Week of June 5 to 12
Busy this week, working on the trailer delivery. Saturday was the last night at the Duxton Hotel, checked out on Sunday morning. Found out that I didn't get charged for my online activity (info - the hotel has wireless in the lobby, but they need to log you in and charge your account. But I managed to get the password, unwittingly from a night attendant, so I was set for the rest of the time). Unloaded at the house I'm renting, went back into town to shift rental cars (booked for 2 months, it's my intent to not have a car & use 2-wheels). Then work... Total for the week ended up being 70 hours, missed a couple chats with Bonnie because I was there til after midnight. But quieter after that, calm before the storm so to speak...
Saturday 11th - went to the gym. Different scheme for the gyms, they have a city-run network , centering on the pools, with mediocre 'fitness centres', having some cardio and weights. There's 2 pretty close by, 2 more not much farther. Only been to those two (Freyburg today). Membership is kind of expensive for the facilities - about $60/month. 'Casual entry' is $3 for the pool but $11 for gym+pool+classes (but not including sauna). They also don't have a locker room - they have the changing rooms and 'for hire' lockers, which cost $.50. Like the health care, they have a 'private' system as well. I'm going to check those gyms out in the coming weeks.
Sunday 12th - Gym again (Kilbirnie). In town for shopping/biz (returned some electronics I can't use, and got the new White Stripes). Then Cinelounge ! The only way to see movies - unlimited soda and popcorn, recliner loungers, food service at your seat. Met up with Raine and her boyfriend Ben - went to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith, but the experience is more important than the movie in this case... Home afterwards, got Skype working, so was able to run audio with Bonnie, along with camera on Yahoo. Camera worked much better with iChat/AIM, but it's not working now...
