Woke early

Bfast w/ N, at Two Brothers café, in Mitcham rd

9:15 AM
Stand-up

10:10 AM
Telehealth appointment, my doctor late by 2+ hrs

12:30 PM
A one-mine phonecall. Bloods ok. US ok. Doc said he'd get a 2nd opinion, but at this stage nothing to do and nothing to avoid doing. If pain returns then book in to see him again

3 PM
I didn't stop for lunch. About to summit my timesheet, do my weights, then it's knockoff time

6 PM
Finally finished my workout

Mosquito-fish have been added to my bottom tank 

Shubunkins are in a baby bath on my back deck & will be ready to go into my backyard pond tomrw

7 PM
Tried to go to Penang, the new Malaysian restaurant, in Boronia Rd but it wasn't open. Perhaps they haven't launched yet 

Instead when to Thai with N next to Ditch Rules gin distillery. It was delicious. Cute, little place. I took 2 don't look down photos — including one where i asked the waiter to turn on the light for me. I'm sure i have never asked that before in my 14+ years of taking photos looking up at lights 

I was asked recently which was my first Don't Look Down photo — and i can't fit the life of me remember (it was so long ago). I'll have to think on it some more 

Cocktail at Such Rules was great, a martini 

I had a GSM which was just okay, not bad

We had plenty to drunk at Foragers and left around midnight

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...

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

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
