10 things I learnt this weekend...

1. The sad fact of the matter is that Cane - despite being hidden in the delicious form of Mainstay Mojito - makes me go psycho :(

2. Braaing too late in the night means that one will generally not feel like eating (having been drinking for the last few hours) which will then result in psycho hammered - which then leads to admin.
3. Weekends should (and can) sometimes be used for sleep. All that is required is not to make any definite plans / commitments, turn off your alarm, eat an enormously delicious skottel breakfast, and go for an afternoon nap in a room with dark curtains...
4. Making the effort to see friends, celebrate their birthdays and have an awesome night in the PTA town is priceless - so no more forgetting such engagements!
5. Having friends that have taken the next step in life to move in together in a flat usually means that they'll have a guest room - with a double bed - in which you can stay (sleeping bags and pillows get to stay behind in the car).
6. The weather is getting wintery - despite all attempts to ignore the colder / darker mornings - and that means you need to have more than 2 jerseys in your cupboard. However, shops don't yet seem to have their full winter ranges in - and that makes for difficult shopping!
7. Deciding between a blow up mattress (which will start wheezing air somewhere along the line) and fold up ones (which take up significantly more room and bear the risk of separating in the night) is a tough decision. Price and convenience made us choose the former.
8. A good old shower, scrubbing from head to toe, followed by a good teeth brushing makes you feel like a whole new person.
9. Making time to read more than a few pages of a very exciting novel is a really great way to spend Sunday afternoon, accompanied by a mug of Milo :)
10. Early bed on Sunday. Need I say more?
