I'm fully recovered and stronger than ever, but the factory I was working at still won't give me shifts, even with letters from the surgeon and my doctor respectfully. In truth, I really didn't like working there, being yelled at and generally being made to feel "less than". Can you relate to this? So my focus going forward is on self improvement, finding a sense of purpose and finding a decent job. Not easy tasks, but these things rarely are. In order to take my mind off things, I returned to my favourite Vietnamese restaurant, the **Pho Linh** for lunch. My preferred entree will always be the **chicken and corn soup**. ![img_0.9621268021469215](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTDC4KQxtVv4ikjYnww6arNGKqhtcMunHHFGKwXNxDGCk/img_0.9621268021469215.jpg)*Chicken and corn soup* The soup is rather thick, with cubes of freshly cooked chicken and corn kernels interspersed throughout. Another favourite entree is a plate of 3 **deep fried dim sims** with a side of chilli sauce. ![img_0.9945059508034931](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeV6fKPdxhqYVAT9kdm6Zx8tc6z2chi6zNhQDh6T43KAa/img_0.9945059508034931.jpg)*Dim Sims with chilli sauce* ![img_0.4491690051487929](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTpfUyfVcHNir6NXDuzxYGUyYxhhiwUTmyng3myKeKYDM/img_0.4491690051487929.jpg)*Interior view of the dim sim* Dim Sims are made from pork and sometimes cabbage and other vegetables. For the main course, I went with the **Chicken and Cashew Nuts** that includes vegetables. ![img_0.39497612966719803](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYBqiiuYsBUz445sJkTaXrTMg9nsnxjzQvws6BUa1M8Mr/img_0.39497612966719803.jpg)*Chicken and cashew nuts* It really is quite a lot of food, I must admit. After lunch, I headed to the train station and from there, into the **city of Adelaide**. ![img_0.46885998185955646](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYo2SSCnEL6BQERffUckNM9tSK7SY8y3G2bbQcTQSZnT1/img_0.46885998185955646.jpg)*The train to Adelaide* The train journey was only 30 minutes or so, but it gave me a chance to catch up on some reading before heading somewhere quiet to finish it off. My current book of choice is called **"Unf#ck Your Brain"** and where better to read in peace but the city library? ![img_0.010949505802158612](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTRw4xsTqbSakK7iPmPouh68EXBEbAGha6Nj1Kurv8jKc/img_0.010949505802158612.jpg)*Unf#ck Your Brain - a psychology book* It's a good book, basically years of therapy condensed into about 200 pages. It's already helped me with a few things already in within the first 30 or so pages. Next my focus will be books on finance. I have a stack of about 10 books to get through! There's no rush to finish them though, I just need to focus my attention. Anyway, I hope you have a great weekend. Until next time, have fun in the kitchen!
