West Lake Restaurant Melbourne

Supper near midnight. Arrived from airport looking for bedtime snack. Restaurant was full of diners having seafood.
See their website http://westlakerestaurant.com.au/
We had savoury porridge for $11 and stir fried snow pea leaves for $19 and beer for $6.

Porridge was hot and savoury. With nice chewy bits of century eggs and meat.

Service was quick despite the large number of patrons. It was 1 am Monday morning when we left. Place still full. Nice crowd.




Some simple strength training after your meal. Available at http://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/simple-strength-training-tips:

Having fit muscles allows better extraction of oxygen and nutrients. It also lets your body store sugar and call it up more effciently when required. This is good for people with sugar problems such as diabetes.

Beginner’s simple strength boosting exercises

A sturdy chair with armrests and athletic shoes with non-skid soles are all you need for these simple strength building exercises. 

Seated bridge

 

Sit slightly forward in a chair with your hands on the armrests. Your feet should be flat on the floor and slightly apart, and your upper body should be upright (don’t lean forward). Using your arms for balance only, slowly raise your buttocks off the chair until nearly standing with your knees bent. Pause. Slowly sit back down. Aim for 8–12 repetitions. Rest and repeat the set.

Triceps dip

Put a chair with armrests up against a wall. Sit in the chair and put your feet together flat on the floor. Lean forward a bit while keeping your shoulders and back straight. Bend your elbows and place your hands on the armrests of the chair, so they are in line with your torso. Pressing downward on your hands, try to lift yourself up a few inches by straightening out your arms. Raise your upper body and thighs, but keep your feet in contact with the floor. Pause. Slowly release until you’re sitting back down again. Aim for 8–12 repetitions. Rest and repeat the set.

Standing calf raise

 

Stand with your feet flat on the floor. Hold onto the back of your chair for balance. Raise yourself up on tiptoe, as high as possible. Hold briefly, then lower yourself. Aim for 8–12 repetitions. Rest and repeat the set.
