And today starts the journey to resetting my internal clock for work.
I know I fail almost everytime I do this but maybe I actually do it today.

Sleepy, the garbage trucks were extra early and extra noisy this morning.
It's a few years old, but this episode about the sound of sport from 99% Invisible is really interesting - https://pca.st/episode/81cbf660-03f3-0132-a289-5f4c86fd3263
Looking for recommendations for a good watch repair place in the CBD.
I replaced the movement but it turns out that I no longer have the eye sight / fine motor skills needed to put the watch hands back on.....
Being in my 50's is a wonderful thing.

I never managed to sort out the problem changing my bank account with the work payroll portal, they ended up having to enter it manually for me. So now my pay will be going to my shiny new savings account, earning 5% interest with Macquarie, instead of the boring old transaction account, which was about to have it's interest rate cut to 2.75%. I expected the biggest hassle would be changing all my automatic payments, the actuall payroll bit was supposed to be easy!
Wasted an hour this morning not being able to find my keys. Turns out they'd fallen into a boot. Well there goes my prep time for today's meeting...
Alrighty. One more sleep to the gig!
Now the excitement is building up 🎶🎸
Jesus christ it's fucking hot on this train. Sweating buckets. Poor dude near me looks like he thinks I'm a biohazard
Edit: bought a spare set of strings just in case. I'm glad I have a couple of hours after work to just chill out beforehand.
I hate this humidity too - but my plants are loving it. Last autumn I hacked my pot bound ginger lily into 5 pieces and planted each one in separate pots. This morning all 5 have put out new shoots as its finally warm enough and wet enough for it.

So I tried Five Guys last night
Fries = legit, still had a really nice texture even after a journey in the front of my scooter in the rain. Massive serving. There’s a station at the back of the ordering line where you can fill your own tubs of ketchup, mayo and malt vinegar, so your chips get sauces and stuff entirely to your liking
Burger = got a cheeseburger. Thought it was decent; probably not worth as much as it actually cost, but I did like being able to customise it fully for no extra charge.
Shake = basic vanilla for testing purposes, was thicc
I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to Five Guys again, but if you’re in the area it’s pretty solid fast food
