Sometimes its good to give in to temptation...

And so.. am just back to work after a fantabulous 3 week holiday and my first assignment is in a city away from home..

Travelling.. the bane of a married working couple! I remember the days when I used to enjoy living out of a suitcase... Not any more. I feel pressured now. Sometimes I feel guilty when I see myself slipping into old habits.

Anyway, back to the subject. I am here now, in Sydney, and am working with some really good people; working hard but having a good time. And sometime during last week, I shifted gears - which in my world means working longer hours and working harder...

Normally once I shift gears I rarely break.. Its the thrill of travelling at a high speed without stopping.. But one of my colleagues suggested I should check out Sydney. Relax a bit, hang around, experience Bondi.. stuff like that.. Well for a change I was tempted and I took up the offer.

I started the day really early today with a Bondi Bronte walk and then spent a couple of hours fooling around in turquoise water... Oh it was sooo much fun. I almost forgot I was here for work. But I was hooked to having fun. I came back to my hotel and went out again.. A couple of hours spent shopping, some more walking, a few oysters at sydney fish market, and a nice warm relaxing bath later am at my desk and I realised that before I get back to work, before I forget what an amazing day I hav had, I "hav to hav to"document this.

Thank you "You know who" for making my day.
