Rundown of Second Week

Week 2 was pretty great. Starting to get into the hang of things. Usually start off with a nice run at 7am, which can be quite unpleasant for a sleeper like me, but by the time it's 7:20 and I'm running along the water and the sun is creeping up over the hills, it's all worth it! Here's a pictures from along my run:



Then I bike to work on my awesome little purple bike, reminding myself to stick to the lefthand side and all decked out with helmet and lights. I am sure you're getting the image, but I am look pretty cool at this point. The work day is good. I like what I'm doing, and the other younger guys at work are great fun - quite a mix of characters and it's fun getting to know them. Highlights are tea breaks and lunch time. Then after work, I bike back to good company at home, delicious vege dinner, and any number of fun things (friends stopping by, fort-building, trying to get our cat Lula to tolerate me).

This week I was also introduced to "southerly" winds. These are icy cold wind patterns blowing wind literally from Antarctica. Can get chilly, but luckily it was mostly rain-free this week.

Next up - a post on tramping adventures from this past weekend.
