I just popped down to the eastern suburbs to dig a few holes

I went down to Bondi yesterday to help out Mitzi with my awesome digging skills.  This, of course, enabled me to sing a bit of Sixteen Tons (though I suspect we didn't actually dig that much dirt.)



After our work we went to the beach and had some very nice sushi within view of the sea.  I was reminded of what some eastern suburbs stereotypes look like.  There were a lot of people with expensive cars and clothes and sunglasses and shoes and haircuts and plastic surgery sitting around looking fashionable and rich.  Some day I may have a lot of money, but I can pretty much guarantee that I will never have an interest in being as visibly affluent as some of these guys.

While I was in the city I decided to see if anyone else was around.  I wound up popping over to visit a friend for a coffee, which turned into dinner, which turned into me staying in Potts Point for the night and shopping in the morning, though nothing was bought.  I couldn't find anything I liked.

Good news, my legs feel almost good as new again.  No more soreness in the muscles and only a little ache in my left ankle.

Garden work can make for a good workout. Helping a friend and ending the day with dinner on the beach = win.

Digging is a good workout. I much preferred digging to planting.

Such an awesome day. It may look as if I'm holding a squeedgie, but it's a trowel.

I hope it looks good now that phase 1 is done.

What a nice guy. Hope you had fun despite all the hard labor.

I haven't done much digging in my lifetime, but I have a good idea what it's like. The beach sounds so nice.

The beach is nice. I try to go every day when I'm in Sydney.

I've got a strange crick in my back now so I don't know if I could do a lot of digging today.
