Friday was online board games night with my friends. I had four ethics classes during the day. I had an amusing answer from one kid when I asked what was good about video games, and she said they were good because parents can use them to keep their kids occupied so they can have some quiet time.
Scully had her grooming and haircut in the afternoon. Last regular grooming my wife decided not to have her har cut, since it was cut pretty short the last time, and it’s winter so she figured she can grow her hair a bit longer. By yesterday Scully was very woolly. But after her grooming she looks very svelte and sleek.
We went straight from picking her up at the groomer to grab some dinner at Organica, the new place we’ve tried a couple of times. I had a chicken parmigiana which was pretty good, and grabbed a slice of carrot cake to take home for dessert while playing games.
We played King of Tokyo, then 7 Wonders, then some Just One, and Scattergories. We had an epic moment in Just One, when five people gave clues, but four of them duplicated and so were eliminated, and the guesser only got one clue: solstice. And he correctly guessed the answer was “winter”.
This morning I went for a 5k run. I don’t know why, but it felt like very hard going today and my time was not great. I guess some days your body is just not ready for it.
I made a Darths & Droids comic, and went for a long walk with my wife and Scully. We walked past the two cafes that closed recently over at Waverton to see what was up with them. Botanica is just shuttered up and looks dead and abandoned, with no signs of anything happening there. But the old Waterview Cafe which closed more recently is almost open again, with signs up proclaiming it to now be Bay Brew. The inside is new and shiny, with new counters, tables, chairs, and a huge new coffee machine. It looks like it could open any day.
In other opening news, the delayed ew Sydney Metro line that was supposed to open on 4 August is now scheduled to open on Monday 19th. So I might get to try it out on Thursday when I travel into the city for the next image processing lecture at the university.
Today was pretty warm, getting up to 21°C. It feels like winter is ending. It should be getting even warming during the next week.
