The weekend...

...started on Friday night with dinner on Oxford Street with John & his mates for his birthday. Good food, good wine, good company - nice.
Saturday began early (5am - yawn) with Tsunami time trials. I maintained my position as the fastest paddler - a great way to see out the last trial before the move. As always, being up against Matty helped hugely. Thanks Feros!
The day's continued well - I've been ripping CDs to the portable hard drive, working my way through the list of things to sell, even managing to fit in some baking (a banana bread & butter pudding, which turned out quite well all things considered), and soon Claire will be here for a cup of tea and a taste-test of the pudding. The rest of the day will be spent ripping more CDs. I'm such a social butterfly!
Tomorrow is looking fantastic - a 5am start again but then a 25-30km paddle (on the OC1) including the Bridge to Beach. KT and I are starting at Rose Bay, heading over to Blues Point for registration, then paddling to Manly Cove and back to Rose Bay. Even better, the weather is supposed to be wonderful and I might even get the chance to take a few pics for the blog. it's been ages (last October in the Hawkesbury Classic) since I did a decent length stint on the OC, and I'm really quite excited about it.
After the paddle there's a going-away picnic for Anna & Steve in Glebe, which should be heaps of fun. It'll be a great way to end the weekend.
