This morning I did my 5k run, but it was tough conditions with warm and humid weather even shortly after sunrise. I ran down past the local ferry wharf, which has been closed under renovations for the past 6 months or so. I’d expected it to open before Christmas and was pleased to see today that it was newly open again. This is good news because we occasionally use the ferry to get around the harbour to various destinations, and we can take Scully on board (whereas she’s not allowed on trains).
I spent time this morning doing some Darths & Droids comics work.
And then we joined members of my wife’s family up at Organica restaurant for a family lunch to celebrate her brother’s birthday. There were seven of us (plus Scully). The weather was warm and humid, but we had a nice shady outside table. The food was good – I had a grilled barramundi fillet, which came with fennel, grilled cherry tomatoes, and grilled lemon half, and romesco sauce (I’m linking it because I don’t know about anyone else, but I can never remember what’s in romesco). I haven’t had this dish there before and it was good.
We got back from the lunch quite late and I didn’t have much time before starting ethics classes for the evening. During a one hour break I made myself a simple dinner which was essentially a vegetarian croque madame – essentially a grilled cheese sandwich with a fried egg on top. Something quick and relatively light after the big lunch.
