You know it's a public holiday when:

1. Punt Road is deserted at 5pm.
2. The bottle shop is out of all but low carb beer.

You know you're bonkers when you get up at 5.20am in the rain to go kayaking on the bay.

At least we're not as crazy as:
1. The guy from The Chaser who got 34 botox injections on one side of his face (just for kicks) and has been walking around with a facial droop for a couple of months.
2. Usain Bolt, who has just acquired a pet cheetah.

Had to have a nap when we got home from our paddle. Woke with 'next-day' soreness just two hours later, so expecting to be struggling tomorrow!

Public Holiday today.
Cup Day BBQ.
Mid-afternoon beers.
Watched the race.
J won last prize in the sweep.
Late afternoon walk to watch the helicopters dropping people back from the races into the city.
Quiet night - about to watch East West 101.
