2026-04-10 (Friday WFO - Tooronga)

Heidi was at Nigel café this morning ~ 8:20am
I had met that dog once — before the café had that doggy-treat jar with her photo on it. Back then i wasn't aware that she's a celebrity dog 

Drive time: 25 min door-to-door

I was surprised how smoothly the traffic moved. I was needing to stop to tie back my hair & only got two short traffic lights

All of a sudden, after ignoring it completely, it is nearly Xmas day.... and i have done 0 to prepare for it I can see that this is day 377 of this daily journal — give or take — because i began on Dec 14, 2024 To re-read that original blog post today has been interesting (probably only to me). I found 2 typos which is a bit annoying, albeit not at all surprising  I expected that last week i would be swanning about like last year — instead of daily hospital hangs. The benefits of not day-drinking have included: fewer calories, less risk of accident, and getting closer to N If they send her home today then i will be in two minds about it / feel conflicted. Because she had 8/10 pain this morning (she described as "manageable") & was waiting for the hour when the nurses were allowed to give her more pain meds (which is Panadol but alternates)  My concern is that chronic pain "management" may be more difficult by herself at home alone where: tempted to ...

Worked in at the red supermarket HQ, quiet, productive Subway for lunch Out to eltham w/ N • Naught Distillery ... cocktail flight @ 7:30 PM • Prosciutto Bros ... nice woodfire pizza, one beer • Slowbeer, Montmorency ... better beers • Foragers ... nice beers NAUGHT DISTILLERY (GIN) They started out with alcohol-free gins, now they do the regular gins too.

I stayed over night at N's which was unplanned We walked to Mr Robertson early on the morning (me without my contact lenses) but we arrived 30 min before they opened. They had a late start sure to the time of year, 8am So, we kept walking to my place — where i could put on my spectacles & then drive us back you the café. I had the chili scramble ("Harissa") and she had the baked eggs (extremely tomato-y). Both had chorizo, feta, and a sprinkle of green Then i dozed, or perhaps slept, and flipped around on ebay — looking at miniatures to potentially buy I ended up ordering 2 matchbox cars, and a metal jet engine keyring. The later can be for my new "Tiny Adventurer" photography project.... whenever my 1:64 rucksack wanderer arrives (feb?) I've subsequently printed a space shuttle (in black & white) which i thought may make a dramatic 1st photo —with that silver jet engine— a plane crash / spaceship crash to give him a backstory Although it...
