1st work of 2013 and bridge climb

Unfortunately back to work today on Wednesday 2nd January and woke up 9ish and kept thinking of going for a run but never happened. But I did start to sort out picture for my photo album which got on Groupon and looks like will be a long process. At work on a late and was nice only had 18 patients but had a few patients transferred. Then on Thursday on a early with Debbie, as Bianca now on annual leave for 2 weeks to lend with Gabs. At work was another nice shift was floating which I like as no writing to do but did a lot of S8 and 4's. After work went to the gym and ran on treadmill for 1.90 miles then went to Rhodes for tea had savoury crepe and smoothie and then grocery shopping.
On Friday 4th on another early still only had 18 patients was ok apart from one staff went missing over an hour with a patient. When got home went and laid round the pool for 2hrs as was still nice so shame not to make the most of it. Another early on Saturday and work busy had lots of washes to do but still done in plenty of time. Was a shame to be at work as looked such a nice day outside was over 30 degrees but when finished joined over round pool for a hour.
It was then off to do the Sydney Bridge Climb at 19.55 which is a truly unique way to see Sydney, its sparkling harbour and surrounds. Since when I did it 7 years ago i did the daylight decided to do night time this time as twilight abit more expensive. We were not sure if we would all be doing the same bridge climb but Bianca and Gabs was 10 minutes in front of us. As soon as go though to the bridge climb have breath test and fill in forms then time to put our suits on left my shorts and top underneath then get rest of our equipment and training for climbing bridge. It took about an hour for all this then it was time to go climb the bridge and see all Sydney has to offer in this magnificent city. By the time we got outside it was already dark but have headlamps to help you and was fortunate to have near perfect weather and clear views across the Harbour. I couldn't believe how well organised everything was and every aspect of your safety was taken care of, as safely connected to the bridge. Staff were friendly and helpful as soon as you walk in the door, it was an easy walk the only bit I didn't like was when I had to walk down the stairs as legs went like jelly but were fine once at bottom. Our guide 'Todd' was very funny and made me smile loads during the climb so the time seemed to fly, also during in climb could see Bianca and Gabs in front of us all the way. On completing we were given a certificate, hat and group photo and free trip up pylon. Then it was optional to buy others I bought a cd with 2 photos on as better value then can print off myself. We didn't actually finish the climb til 23.30 and I would highly recommend it must see if in Sydney if not afraid of heights. It was then time to head home not before stopping at McDonalds first for food had first apple pie didn't taste same as English one, got home at 1am
