    Day 20: disruption

    Going to take this opportunity to say that I like the design of our road works signs. They have a standard frame from which you can swap out the sign panels based on what you need to convey. Beautiful modularity. #mbsept

    Day 18: fabric

    My woollen blanket, knitted by my nonna. #mbsept

    Day 17: intense

    Didn’t time this photo well. There’s usually an intense game of soccer on this pitch most Saturdays. The Sunday crowds are a little more serene. #mbsept

    Day 16: oof!

    I can’t understand people that stay up until midnight most nights. It’s only 9:00 and I’m already exhausted. #mbsept

    Day 13: glowing #mbsept

    Day 12: panic

    There have been a fair few stressors in my life recently, both at work and personally. And although they haven’t got to the level of panic, they have been a little overwhelming. It’s hard to believe it in the moment, but I guess they will eventually pass in time. #mbsept

    Day 11: retrospect

    This photo taken eight years to the day: part of a Roman wall in Exeter, UK. #mbsept

    Day 10: cycle

    Bicycles at the station. Really need to get on my bike and buy one for myself. #mbsept

    Two bicycles at a bike rack.

    I’m no fashion expert, but I’m guessing that if you were to stand on the corner holding this sign, you’re going to stop traffic. #dadjoke

    Day 9: language #mbsept

    A sign that reads 'Protected Native Vegetation' in English, Greek, Macedonian, Italian, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Arabic

    Day 8: yonder

    I’ll let the arrow do the pointing. #mbsept

    Day 6: well

    Taken from the Churchill Island homestead. I’m trusting the sign here to be correct in it’s assertion that there used to be a well here. #mbsept

    A sign in a garden that says 'the old well', in front of a tan building with a tin roof.

    Day 5: forest

    I consider myself extremely lucky to live near a forest reserve. I walk through it several times a week. This forest, however, is absolutely nowhere near me. #mbsept

    A European forest in afternoon sunlight with pine and what I think is oak trees

    Day 4: orange

    Taken near the day 2 photo. You certainly can’t miss these. #mbsept

    A group of orange traffic cylinders, sort of like cones but about waste high, on the side of a road with a black car in the background

    Day 3: precious

    A photo of the Hope Diamond, taken while touring the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, in Washington, DC. #mbsept

    Day 2: buildup

    New shed being built nearby to house the spoil from a new road tunnel. It’s quite large. I guess they’re expecting quite a large build-up of dirt. #mbsept

    Day 1: abstract

    Photo of an abstract(ish) sculpture of Bunjil, an eagle regarded as the spirit creator of the Kulin nations. #mbsept

    Missed the train this morning, but grabbed a photo of it travelling back to Newport this evening. 🚂
