Thursday #99 – up until 5.30pm this
Thursday I have very little recollection of how my day was as I have left it
almost 3 weeks to write this. I remember
what happened after work but sadly cannot remember the always riveting details
about my breakfast, lunch and patients – a sad moment for all of us.
After work I decided to head into Chatswood
and surprise DTM when he finished work.
Having done this before I wasn't sure how surprised he'd be and I did my
best to maintain an over-the-phone-poker-face when he rang and asked me what I
wanted to do tonight as I was walking from my car to his work. I had to tell him I would come and meet him
as otherwise he may have been on the bus home by the time I got to his work. He was still surprised by how quickly I
arrived as he assumed I was 15-20 minutes away rather than 2. Win.
After grabbing some dinner (probably
schnitzel but I really don't recall) we headed to the RSL for some cheap
beverages. We were surprised to stumble
upon a trivia night and despite normally favouring a team comprising of more
than just the two of us, we thought we might as well give it a crack. It was a small turn out that week with only 3
other teams competing so we told ourselves we might have a legitimate chance
here. Not so.
The trivia was pretty good (and having
sampled trivia at Dee Why Hotel, Belrose Hotel, Terrey Hills Tavern and
Forestville RSL I consider myself a bit of an expert) and the TV screen with
picture clues was a nice touch but sadly we did not end our night top of the
table. We came 4th and since
we scored ourselves drink vouchers for this we do not consider it a loss, it's
just a strange coincidence that everyone else got prizes and there wasn't a 5th
team...
After trivia we enjoyed our free drink
before heading home. A pretty good
Thursday night as we vowed to return with more of a crew to defend our
prestigious “win”.
