Luke likes doughnuts

As I was leaving the house this morning, a flock of white cockies landed in the walnut tree again.

Walking to work I noticed this shop window. I really hope it's not a clothing shop...

Half way the morning I thought it was time for doughnuts again. My colleagues Luke and Mark chipped in as well and I got us a box of 12 doughnuts.

Luke was obviously thrilled.

I walked a small round at lunch time. Mainly because I walked the wrong way looking for a cash machine but never mind that.

The company I work for is called ISS (group). There are two other ISS'. One does security and the other one cleans (or are they called hygiene engineers these days?). The cleaner guys were parked across the road during lunch.

I take the bus home these days. It's quite relaxed I have to say. I leave work just before the rush starts and the stop where I catch the bus is the first stop so the bus is almost empty when it comes meaning good seating possibilities!

It was getting dark on the way home and the lights went on to shine over the palm trees in the park.

The piano man

In the morning I walked back and found a very nice and very tasty surprise on my desk: My colleague Luke had bought me my favourite doughnut! Good karma for him and nice caramel for me! :-)

During lunch I went to Dick Smith again. It's probably not good to work so close to this place hehe. I bought chemicals to etch my own print boards. I'm sure you will see the results of that on my blog soon.

After work I met Nicole to do some late night shopping. We thought it would be nice but due to:
A) Shit quality kitchen equipment at Harris Scarfe and
B) Hundreds of very ugly teenagers that looked like they were just pulled out a swamp running around everywhere
it was a crappy experience. Not going shopping in Rundle mall at that time of day anymore...

Fortunately we also walked past this guy who put his piano on a little car and now he was playing it in the mall. It was very nice to see and hear. Judging by the amount of money people had given him we were not the only people who liked him.

Doughnuts and darkness

Arriving at work this morning.

Mark and I bought doughnuts after lunch. The one in the top right is the BEST. It's filled with caramel.

The view across the street while waiting for my coffee to be made.

I went for a few drinks with some colleagues after work and we played some eight ball (I think...). Justin on the left and Dale on the right. Mark is kind of invisible behind Justin. At some point I became really good all of the sudden and potted 5 balls in a row. And guess what? Dale potted 6 right after and ended up winning...

Then we went down to P.J. O'Brien's for some food. After eating for 10 minutes someone came over telling us that the table was actually reserved for a private party and that they would like us to move out of the designated area within 15 minutes. I guess they've never seen those little "Reserved" signs that you can place on tables before...

The way to work

Driving on Main North Road towards the city.

Got myself a nice front row seat.

Approaching the Scotties Motel where we turn half right.

Crossing Fitzroy terrace towards the paddocks.

Driving next to the paddocks arriving at the merge point of Main North Road and Prospect Road.

After the merge it's called O'Connell street.

Keep on swimming, keep on swimming...

At the end the road changes name to King William Road and we take the curve to the left...

... and a turn to the right.

Letting people out next to the women's and children's hospital.

Taking off from the hospital we drive towards St. Peter's cathedral.

Aiming straight for town we pass the first lights.

Past the bus stops.

Coming up to the lights where the city begins.

Across the lights the road is called King William Street and I get off at the first stop before Rundle mall.

There goes my bus and I start walking.

We turn left into Rundle mall which is very empty around 7:30 in the morning.

Walk towards the entrance of the CX (City Cross mall/food court)

Turn right into the CX.

At the end of the corridor the food court starts where we go left a bit...

... and right again. There is nobody here except...

Doughnut bakers!

This doughnut bakery is fantastic. I could die there as long as I smell doughnuts. All the bakers were asian people, funny.

Walk past the doughnut place, out of the exit and turn left on to the side walk outside again.

Enter out office building.

Left on to the stairs.

And all this to sit at the smallest desk in the world!

For lunch I went to the soup nazi. They're actually called "Leaf & ladle" and they make excellent soup. I had Minestrone today.

This was my view during lunch, it's quite nice staring outside.
