Sunday, for those indifferent to religion, a day of rest and relaxation. It’s gorgeous weather, the first hot day of the season. Which makes me wonder why I spent the morning analyzing a journal article about the future of accountancy and independent auditing in the People’s Republic of China. (Believe me, it’s not as much fun as it sounds) DEP (the course I currently teach) texts are not the sort you can just flick through as the students do the exercise and then make up the answers on the spot.
At 11.30 we headed for the station, bought tickets to Freo and waited for the train. We’d have been waiting still had not a foreigner with better English comprehension skills than us pointed out a sign saying that due to work on the line no trains were running till tomorrow. Bah! Back home to get the car. We drove to the pub where I was then obliged to sit for an hour sipping diet cokes waiting for our friends to show. They had also been caught out by the public transport debacle. So where is all this leading? It’s by way of an excuse for stuffing my face with fish and chips for Sunday lunch. I’m preparing you, dear reader, for the certain news that when I weigh-in tomorrow I won’t have lost any weight.
