A good, cold, sunny day

I took advantage of the holiday to get a proper long workout in. Then I met roadnotes, baldanders, and cattitude for lunch at Mingala. This time we were able to check which pork dish we wanted, because I wrote it down in my Palm last time. That, basil duck, ginger chicken, the usual ginger salad (which I didn't like as much this time, for some reason) and chicken and corn soup (it was definitely soup weather) were a fine meal, and the conversation was better.

After lunch, Cattitude went off to do work-type stuff, and the rest of us walked around a little. Roadnotes and I bought socks, then they went in search of other clothes and a DVD or two, and I came home, with a stop for rye bread. About half the loaf is now in the freezer for future sandwiches; some may become sandwiches as soon as Wednesday morning (I don't have enough cold cuts to make a sandwich to take to work tomorrow).

Once home, I had tea, then did a bit of research work. An hour or so, then sent a report off to my client. We talked yesterday, and I want to make sure we're on the same page about his expectations. It's odd having gone from being significantly under-employed to having slightly over a full-time job.
