Syd-diddly-idney

Glanced behind me at the traino and saw this picture-worthy peeled tree. It rained steadily all the way down. No trackwork, thankfully.

Vego lunch. Corn and pickled seaweed ships. Avocado and cucumber mini rolls. Hard to justify anything naughtier prior to a heart check!

Can't believe my #2 uni gave away my parking space to someone else. Saw piles of Survival Guides. I helped write one of those in the '90s.

Had chai lattes with AZ. Surprisingly cheap considering the location/niceness of the cafe. Spotted a strange construction like a wasp nest.

Ate Korean with CM and AM, trying tteokbokki and their style of seafood pancake for the first time. Also Kloud-brand beer. Impeccable service.

Played boardgame "Stupid Deaths" with da boyz (won 2/3). Listened to Queen's "A Kind Of Magic" on vinyl and assembled a huge new telly.

Was woken by bongo drums (C. and A. had warned me about their neighbour). Soon scoped out the two-storey LEGO store in the Pitt St Mall.

Subbers is still the best value fast-food joint. While I think of it, the tempting-est thing I saw at the LEGO store was the Orient Express kit.

Visited a gachapon arcade. Sadly, they were $5 a pop - and tokens could only be purchased via card from a machine I didn't trust. Sorry, froggies.

Was keen to view the Maedeup exhibition at the Korean Cultural Centre (a fave when I toiled in the CBD). Except it was Liberation Day holiday!

I can't look at the word maedeup without initially seeing "made up". Just as I can't look at this Neal Stephenson novel without seeing "read me".

For anyone wondering, the specialist was happy with my various test results from last month, plus a treadmill stress test done on the day.

Watching: "Batman - Caped Crusader" [Prime], "The Influencer" [Netflix], "Love Is Blind - Sweden" [also N.].

Playing: "Crackpots" [Atari Flashback 9 Gold], "Castle Ravenloft" boardgame (finally solo-ed all 13 scenarios. Took me years!).
