There was a swim in some cold an choppy water yesterday, and two kids on the beach who were moved to ask "what happened to your eye?"  A black eye had developed overnight and I wound up looking worse.

Getting away from Collaroy is a bit difficult at times but I managed to get away around noon before making it to a market in Marrickville where I met with Mitzi and picked up some chocolate beetroot cupcakes (that were not quite as good as they had been built up to be.)

I managed a recovery workout in Minou's neighbourhood.

YW: 20 dumbbell swings, 1 pushup... 1 dumbbell swing, 20 pushups.

The cupcakes were consumed at Minou's place, and they gave me the energy to wrestle with Dora (Mr Burns wasn't quite so keen to engage, or to be photographed.)



Apparently there will be a house dinner later this week, in which each of us will be responsible for one course.  Do TimTams count a a course?

This morning I was up early and went to All Bar Nun which has become the unofficial Holland World Cup HQ in Canberra.  I didn't have anything orange to wear but it didn't matter.  Spain was the better side, even though their one goal came just after what should have been an offside call and a goal kick that should have been a corner kick after the ball went out off a Spanish player.

How long will I last at work today?

Good call. And I suspect some four legged interlopers will be quite hopeful about getting a taste.

Mitzi mentions ...

Lucky, I travelled all the way from Deni via Melbourne for those beet-chocolate fudge cupcakes. Please do not malign them! Anyone else who would like to judge for themselves, you can get them from the pastry/cake stall opposite the Reverse Garbage warehouse at the Addison Road community centre on Sundays.

Perhaps your taste buds are better suited to judging Tim Tams and other mass produced product lines (ie not what I would call food.)

Just for those cupcakes? Nothing else?

I think the beetroot kept them quite moist. My mum did the same thing making chocolate zucchini cake for years.

Tim Tams count as a course (especially if served after a meal).

I am less perturbed about the Dutch losing than some of my cousins in Holland are.

I'm able to avoid feeling bothered by this or just about any sporting result.

TimTams and coffee would be an excellent dessert. Do the TimTam Slam.

If I'm going to have TimTams I almost have to have them with coffee.
