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

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 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

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

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

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

While passing this sign on the way to work, I always wonder if they ever considered the name Catstruction.

Sat down on a park bench to reply to someone and this magpie came running up to me. Stayed for a minute then moved on after he realised I had no food for him.

Oof, took me an extra hour to get into work due to train issues. At least I got a walk out of it. I feel for these poor souls, stuck on the train until the problem gets fixed.

The local Woolworths has rolled out what I believe to be E Ink price tags. I was hoping to start seeing E Ink used for things like this. The technology is perfect for this use case.

One last trip-related photo: the pseudo souvenir mug I bought. It’s a “pseudo souvenir” in that I didn’t get it overseas1. I saw mugs like this while I was in Venice, found myself wanting one after I left, so I got one from Red Bubble. It arrived at my house this Monday… but let’s pretend I bought it home myself. 🤫

Well, I did buy it while I was overseas, and it probably originated from overseas, but I didn’t bring it home with me. ↩︎

Nerding out at the Swiss Transport Museum, in Luzern. Super interesting! Can definitely recommend.

Hired a car and spent my last full day in Italy exploring a bit of the wider Veneto region. Visited the town my grandparents grew up in and also went on a small bush-walk up at Cansiglio Forest. The landscape was absolutely breathtaking. The photos I took do it no justice (and I took a lot of them).
