My back has been hurting quite a lot for the past few days, and I have no idea what I did to it. It’s really sore right between my shoulder blades, so last night I tried sleeping in a ‘hug-the-shoulders’ position to see if I’d feel any better today. I do feel a bit better, but it’s still sore. I’ll try the same position tonight and see how I am tomorrow.

The send-off at the airport on Saturday went well. We had a surprisingly tasty, but hugely overpriced, coffee at the airport, and then we said our goodbyes. When we left the airport, M and I decided to go to the Earl of Leicester for a hugely oversized, but very well-priced, schnitzel. Honestly, they have the best schnitzels in Adelaide. There was a couple sitting behind us, who looked over when we got our food, and I felt like such a pig hauling back a plate whose every square centimetre (and then some) was covered in food, while M had a much more manageable-looking plate of fish and chips. Oink. But I gave him half my schnitzel, so I hope the other people saw that and didn’t think I ate the whole thing by myself. Ah yes, it is very economical going there - we never need to have any dinner.

Sunday was a day of grocery shopping and visiting Cookie (my uncle’s cat), and of M trying to fix our internet connection. It is currently not working, so hopefully someone will fix it soon. I really have no idea what to do with myself without an internet connection at home - there have been several times I’ve thought about heading up to the computer room, only to realise that there wouldn’t be any point. I was so desperate to use my computer on Saturday that I actually played Freecell, Minesweeper and Spider. I think that says it all.
