Had some home cooked food at cousin’s place in Bundoora last night. Taken with the Sigma 30mm which I got while I was in NYC. It appeals by having a 1.4 aperture, but that’s about the only appeal it has. The focusing distance is too far for most of the shots I like to take so I can’t really get the framing I like. This picture is one of the better ones, and I like how the bowls stack up at the back, giving it a homely feel.

Was going to go for a run, but after a minute of feeling little droplets here and there, decided to turn back. Just checked the weather report and it’s supposed to be rainy today. Will see if the weather clears up later or I’d just go running tomorrow.

Signed up for the annual Run For the Kids. They seem to have bumped up the signup fee this time and also donate less to the Royal Children’s Good Friday Appeal this year. Not particularly pleased with it, but I guess I’ll do it for one more year anyway. The run is 55 days from now, so slightly less than two months to get the feet and body in shape to push through 14.6km. Aiming for maybe 1 hr 15 to 20 min time this year, so will need to be a little more disciplined training for it.

Also finally signed up for my first CPA paper. Called them up on Friday asking about my application and it seems to have got lost over the Christmas period as I had put the application in more than a month ago. Anyway, got the confirmation yesterday and signed up for one paper (sometimes it’s just a phone call away to get things moving, and I needed to do it as a couple more days and the exam fees go up by $100). Not sure how much work is involved in the preparation, so one subject first, and another 5 after that.

Sun seems to have popped back out, think will go for a run.
