After another good night’s sleep it’s an early start this morning. The first allocated exercise session for our intake is 7.20am, exactly the same time that breakfast is due to arrive. I do my ablutions and then prep for the walk choosing to have breakfast when I return. Seventy minutes and a seven km walk later breakfast is a piece of bacon and egg pie (unusual choice but I like variety) and a bowl of fruit salad. Morning tea consists of a carrot and almond muffin, a muesli bar and orange juice. The pie was ok – more egg than bacon but the protein is important. No photo necessary (or possible because I’ve eaten it).
The menu for lunch and dinner is here too. I’m having chilli beef nachos with tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream for lunch and dinner consists of roast lamb with tuscan roast gourmet potato – sounds divine.
Yesterday I wrote a review of the four earphone choices (very unscientific and amateur) but I woke up this morning and realised that I have a fifth headset that I completely forgot about – my Jabra Sport + v5.7 which are about five years old. Some might ask why do I own so many different headphones and why did they travel with me to Australia. That’s easy – they make an easy gift for someone who is hard to buy for and they don’t take up much room in the suitcase (except for the Beats) so why not? I will add the Jabra Sport to yesterday’s headphone review.
Lunch has arrived and the chilli beef nachos were supreme and worthy of a photo.
It could have been warmer, but considering it was delivered it was fine, and I knew not to muck around because it would only cool down more and get soggy. The kitchen has done well again. I’ve built up a good supply of milk (not soy unfortunately and it is the UHT type) so I think a couple of glasses of the white stuff will be in order.
I’m watching the cricket on Spark Sport (on my iPad) while I’m writing this and so far it’s going really well 73/5. It’s being played at home in Dunedin and it feels like home is now so close yet so far away. Another eight days to go…
