Friday was an exciting day at work. I worked at the nursing home in Melton South. It is quite far away. I have to take a regional train to get there but there are not many stops so I am able to get there relatively quickly. I was the only physiotherapist there and I wasn't familiar with many of the residents so it took me a bit of time to do everything but generally it was a productive day. After work on Friday I went into the city and bought jewelry to go with my work clothes. I feel like I have been looking a bit plain. I also got a new bucket from Daiso for more composting. 

Saturday I work early I need to get the 6:34 train in order to make it to work by 8. I accidentally got my train times wrong so that when the train flew past me whilst I was walking to the station I was stuck with a $70 cab ride to work. Luckily being a physiotherapist pays better than being a sports trainer so it was worth the cost. After work I went out for lunch with physiotherapy friends. We were going to go shopping but lunch ran late and I was out of time. 2 stores in Damien met us and we went to the cricket game. It is the first round of the cricket World Cup and Australia smashed England 341 to 231. I still don't like cricket but the game was better than expected. For dinner we went to meatball. It is so tasty! Everything I imagined and more. Meatballs of every variety including quinoa and accompaniments such as buns, salad, pasta, and mashed potato. We got brisket sliders, pasta with chicken meatballs, and prime rib on quinoa salad. It was delicious. There were ice cream balls with cookies but I was much to full. On the way home I saw a very cool lite show dance performance. I don't think I fully understood it but there were 6 girls that walked through hanging balls which lit up and played music when they touched them. Cool! 

Sunday I got up early, went for a run picked up groceries and the Internet. Came home and set up the Internet, went to the market, got more food and breakfast. There is a guy who uses market supplies to make fabulous breakfasts unfortunately he is really good at adding secret ingredients that I'm allergic to so my poached egg on polenta brioche came with lentils. That was fine I just took a bit or two of the polenta and then traded it to Damien for a his market fresh burger. In the afternoon we went to the Greek festival where we had liquid nitrogen ice cream which is really really good but seems to melt faster than standard ice cream especially in the heat. Damo's friend Ying had a birthday party at escape hut at 4. We were split into groups of 3 and got 1 hour to solve a mystery to get out of the room. It was pretty cool but I was expecting a bit more. Our group got stuck on the last clue because of poor handwriting and took 1hour and 1 minute to finish. Not too bad though. 

Damien and I had double dinner plans. With Ying and also with a friend of Damo's from Adelaide. Somehow we got out of both events and ended up having tea for dinner whilst doing chores since we were so full from lunch.
