I had to pop into work today. I'm still trying to pay back all of the shifts that I have taken off when I went skiing. I know it was a while ago, but I am still in the process of trying to work it back. I think I've mentioned it before. I say that I am going to do a payback shift, but then at the end of the day, I claim it as overtime, as I'm a little to partial to being paid for work, instead of working for free.
St. Johns have finally started to roster me to do the payback shifts. That way it doesn't feel as though I am working for nothing, as it is down on the rota as a day of work.
The weather was great though today, and it would have been fabulous to head to the beach, instead of work, but that wasn't possible. The nice days are coming fewer and fewer, and at the moment the forecast is about 3 days of rainy, overcast days. I notice on my little computer weather reporter that most of the UK is better weather than it is here at the moment. Not everything is better in Perth then!
Work was as routine as it gets, and then afterwards, I trundled down to Fremantle to my friend Kathryn's house. She was going out for a bite to eat with her friend/cousin (I'm not sure exactly how they are related, but they are) and invited me down. We had a Vietnamese - I couldn't manage a whole one, but a leg and arm were alright.
As it was Sunday night, it wasn’t particular busy anywhere, but we still had a laugh. It was a nice change to be able to actually talk to someone who I have something in common with – Kathryn is a paramedic from Birmingham, and her cousin Mark is also a down to earth person.
