I woke early & made an instant coffee ~ 5am I didn't go back to sleep, only dozed briefly Barista coffee was required. I went to Jolimont I thought that i oughtn't sit inside and risk spreading my germs. There was only 1 person sitting in the back section outside, so i had my coffee delivered to my table out there She is usually there at the same time as me: an elderly, South African woman. Sometimes with her daughters who are both more or less my age My nose felt too blocked to attempt weights. My body felt tired, perhaps struggling to oxygenate For the 3rd night in a row, i watched a Cronenberg film. This time M. Butterfly (1993, Jeremy Irons, set in Mao's communist China) which was perhaps my favourite & the most polished of the three. It wasn't body horror, just an odd love story Bed time: 10pm

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

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
