No traveling today. Just the short drive up to Carlingford Court and hardcore recovery.
Carlingford Court is a whole multiverse – a mall, a market, a food court, a plaza. Very Aussie core but also heavy Asian character and energy. You’ve got the big supermarket chains running the food game, but also heaps of Chinese banks, grocery spots, and food places. We demolished some noodle plates and just sat there people-watching like it was live reality TV. Carlingford’s kinda mid-west Sydney — not Parramatta far, but some way from downtown Sydney. Large Chinese community here: established Cantonese group and more recent settlement from the Chinese mainland. The food slaps. Prices are basically UK-core.
Afternoon nap? For sure.
Rested? Yes.
But I can feel the 2am wide-awake zombie hours loading… 😭
