The question this morning was whether or not to get up and at it early, my usual 5.00am start, or delay it all a little knowing that this day will be the first Wednesday for the next three months or so of late finishes...really late finishes.
People who work nine-to-five, Monday to Friday, probably don't have to worry too much about such things. But such is the life of a lecturer that the natural expectation is that we shall be available for teaching hours anywhere between 8.00am and 9.00pm. Yep, that's the spread and it is the luck of the timetable lottery each semester as to where you end up. I have to say, mine is all over the place this semester.
Anyway, dear reader, I was on the verge of staying in for another few minutes when I glanced outside:
 |
| You know the tune...kookaburra sits in the old gum tree... |
...one of my favourite scenes, the silhouette of the kookaburra on the old gum tree with the light behind it. I don't care what time I'm due to finish work, I really like this effect.
And then, in motion...
 |
| But before I could finish singing...away |
Stoked, as the young people say, stoked I was. (Actually, 'stoked' was lingo when I was young, once, too.)
There were a couple of worthy snaps at work too, one just as I arrived, the lake its usual hive of activity...
 |
| I'd like to think we've a juvenile swan here...but maybe not |
 |
| Still, smoke, sunset, onto 'security' |
We should just all take photos, breathe in and breathe out I reckon.
