Saturday night was not too awful, but there was a lot of work, and not much down time at the ambulance station. We didn't manage to finish on time, and to top it off the route home (well, not all of them, only the easiest one) was closed due to a bike race.
It took some negotiating around the freeway because one whole carriageway was closed. There was some sort of charity bike ride going on from right down in the south of the city, all the way along to the very north of the freeway. I eventually arrived home, and dropped into my bed for some much needed sleep about 10:30 in the morning.
I had a lot of restful sleep, but when I woke up, Sally was here (I wonder why I actually woke up) to start making plans for everyone to move out. I don't think that Mark is actually aware that he brought on the hasty sale of the house, and sort of stuffed it up for everyone else her. Although, saying that, he is actually looking for somewhere else to live, unlike Hagen (the Hoff), who is just merrily drinking his way into oblivion.
After Sally left, the three of us got down to the serious business of the afternoon. It was Formula One race in Melbourne, and was on telly, so we sat outside, discussed what we all were planning for next week, and watched the race.
I was still quite tired, and Hagen's racial slurs started to really get under my skin. (With him being both a German and living in South Africa for a long time, you can picture the venom with which he talks about anyone who isn't a tall blond haired white person). I (unusually) didn't react, and just kept quiet. It ruined his fun, as he never got a rise out of either Mark or me, so Hagen took himself off to the pub for the rest of the afternoon.
It was blessed relief.
I heard from Jane, and she was making a roast dinner for a load of people. I was her technical advisor, and I hope that it all worked out alright. It did sound a lot yummier than the pasta that I rustled up.
It was nice to have some days off. I wonder what the rest of them hold in store for me!
