Manty Ray Coffee Roasters I had a baker's delight apple & walnut scroll for breakfast Walked to manta ray for a morning coffee. It drizzled slightly on my walk home. I was a little late logging in  My fingerbot successfully turned on my ducted heater (from bed) this morning, which was a good way to start the day I had done wordle overnight at ~2am when i woke for a little time. Keith And The Girl podcast out me back to sleep. The guest was Mimi Cherry DARKNET DIARIES I've listened to some Darknet Diaries podcast episodes this week too.

No sore throat this morning, thankfully I did weights at lunchtime Also pruned my lavender (and roses) After work i setup my Fingerbot, which is a wifi device that lets me control my ducted heating from my phone. It seems to work quite well 

Sore throat Day 2 I woke up to find my throat sure just like yesterday, which was a surprise.

Ate cheesymite scrolls from Baker's delight. Then we decided to go to mullum mullum to look for kangeroos. We saw 4 at the bridge, then 2 at the top of the hill  (Then the same 4 again at the bridge, then 3 on one side of the path, 3 on the other, then small ones, big ones ... we lost count) We ate dinner at the newly re-opened Sub-urban Rooftop in Ringwood. N showed me how to enter from the back into parking lot 5 and then go up to hear where the staff park (which is close to Sub-urban) We shared the steak (250g rump) and the steak sandwich. Both tasted delicious. We had 2 schooners: Mountain Culture XPA, Hamme...
