Weekend Apr-4-5
Was working evening shifts as well with my regular day shift lately and Friday was one of the days. I am glad it is my Taper week before the marathon and no races for the next weekends. Had sleeped in.
Sunday was the start of the end of Day-light savings and my body clock was still set on the dayloght savings. Woke up early, had breakfast at Bowan’s bakery walked to and from the house which is crossing the Iron cover bridge maybe which is a kilometer away. This is where the Woodstock Runners cafe stop after te Saturday runs this is located at Drummoyne. they absolutely serve the bestest! muffins iv’e ever tasted and good coffee.
Then shopped for fishing rods that we plan to use on Easter weekend. I bought my first rod, a beginner’s female pink fishing rod.
Went to little Bay, even it was already cold from autumn winds hoping could go snorkling. It was really cold I tried to snorkle but it was too cold for me even with my rashies.
And on the way home, guess what? found a Filo grocery. I was told that its already 20 years in that location! It was Pinoy frenzie food shopping, well for mixes anyway. Bought sinigang, adobo, karekcare, and palabok mix! So with a hot and spicy nagaraya and salted red eggs. The red eggs was for dinner and it was not as good as the original red eggs.
Went to chruch and attended the palm Sunday at St. Patrick at Grosvenor road, Sydney. Palm Sunday was celebrated differently, compared to palms being sold at church doors with very arty and crafted designs, the church gave us palms at the end of the mass which were cut nicely and simply straight from a palm plant.
Tuesday as a gift for having my anniversary, I took myself to te dentist, yea if you think im crazy for thinking it as a gift! I maxed out my 2000AUD dental care! altho they did numb my left side mouth and driven those drills like thousan f1 drivers running around my mouth, I think they are the best Dentists I have been to in my life, seriuosly! The fish tank, and the entertainment where you watch MTVs with the headphones while they treat you. It is so cool. And it is just at the building where I work so convinient! I went to Pyrmont Dental Health.
This Sunday also commemorates my anniversary of coming to Sydney as a transfer location on my work. I remember I left Philippines April 4 and arrived in Sydney, twas an overcasti day i was tired and waking up the following day which was end of Daylight savings, and it was raining.
Its going to be Easter weekend 4 day holiday and be going up central coast to fish, relax maybe to the beach if its not too cold. its a week more before my first marathon event.
Happy Easter everyone!
