This week has been a bit more relaxed. Monday I didn't have any patients. Not one. I went in for 2 they both didn't show up. No money for maddie :( Monday evening I made curry and we played pandemic.

Tuesday I had a very annoying day at work but then I went climbing and climbed all my stress away. There is a new climb that is fairly difficult and I have been struggling with it for weeks but I'm starting to do it more smoothly now. 

Wednesday was ride to work day. I rode the 38km to work in Croydon. It took me 3 hours but that's because I stopped for ride to work breakfast 4 times. I couldn't find the first one, the second two were lovely and I picked up some reflectors and I was too late for the last one. Again I had 2 no shows at work which was very annoying but I did see a few people. I didn't finish work until 7pm so I took the train home. It reminded me why I have a car. Bike home:2hours, train home 1.5hours plus trip to the station, car 45 minutes. Even getting home at 8:30 I beat Damien. He has been working really hard recently. Big spread sheets to do.

Thursday I did not have a good morning. I went to the wrong facility then I got stuck in traffic going to the right facility. I had a busy day at work and then got stuck in extremely heavy traffic coming home. When I got home my day got a bit better. My new MBA class starts this week. It looks to be interesting but it also looks like it will be a large amount of work. The instructor expects 2000 words per week and an additional 3000 words paper on top of quizzes and tests. We went out to the pub at the end of the street for Parma night. I have been trying to take Damien for over a year now. He loved it and I was excited. 

Friday was Cann River day. I have a big weekend this week with the marathon so I flew up. It was a tad on the expensive side but work will pay the difference so it's not too bad. Damien dropped me at the airport at 6:30 I took a tiny green plane to a tiny airport in southern New South 'Whales'

Yes that's right. No terminal just a detached check-in shed. It makes the Morgantown airport look huge. I then rented a car and drove down to Cann River. I got there at 10am. My schedule was all over the place. Only 1 of my 8 patients came in on their own, the rest needed a call to be reminded. Only 1(a different 1) had a legitimate physiotherapy problem. Man. Craziness but everyone was lovely and I had a great day. After work I drove back to New South wales and I stayed in Eden. September-November is whale season in Eden so I grabbed dinner and set up shop to watch. The area was beautiful.  I saw a couple whales in the distance. I definitely saw some more and some dolphins  up close but I didn't get any pictures. 

Eden also has a killer whale museum which looks amazing but was closed before I arrived. 

The hotel where I stayed was pretty basic but the couple who owned it were lovely.
