DiaDeLosMuertos - 1mon

I think it's time to introduce two day work weeks and five day weekends.

Apart from that all is well. Had all of last week off with yet another virus. I've had so much damn time off this year.

On a positive note a new doc put me back on antibiotics for my out of control Rosacea. It was out of control and had even broken out on my chest. Bloody horrible. Now it's looking great again. Another doc took me off them a few years ago and it's been bad ever since. The cream is about $50 and lasts about a month. And doesn't fix it. Unsure how long I can keep on the tablets. I was on them for years until getting taken off them.

Have a lovely day.

Been loving the sunny weather over the last little while. Early mornings are beautiful for a bike ride. Hope this weekend isn't too miserable with this rain forecast.

On another note, I'm really disappointed with the airtrain service. I fly regularly for work, yet am pretty much forced into driving to the airport. 25min drive VS 1.5hr for bus and airtrain. They need more regular services and trains on most lines to link up easily and timely.

The amount of cars parked at the airport these days is utterly ridiculous. It's expensive too. Sydney have done it right.

Not to mention the price. It's literally 44 times as expensive to go from Central to the airport as it is to get to Central from Varsity Lakes on the Gold Coast or Nambour on the Sunshine Coast.

Agree it is a bit overpriced, although the train from Mascot to Sydney is also about $20 one way. It also beats paying 180/week in ParkLong.

Uber is $55, but that's if you can get one early on a weekday. My success rate isn't good.

Flashback to happier days... Puppies enjoying a lovely run around the backyard.

Unfortunately 5 of the 7 pictured have passed since then. I wish they lived forever.
