Out To Lunch

My back twinges when I get up. It has been a little sore this last week.

Midday. We take the Bulldogs for a walk to find some lunch.

The sun is shining. The breeze is blowing. I guess, the day is what you’d call balmy, but nicely so. Nicely so, that is the day, that’s how it goes. Sunny and windy.

We wander through the park. The sun is warm, it is nice. There are lots of people out and about

We’re decide on Malaysian. I have sweet corn soup and sweet tofu.  Sam has Taiwanese fried chicken 

It’s a bit cold now we are stopped still. The wind becomes stronger and the sun becomes weaker. Sitting outside in what is now a windy day to eat is a very Melbourne thing to do

The Asian dad at the next table has sexy bald legs coming out of his shorts, I notice as they get up to leave.

We get up not long after, and my back twinges some more.

1pm. We’re walking home. The wind is blowing, it's blowing a carpet of dead plane tree leaves around now just above the ground.

We meet a nice man sitting outside the ice cream shop with his poodle on his lap. He asks questions about the Bulldogs. He seems nice.

We walk back through the park.

Forty five minutes we’re home again.

My back is really sore by then. I’m not exactly sure why? I did do leg presses in the gym yesterday. I have found in the past that leg press can make my back sore. I have avoided them for the longest time, I only really started doing them again just recently.

My back really twinges when I sit down on the couch. 

Fuck it, I think. I’m not going to the office tomorrow with this sore back. I’m nothing, if I am not an opportunist. But, I really do have a really sore back, it has got worse and worse as the day has progressed.

I will have to make an appointment with my Osteopath, I think. He’s moved, I will have to find him. My back twinges some more. I feel like a cripple suddenly when I get up. So, I take the having to make an appointment with my osteopath out of the mental to do list, and make one.

Midday tomorrow. Lovely.

And no going to the office. It is almost worth having a sore back just for that. 

I’ll have to remember to ask him about the leg press.
