I stay at
home on Mondays just so that i can find out what others have done over the weekend.
I also don't go to work on Fridays so that I can find out what others have planned for the weekend.
The rest of the week is all hard work, except when I have to go away, then it is all hard work 7 days a week.

Well I'm back at work today after spending a few days at our nations capital. Was a great time and saw lots of touristy things especially the play work at the grass rooved building. A bit of an eyeopener as to where our tax dollars go but it's a magnificent building.
I could not believe how helpful and courteous the local bus drivers were. They were reallygreat and nothing was too much trouble. One even backed his bus up about 100 meters including a roundabout near the War Memorial to pass on some advise.
Anyway, it's back to the grind.

I agree Des, the Action drivers are all good people and all speak fluent english. Only trouble for us locals is that the busses go every where and take to long to get to where you don't want to go anyway...I don't use them except in dire emergency & I have a free pass for life...At Tax payers expense...Oh by the way I'd also like to thank you taxpayers to for buying the bike racks for the front of the busses, a generous gesture - shame no one uses them.

For $4.00 for a shoppers non peak ticket and you get to see heaps without the worry of traffic and navigation, it was great value. We were staying at
Kingston and went out to the Helenic Club for tea Fri.night and it took over half an hour so I can see your point but it was the ducks nuts for us.
Didn't notice the bike racks though. Maybe that's why.
