Sydney Day 8 – The End is Nigh

Posted: September 14, 2025 in Uncategorized

As is the body. Have had some good drinking sessions but no hangovers or even a tad seedy. Very hard to get going in morning though. Takes about an hour before can actually stand up straight with back issues and knees are groaning from the walking. Going to take a wild guess and suggest I am getting older. Back issues from a very soft bed and disrupted sleep with noise and nose I am guessing. While 7 days may well have been enough will enjoy these extra two days but at a more relaxed, approaching comatose , state. Last wash ( clothes not body) is on so one less thing to stress about😏 Of course being Sunday Bloody Sunday no cafes are open early so will stick with my Babettes in QVB when opens at 7 am for coffee and toast . Once again a beautiful morning

Only real plan today is watch Broncos at 230 pm. Toyed with idea of sitting in pub to watch but yeah no. Easy to watch in comfort of room and still have Pringle Plan. Do have a couple of bars to check out still but of course closed on a Sunday πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Quickly put two and three together and thought ya body feels crap and bars are closed – how about a massageπŸ€”. Only 15 within one square mile and all with name Thai in it so chose closest one as it was Royal. Limped down at 930 am and went straight in and it was very good indeed. For same money as an hour at Maybe Sammy came out also feeling relaxed but could walk in a straight line. 😏 Didn’t get any bartender phone numbers though…..

One thing about big rain events is weather afterwards is usually great for a few days as it has been in Sydney. Will wander back out soon to grab some lunch but just a roll or similar methinks. I wish I had found this map at start of week 😏

Thought the Broncos was on at 230 pm but turns out it’s 4 pm 😏 Watched first 60 mins and thought Raiders on way to win . Headed to first pub The Burrow for another Negroni and it was quiet. The Taste of Pain was delicious and toasted The Broncos losing

Then it was time to head to Old Loves a Rum bar for a change . Good atmosphere so started with some Eldorado 12 yr old with cane juice. Checked score and it was 28:26 – the beauty of Foxtel GO on phone. Time then for a rum cocktail and settle in for the overtime.

Watched the Raiders score what assumed was winning try and settled up and walked home. Then saw result ! Wow. Think Walsh will be fine but Carrigan could be in trouble. Week off is a big blessing now .

So a quiet day ended very well . One to go
