Say what you like about Melbourne’s weather (and I usually do), but when a perfect winter’s day comes along, you can’t ask for more. It’s sunny and warm outside, and although I was sceptical this morning about the temperature climbing to a heady sixteen degrees, I’ve been proven wrong.

Because I’m feeling lazy, here’s a list of things I’ve loved about today, in no particular order:

Walking Mr Dog in the sun, past the firemen - and we all know how great firemen are!

Not going to work until after 12pm.

Wearing non-work clothes for a large portion of the day, including a great t-shirt I bought a couple of weeks ago, well before I expected to be able to

Heaps of sprinting during spin (Glen, you might be happy you didn’t come today!)

Making bread with heaps of time to let it rise properly

Taking Miss M to school and being able to stay until after the bell rang

So now I don’t have to go back to the gym until this evening, and a relaxing afternoon stretches in front of me with a trip to the bank, and some potentially frenzied bidding on ebay later on. And maybe another dog walk past those firemen …
