Getting Out To Walk

The hotel breakfast was absolutely uninteresting. Needless to say, coffee that came out of a machine without a barista poring over it wasn't attractive. So I did a very quick run to Guava Bean for a morning cuppa. I'd love to buy more keep cups but they take up otherwise useful space in the suitcase.

I wasn't really looking to have breakfast. That was secondary. I wasn't particularly hungry. But I was sidetracked by the toasties at Famish'd. So that was the end, breakfast it was before the meetings began. Those toasties were AWESOME.

The trip schedule is absolutely packed. Meetings in the day and clearing of emails in the evenings. I can't say I don't enjoy it. The logistics of every meal is arranged neatly by counterparts, so you won't see any photos of food on this blog because it's impossible to whip out the camera to take photos. Each day, I literally have to memorize the resumes of my dining companions who are sitting to my right and left, and across; of which I might as well just memorize the whole damn table's. My boss asks difficult questions, but nothing that can't be answered as long as one does the prep work. I'm just relieved that I'm not the one doing that. Heh.

Some colleagues head to the gym. I prefer to stretch in the room and go for brisk walks early in the mornings. Yes, I'm not exactly a morning person at all. But I guess any chance to slip out for a while to feel the wind in the hair, the cool temperatures and bright sunshine is gleefully seized. Melbourne's weather has been kind these 2 days. That sky, is breathtakingly beautiful. The fluffy white of the clouds against the startling blue background is such a happy sight which never fails to give me immediate cheer.
