En Montreal il pleut...
Jun. 13th, 2012 12:20 pm...and how!
Came back from the conference this afternoon and lay on the couch for a moment. When I opened my eyes it was suddenly four hours later. Still I slept badly last night and, of course, hardly at all in the 48hrs preceding so perhaps not entirely surprising. Of course I have now slept right through the dinner hour and can't really bring myself to eat at 10pm in the evening. Strangely I'm not hungry, which I hope is because I had a large lunch and not because I'm going to wake up ravenous at 5am. As opposed to waking up at 5am just because that is when the sun rises here at the moment.
And just now there was a street protest which seemed like a strange time for one (at 10:15pm on a Tues night) given the streets were pretty much empty. Perhaps they just didn't want to go out in the rain. It was raining Queensland style for most of the afternoon. There was another protest on Monday at lunchtime, which seemed like more sensible timing. All something to do with students and the grand prix or something - I haven't been watching the news much.
Anyway I got the two talks I was due to give out of the way today, so hopefully now I can relax and enjoy the rest of the conference. And maybe try to get my sleep/eat cycle in some kind of order.
