Well, another glorious day for doing nothing. After working last night, I thought "Sunday, I might as well get a coffee on the way home, and read the newspaper," so I stopped at a local coffee shop/cafe, and ordered – breakfast as will (I hadn't eaten all night).
My phone rang, and it was Ambulance control offering me more overtime starting in about 1 hour. (The person hadn't consulted the computer to see that I was just finishing up after a night shift). As I said yesterday, there is as much overtime I need. Anyway I did have some plans to meet a couple of people in the afternoon anyway.
After a short rest at home, off I went to meet friends. On the menu were Fish and Chips in Fremantle for Sunday lunch. I met up with Kathryn and Eddie (from my training course) and Eddie's wife and little girl Niamh. It was excellent.
When we all went our separate ways, I went to a local sports bar, and watched the Cricket. While there I had some small wagers with a couple of the locals about the outcome of an individual over/who would be out next/winner of the game. It was quite easy to win an odd 50 cents off them each, as they (like all Australians) could not see that the Aussie cricket team wasn't performing as well as they could. India won the game at a canter.
So when I got home, and reflected on doing nothing, it was excellent. Oh and I was rung again by ambulance control for overtime Sunday night as well. I had had too much fun watching cricket and taking money off a couple suckers to go to work this evening.
