Things I did on Friday - 1/8/08

So... Friday.

Cycled into work as it was such a nice day. Fairly warm and not too many arsehole drivers about. Yay!

Hiked up to the gym for to shower. Tried out some of my different cosmetic purchases including the eye cream (great stuff!), the Clinique foundation sample (still not convinced), my new Clinique face powder (pretty good!), and the Clairns lippy sample (nice and bright and smells good).

Got to work and told by two colleagues I looked glam. Amazing what red lipstick can do huh?

Worked worked worked. 4pm had a wine. Decided that I was going to join Dons and co for Thai food at the Bank. 6pm cycled up to Dons' place where I left my bike and made myself look pretty, and we wandered up to Newtown together.

Lovely dinner with peeps. A good group of about 10 of us so we shared a few dishes, including a jungle curry. Wowza! Was so spicy I stuck to water for the rest of the evening and thus, was able to cycle home after collecting my bike.

However, the wind had come up over the past couple of hours, and a usual 10 minute trip became 20 as I pushed hard in a lower gear to get through the wind while nature threw sticks, leaves and bark at me. Got home to find the same wind had considerably slowed Kevin's journey too. Plus some dickheads had decided to smack him on the arse while he was in the saddle, pissing him off so much that Kevin nearly got into a fight with five drunks. I'm very pleased that there was a break in the traffic and Kevin chose to cycle through it instead.

Peppermint Tea and an early night for a Friday of 11pm. I just couldn't keep my eyes open.
