After a weekend (and preceding week) like this one needs to recover properly Lets start with last Sunday: The boulder hunting expedition (“aka Things to do while you’re trying not to worry about whether she likes you or not”) I had Monday off, thus making myself a nice long weekend (Tuesday was Woman’s day).
