I only did 900 steps yesterday, so i have gone for a short walk to see some sunshine this morning My throat feels somewhat improved. Although, my nose is sniffly. I thought it best to avoid the local coffee shops again today My body feels tired. I have had a discernible fever overnight since ~ 9 pm when i took myself to bed I send to wake every hour or so throughout the night. Fortunately, in had a few podcasts to lull me back to sleep: Keith & The Girl, How Did This Get Made (Raindeer Games). I've knocked off work a little early ~ 4:30pm. I've managed to tick a few things off my list Back out for a walk in the wind. Head-to-toe black was perhaps a mistake Bed time: 9pm Total steps: 10,300

I have a great cold, so i am a bit grumpy today Instant coffee at home in the morning I've taken delivery of coloured pebbles for Pixel Took a break from work at 3pm for light weights  I watched Videodrome (1983, Cronenberg, James Woods) which T warned me is quiet bad. At least only 90 min Total steps: 700

Walked in bellbird dell this morning before coffee Cosy on my hoodie. Only a high of 15°C today I thought during the night i might be getting a door thrust but this morning feel fine, slightly lethargic Dimocks café looks a bit sad: no sandwiches in the front, water glasses at the self-serve are disposable cups, the kitchen sparkling, a sign on the front door "from next year we will be closed sat/sun" Redwood sign today reads "from next year open 7 days incl. public holidays" Pizza joint near Forest Hill Chase has a fish table I watched Straw Dogs(1971, Dustin Hoffman) butt i didn't think it was very enjoyable nor impressive Bird species: 15 Total steps: 8,500

Felt bit dusty after pints last night. Took panadol Word Cloud based on my daily journaling (that i begun here at the start of 2025) kinda sucked I've faked up this version word by word word word like a dork ✔️ Grilled toasties ✔️ Did dishes ✔️ Fussed over hops, pond fish, pixel's pebbles ✔️ Uploaded beer photos 20+ ✔️ Put air in my tyres Skipped weights RICHMOND 7pm - N's uber via my address to pick me up.

Worked at Tooronga, my customer's head office Miso & Peanut Butter cookie with my coffee Drove to the office ~ 25min. My customer has Fridays in the office, so i drive in to join the team. It is only once a week (usually) so it isn't too tiring However, Fridays used to be my most productive day: and now they are my least productive  Also: my customer used to have "meeting free" Fridays. And now it is the only day that everybody is free for a meeting, so the project managers will book time in our calendar When everybody's calendar is full, that probably means they need more staff? but that means $$$ RICHMOND ~ 7:30pm Bar 360 is a small bottleshop with corkage.
