It was pretty quiet at Hooked, so I got to leave at 3 instead of 4, so I claimed another coffee from the cafe giving away free coffees for their opening, until they closed and tried to find Bournvita as a present to the kitchen boys (it's like a chocolate milkshake from India) but they didn't have any in store in the Prahan Convenience store. I walked back home, and then me and Amanda got ready for a night out listening to Stevie Nicks and R.E.M. She went off t...

Another chill out day involving going to the bank, and buying saganaki and then cooking said saganaki. It's a Greek cheese which is like a cross between mozzarella and halloumi and it was absolutely delicious! Sienna sell it as a tapas and so had wanted to try it, but hadn't realised how expensive it is - $10 for 2 wedges. Later on, I had work at Sienna which was quite quiet for a Friday.

Lie-in day, finally! I slept until midday, which was too late to meet up with Alice, Mia and Samia for lunch before they went to work.

I didn't realise that ...

There was a note in the till saying it was supposed to be $16 over, but when I counted it I thought it was $4 under, and then when I cashed up it was somehow $13.90 so I have no idea what was going on there, but it was a very confusing day! I actually managed to come home in between Hooked and Sienna today, although didn't manage to have a nap. It was still quite reviving anyway. Arnie has a new system for managing outside, where people stay outside, and ge...

So much for it being dead! It was a beautiful sunny day and so people who weren't at the Melbourne Cup were out in force, and a fair few wanted to come and have fish and chips. I stayed until 5 again, which I'll get a good rate for because of it being a public holiday. I got another delirious comical moment at the end, whilst I was eating my meal at one of the benches, Dinesh was having a break sat at one of the tables, Vicki was on one side behind the counter,...
