he woke up.
- Lying in bed dozing and watching morning TV until the desire for a cup of tea became all-consuming
- Lazy breakfast. Lazy getting ready in my own time.
- Picked up by Sandy to go shopping (yep, that's right. All the shops were open!)
- Out to Ashfield on a futile mission that I'll have to make a separate post on if I want to avoid going on too much of a tangent in this one.
- Back to Sandy's so I could borrow a small suitcase as I'm going to Adelaide overnight tomorrow and I thought my huge suitcase was a bit much. Plus, I managed to kind of bend the pull-out handle on it a bit after falling down an escalator on top of it at Melbourne airport a couple of months ago. Don't ask. (I have issues with escalators - "stairways to doom" I saw them referred to on one of those current affairs shows, and I can well understand why)
- Out to lunch at the Nag's Head (http://www.nagshead.com.au) where I had the most divine goat's cheese risotto - and spotted a number of other highly appealing vegetarian options on the menu.
- Back to my place for hot chocolate, doonahs and a DVD (and evenpossibly a little bit of napping)
- Dinner - I invented a new recipe for low-fat vegetarian shepherd's pie which I have to say turned out pretty damn well.
- Off to bed at 8.30 (it had been a hard day!)
Ahh...I love bank holiday.
