Too little running, too much pasta!

Hi everyone,

Well, this is the evening update.

It's been a pretty good day, inasmuch as it can be when a hefty whack of it was spent at the office.  That said, even the time there was productive and worthwhile and i got through what I intended to, so I'm putting it in the "plus" column.

I was able to finish about when I planned to, so I was able to go to Mass at the Cathedral as planned.  That is, I hadn't especially planned to go at the Cathedral.  Just getting to Mass at all is an improvement on my recent track record.  It just so happened that the timing of the service at St Patrick's was good.  The service was everything you'd hope it to be - the choir sounded heavenly and I was able to get some audio of them which I'm having trouble uploading, annoyingly.  Nonetheless, I was able to get a few quick photos on the way out - herewith -











As you can see, winding up doing Mass there does count as a hefty bonus on the day!

I got the tram back to the Casa and was toying with the idea of going for a run.  However, when I flipped the TV in my room on it was just starting a new episode of Big Bang Theory which I took to be a good augury which it would have been churlish to refuse, so I watched that instead and also called Mum and Dad to check in on them too.  They're doing well and have some time on the road ahead of them this weekend.

Dinner was indeed last night's pasta, which had improved significantly with a night in the fridge and was now a symphony of flavours ... which is why I put away three plates of it (I hadn't had lunch!) and now feel, shall we say, stuffed like an egg!  I spent the evening ironing my shirts for the week and also dashing off part of an article on the recent US v Dire decision. 

And now, bedtime.  Big day - and a heavily contentious hearing - tomorrow.  Wish me luck

Incidentally, I found out the other day that one of the matters I had at my old gig - where I was acting in a civil matter for a person accused of a sexual assault allegedly committed in the 1960s - had finally ended (it was unfinished when I left that firm).  The applicant withdrew the claim.  I think correctly, although it's a sad matter still.  My own view is that the claimant hadn't ever been assaulted, at least by my client, but was clearly a very damaged and messed up person. 

OK, time to sleep.

See you tomorrow.
