ooo whoops just went ahead and skipped 5 days writing here lol. the weekend is less important for underscores journal. although did end up going on a successful bike ride on saturday while also ticking off an end-of-train-line visit:
- sat 6th: we took the train to mernda and had some lunch there - then rode the bikes down a path and into the plenty gorge. unfortunately there is only one road that crosses the plenty stream so although we only needed to take this road for aprox 5 mins to cross its a state highway that connects two major strips so not a fun road to bike on. we needed to cross the road to get to the side street but we were between two corners and a passing lane (where cars go extra fast) so this ended up being a bit more stressful than i planned. after this it was nice dirt roads all the way to the blue lake which was a great spot... ended up taking a different route back (to another train line) that was better and overall a great ride that pushed our limits a bit lol...
- sun 7th: planned to go to the gaza rally in morning but lucy was recovering from a migraine and decided to skip this week. we met with lucys cousins and his children at a board game bar in the city which was a cool spot. played a game called galaxy trucker which went down well
- mon 8th: went to the gym in the morning. then spent some time unsuccessfully trying to fix my flatmates bike. i want to get it going again since it was damaged when we crashed into each other. its frustrating when you end up out of your depth but i needed to call it. spent the afternoon opshoping in western suburbs and found some clothes and books i liked.. made a curry pizza for dinner
- tues 9th: had the 5th lesson of my online class - which went well - still a good turnout and people pretty engaged. then ordered some parts for an upcoming perfect circuit order and jlcpcb order... had trashpalace film club screening in the evening - a small turnout but the film we watched (NEPTUNE FROST) was a hit
- wed 10th: went to the gym again. spent most of the morning preparing for the next weeks trashpalace screening which will also be the last of this season. i like to make a little edit with clips from each film we watched for the final screening so it took a bit longer to prepare. had a great dinner out a laksa king a restaurant close to us that we like. tried to layout a restock for some circuits in the shop but didnt finish before clocking off for the night...
- thurs 11th: today lucy and i rode to the north fitzroy library again to work remotely. im trying to fix up some bugs on the cypher codebase. made some progress but also got a but stuck down a rabbit hole. also replied to a lot of messages and emails...
