My Week

Mon: i like to think im a bit of a cyclist and have been clocking up some big km’s over the break, i did a pretty serious ride on sunday so my legs were totally blown out when riding into work today, so much so that i got overtaking by an old lady riding up a hill. hopefully i see her tomorrow so i can show her who’s boss ;P

Tue: i didn’t see the old lady today, and its probably a good thing, because i would’ve had a bit of competition on my hands. Only 1 near miss, ahhh… the joys of cycling.

Wed: at lunch i went for a walk up and down bridge rd looking for a newsagent, according to truelocal and google maps theres one at 116 bridge rd, i walked past there several times but no dice, its got me bamboozled, one thing i did notice on this adventure were these little plaques outlining what stores used to be there, who would’ve guessed that at 116 bridge rd in 1865 Benjamin Closet conducted a bazaar there, cool.

Thurs: starting work in a new suburb is great, you get to suss out all the new eateries and fine tune your lunch habits, today i went to a new sushi place, i thought id try a cooked salmon hand roll for the first time, well…
when that deep fishy taste hit the back my throat i knew i was in for a rough ride, my eyes glazed over and i couldn’t swallow, nasty, thats one thing i can eliminate from the lunch menu.

Fri: i thought i’d go for a walk to check out all the plaques outlining the previous stores along bridge rd, most of what i saw were pretty much what you’d expect – bookmaker, watchmaker, grocer etc. amongst these were a few gems though – hay and corn store, furrier, straw dresser, and my personal fav – Mrs Beale operated ‘a fancy repository’ in 1863, even though anything ye olde gives me the creeps a bit of history is always good.

good week, great to meet a new bunch of awesome people, now I just have remember everyone’s name : |
