I was in at the office where for some reason the airconditioning won’t switch on after hours anymore (prob more cost cutting). The answer: home made aircon, and the melted icewater was cool to drink too.

Another discovery: breakfast at Knuckle Sandwich in the 280 Centre (off Q St and Lorne St) is very good, and eggs benedict is as good as a pie when feeling seedy from having drunk far too much the night before.

• Do the dishes
• Listen to the car alarms
• Have an early shave (it’ll save time tomorrow)
• Experiment with the night settings on your camera
• Think about how sleepy tomorrow will be
• Ring the U.K.
• Wonder why there’s so many big trucks driving along Mayoral Drive
• Read Wikipedia …. all of it
• Try and work out where the people yelling are
• Blog about “Things to do at 1am when you can’t get any sleep”
• Any other ideas?

Did some CSS in the morning then went on a long walk: Along the waterfront; through the Parnell Rose Gardens; down to St George’s Bay and up past St Stephen’s Chapel; back down through Parnell; up Constitution Hill; past the Fisher Building in Auckland University where I used to work; through Albert Park; and finally back home. Just think how much more interesting this blog post would be if I’d taken my camera. Next time.

This is the route Google Maps thinks I did. It has planned the route only on streets though. (Like it says “Walking directions are in beta.”) It doesn’t understand you can walk through parks; that it is much nicer to walk through the parks.
