Day 7 - Rest Day?

On a Personal Note

Well Hello, and Happy Sunday! Oh and Happy Mother's Day to my Mumma in England, I miss you very much. It was lovely chatting to you earlier!

For Mr Q

Moving On…

Interesting day Sunday. A day to rest, a day to organise for the week ahead or is it business as usual?

Today, my intentions were simple - relax, chill out, go grocery shopping, take some time to look ahead, to plan…. After waking at my new and improved early weekend time 0f 0730h, I found I had some spare time to 'kill', so I did some study, organised and got a yummy breakfast from the wardroom. I then organised with Mr Norm and Mr P to head into Frankston to go shopping, and Mr Q joined us too. 

Mr Q likes to take his time, and chase people (me) with Mars Bars and mock my glutardiness, but generally he's a pretty decent fella, even if he is still offering / taunting me with mars bars as I write this….

I removed Mr Q's name...

We all jumped on the train, got to Frankston and went for a chillax coffee. I finished a sudoku puzzle and soaked up some of the warm sunshine. I then departed the group and went to do my own thing. I had already put together my shopping list this morning, so went to get my groceries - a man with a plan!

After, I jumped on the next train back and joined Mr Norm and Mr P. On my return I got stuck straight into preparations for next week. First my uniform, then my boots, then I juiced some oranges (somehow the pips got thru the mesh and now I need to strain) but I'm looking forward to something new and healthy each day!

Hummus, made by Bullet

Yes, you read it. I made my very own hummus. I'm pretty certain Winnie will have blogged on ETD regarding the fine details of this hummus - needless to say it took less than 5 minutes to prep and make. Best of all, I needed two things - a knife (check) and a blender (check). I guess-timated the measurement - since I'm something of a kitchen demon at home, so man-made (literally) and totally tasty spicy hummus! A short while later I had sliced and diced half a bag of carrots in perfect batons and distributed into little zip locks!

How to kill boredom in the RAN…

Well, you could watch a movie, have a sleep, do more study (yea-right) or train. Since I'm working on getting my body fit to be a father, triathlete and 'hubba-hubby'…I opted for cake.

Only JOKING! I went to the gym with Mr P. We did a fairly intense Shoulders session, which I topped off with nice 500m swim (15 minutes of slog), complete with 5 fairly crappy (I'm learning) tumble turns!

Not bad for 'rest day'…

What did you do today? I hope you found some crazy last minute motivation, or had some time to chill and eat cake (jokes). No Seriously.
