Magic & a croissant at manta-ray coffee roasters
Inked³ café is temporarily closed for a refresh

My back seems good today. No gel required. I did weights last night comfortable (and i think the sit-ups may be doing it good)

No trivia (they went to the fox on monday)

UBER TO ST KILDA

To see an acoustic gig: Delsinki Craig and Brooke Taylor. Both i like individually, however they have formed a band together for tonight 

Rugged up to protect from the chilly St Kilda breeze off the water

Dogs Bar - CB&Co IPA (surprisingly excellent)
The Vineyard + CB&Co "South West" Sour (tasty!)
The Ember Lounge - The Desserters (small room)
The Espy Basement - free entry 10pm-10:30pm

Brooke's voice was fantastic, powerful, do controlled (steel string guitar). Craig's voice is astounding too, thick, rich, super deep at times (banjo, mandolin, steel string guitar).

Their tunes are always interesting, especially lyrically. The support guy was their 3rd band member (keyboards, electric bass, accordian). They were so together. The songs in that room made the hairs on my arm stood on end

The thought popped into my head
"We don't deserve d̶o̶g̶s̶ live music this good" (?)

Total steps: 9,500

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
