Extra Long Weekend
So I've got to put in a good days work today, because I'm off to Melbourne early tomorrow morning. I could pretend that some big, international company wanted to interview me, but then I'd just be lying. The real reason is that we booked our flights months ago. We thought we'd be going to a 70th birthday this weekend, and so figured we'd be organised and save a bit of money with the cheap flights that were on offer at the time.
Turns out, the person who's birthday it is, has decided to go away for the weekend. So we're going to spend the weekend staying in a nice hotel, doing some shopping and generally being tourists. We've both got most of our families in Melbourne, so despite that fact that we've been there at least a couple of times every year for the past quarter of a century, we've never actually done the touristy things.
So that's what we'll be doing for the next four days.
