Breakfast coffee at Jolimont café (no food)
Work was ok. Had my yearly review & a Town Hall

BIRTHDAY DINNER
Borsch Vodka and Tears, chapel st prahran

I fear my beers tonight will be Polish. I have never met a polish beer that i like. How can they fuck up a pilsner so badly. They are right next to Germany aren't they. Czech seem to be able to nail it consistently. Poland have a specific taste that they must do on purpose but it is too full-on and i find it very off-putting

That being said, i have boycotted the Polish beers for too many years. I am willing to give them a chance ... tonight only

They were out of POLISH beers. N and i enjoyed Budvars (Czech). The food was magnificent. Warm beetroot broth severed in a mug. Potato pancakes, saurkraut (pickled cabbage), sour cream, jalapeño puree, "pidgeons" which are dumplings: beef, mushroom, sweet potato

NAUGHTY NANCY'S: red/white wine & live guitarist

JUNGLE BOY: cocktail/red wine

HOLY GRAIL was too pumping. They had a dj. Instead we went to THE PIANO BAR which was great. Extremely talented young pianist performing clever piano-renditions of cover songs by request 

FORAGERS for two range double IPAs as fullstop

Sulpher-crested chimkens (Rowville - Mitcham) On my morning walk i saw A's old neighbour, S. We had a quick conversation by shouting accross the road - him in his car at the traffic lights & me waiting to cross the road I was up early and straight into the shower, rather than checking my phone too throughly. I feel that my morning scrolling is best done over a coffee – however tempting it is as a daily-first-thing to pick up the phone to check "all of the things" (news, chat notifications, email, wordle) It must have been too chilly for the chickens up on boronia rd. They were not out pecking in the yard which seemed unusual. Presumably the were huddled up in the coop – i couldn't really see in N and i went to Project Brewing in roweville for the first time. The beers were very good. I had a burger and we are quite sure they delivered a different burger than what i ordered - regardless it was tasty (even perhaps better ingredients than what i had chosen) Back to f...

Catfish (Mitcham - Vermont - Brunswick) Got home at 9:30am. Shower. Meditate. Back out 1-3pm Range Brewing tap takeover at co-conspirators, brunswick. Surprised by "The Don" And then Catfish in gertrude st. Garage Project takeover. Two highlights were the barrel sours Foragers for a final "full stop" beer ... or two. Boriggy Hazy IPA. N closed the door as we left the bar —habitually— as if they had called last-drinks, which next day we figured was too early by about 5 hrs. Hilarious In bed by 8:30pm or so

Foragers A few laid-back beers turned into a fairly big session of Jagermeister, huge barrel-aged stouts, and IPAs I've parked nearby, so i'll stay over at N's apartment tonight & leave early when she needs to go to work Overall i feel grateful & relaxed. I've heard some things that make me think that this fling might be a thing - unsure how i feel about that but for sure it's feeling overwhelmingly like positive vibes 12:21am
