More catching up, this time with SMS-girl, not seen in person for 3 years due to odd incidents, but fortunately things seem fine and we stay in Globe - she drinks barcardi and coke whilst I drink more gin and lime - until they kick us out (where to go on a Monday night anyway ? Maybe it's true what all the overseas student friends of mine say about Melbourne being a boring place, but I always reckon they're not trying hard enough) so we we walk down Chapel St so she can get some smokes, from the 24 hour milk store that used to be a 7-11 or something but is now a lone ranger in the world of all night conveniences. We walk further, all the way to Dandenong Road, finding nowhere to go and nothing to do but hail a taxi.
