Yes, that's right I'm at my office...However yesterday was a different matter! My office looked like this! Alright I'll be honest, it didn't look like this all day, but for a few hours it did and I'll take it when I can!
I was in a beachside suburb of Adelaide called Glenelg...That's a palindrome in case you hadn't noticed as the name reads the same forwards and backwards. [A useless fact for you.] I'll pause whilst you go and read it back to check...Waiting...Waiting...Lol. You done?
Glenelg is a historical spot, the oldest European Settlement on the South Australian mainland in fact. The British set out for South Australia in 1836 and arrived in Glenelg to proclaim it the Province of South Australia which happened on the 28th December 1836 at the site of the Old Gum Tree in Glenelg North. I have posted about it before. Since then Glenelg, and the city of Adelaide itself, has expanded of course.
It has traditionally been a popular beachside spot for people in Adelaide and that rings true today with crowds flocking there on weekends to take in the cosmopolitan vibe, the beach and all the awesome spots to eat! There is a massive new years eve celebration here each year and year-round there's festivals and events...There's always something happening at Glenelg.
I was here for work yesterday though, to sign contracts with a new client. It's cool really because I was here the day earlier (Monday) to pitch to the client who lives right on the Esplanade overlooking the water, and overnight they accepted our package and so there I was again on Tuesday...Glenelg two days running! I really can't complain about my job...I'm a lucky fella...And with weather like this? #blessed #yayforme #loveit Lol.
Yesterday I had a slightly slower day as far as workload goes so decided to head down early and sit in a cafe and work on my laptop...Of course, I took a stroll around to see what's up as well. It was 30 degrees yesterday so a few people were out and about on the beach and taking advantage of the weather. I like week-days here because they are less busy as you can see. On the weekend it is teeming with people! Certainly a place to come if one is looking for hot, and scantily-dressed bodies.
I found a nice spot yesterday, grabbed a sandwich and coffee and sat around working...Actually, I didn't work at all, I people-watched, but don't tell my boss ok?
Where I was sitting overlooked a fountain between a stand of palm trees, one of those ones that spurts out of holes in the ground at various points. You know the one's kids play in? There were a few families there frolicking in the water and the air was full of laughter and happiness. It was really quite nice to be honest and was great to see families taking advantage of the free entertainment too.
I'm fortunate that my working day allows me a lot of autonomy; No one looks over my shoulder and wherever I am I can work, provided that I have my mobile phone and laptop computer. I sometimes grumble on here about my work but to be completely honest I love it, am privileged to have a lot of freedom and the ability to work in places like this at times.
So...Where on Wednesday? Well, today in my office at my desk...Wishing I was back at Glenelg like yesterday.
Have a great hump-day y'all...The weekend isn't far away!
