mixed business








I can't remember when I last visited Mixed Business (probably 2019) but clearly it went out of business without much warning, if the blackboard etc is anything to go by. Shame, it was a good place, but obviously I've been in the wrong part of town to be a regular customer. Maybe we all, my demographic I mean, left the Clifton Hole/North Fitzroy area. 

In this instance I only went past because Perry and I were going to visit Ruffey Lake Park.  

'Maps on my phone' (as I endearingly call it - they need to do better branding) said it would take just under 40 minutes to get there. 35 minutes later we were still driving through Clifton Hole, so I just thought fuck it, this is a non-starter. We walked around North Fitzroy instead (the distinction between the two places is very blurry) and I got an apple pie and a coffee from a shop in NF and we ate it in the park at Rushall Station - Perry likes apple pie, could that have been predicted? 

Nothing else happened really. Oh, I would like to note this: last night I was on RRR and there is a textline, as you might know, and someone sent the message (this is the whole message): 'fuc on'. New catchphrase.

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
