365 Pink Feather Boas All in a Row - Day 15 : Under the Starry...Um..Cloudy Skies

I finally made it back to work today and was greeted by warm welcomes, concern, and relief that I wasn't dead..... which was all very nice....

I did however go back to mounds upon mounds of work to catch up on but realised I was never going to get it all done in one day, and so cognizant of the fact that I was still not fully recovered, and apt to tire easily (which I duly did), I tried to pace myself, and just attend to the really urgent tasks at hand. Given that my boss was about to fly to Hawaii on the Saturday for a major telecommunications conference, the workload even for the urgent tasks was considerable enough.....


While having a break from the piles of work that swished in and around me like so much corporate flotsam and jetsam, and had my recovering brain running around like a headless chicken tried to find it's murderer, I went to my personal inbox and started printing off the tickets for the Open Air Cinema I'd bought.... 2 Feb check.....6 Feb check.... 13 Feb check....and last but by no means least, Friday 15 Jan che.....wait a second, that's tonight!

Thanking my strep-addled brain that I had checked the tickets, I left work a little earlier than I had planned, raced home, changed, met my gorgeous guy outside the gates to my apartment complex, and we sprinted into Mrs Macquarie's Chair for the screening of "Whatever Works", an absolutely hilarious Woody Allen movie that had me laughing out loud far more than any comedy for a good long time.

We managed to grab parking at the Cathedral Car park for $9, were chauffeured to the OAC by a Toyota Prius (in a beautifully timed promo campaign by Toyota), and since we were a little later than normal and couldn't enact the normal OAC plan (which is one person grabs the seats, while another secures the table in the eating area), we made do with eating dinner in our seats but seated in the sponsor seats which were freed up for the night and were way more comfortable than the normal bendy plastic ones.

The night was beautiful - not too hot, not too cold - the view as always sublime, and we laughed and held hands, and I gave thanks that I had found the tickets in time!
