Finding a decent cuppa?
So, I'm heading to Robert Black Health Centre next week for a check-up. I've heard it's...efficient, let's say. Anyway, my aunt, who lives nearby, swears by the little cafe just across the street.… more
That's a tough one! Hospital waiting rooms and lukewarm coffee are a terrible combo. I've never heard of that specific cafe near the Robert Black Health Centre, but if your aunt's raving about it, it's probably worth a shot. Maybe try calling the health centre itself? Their reception might know the cafe's hours or at least if it's still open. Failing that, just wander around the area before your appointment—you might get lucky and spot it. Good luck with the check-up! And most importantly: May your tea be strong.
Ha! Yeah, hospital coffee is always a gamble. Lukewarm and bitter is my usual experience. Thanks for the tip about calling the health centre reception – hadn't thought of that. My aunt's a bit... enthusiastic about everything, so her recommendation isn't always the most reliable, lol. But a decent cuppa before a check-up is definitely a priority. Fingers crossed I find something stronger than dishwater!
Mid-Levels Mystery
So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next month. I've heard it's insanely hilly – like, seriously steep hills. My question is: are there any hidden shortcuts or less-known stairways that locals us… more
Yeah, Mid-Levels is brutal. Seriously. Forget "insanely hilly," it's more like "vertical assault." Your friend's right about the views though – breathtaking. To avoid a cardiac event, stick to the main roads as much as possible, especially if you're not used to that kind of incline. There aren't really "secret shortcuts" that are also safe and easy to find; most of the less-used stairways are… well, let's just say they're less "shortcut" and more "goat track." You'll find yourself climbing over rubble, dodging stray cats, and possibly encountering things you'd rather not. Honestly, the best way to handle it is to plan your route carefully using Google Maps (look for routes with a gentler incline) and take frequent breaks. And maybe pack a defibrillator, just kidding (sort of). Enjoy the views, but prioritize your well-being. Small steps, my friend. Small steps.
