A completely tedious day today. Got up at about 6am when it was just getting light (the Irish lads I share the house with had already left for work), cycled to the Esplanade and went for a run along the beach front. It was very tempting not to bother, but as it's now a reasonable temperature in the morning I am trying to make the effort to get fit. I have been recovering from a mysterious shoulder injury for the past three months so I need to do some exercise to keep the flab at bay. It was busy, with a lot of other runners and walkers out. It had all the makings of a perfect day, the last week has been uninterrupted blue skies and pleasantly warm 27-29C. Winters in Cairns are great, like summer in England.
Today I started my intensive classes in Business Law up at the Uni - I didn't really expect it to be like Tom Cruise in "A Few Good Men". It wasn't. A whole day of discussing contract law and how it applied to the Commonwealth and Queensland, with case examples. And the same again tomorrow, but with the excitement of looking forward to hearing about the Trade Practices Act. Woohoo! Free coffee and biscuits, though.
