    Speed bocce with friends today. Congrats to Jules for winning the 2022-23 season, breaking a three-way tie at the end.

    A Day in the Life

    Metro train crossing pedestrian crossing

    North-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Vic, Australia at 8:20 am.

    Waiting with my coffee at the rail crossing for the train to pull into the station. Going to the cafe involves crossing the rail line, which can be a little busy during the morning peak.

    Homeward bound.

    Birds in the hand.

    Two cockatiels on a hand

    Back in Canberra with Ivy and Archie, my sister’s cockatiels. 🦜

    Same time and place as last week. Different species of bird.

    Spotted this morning as I was walking to breakfast. 🦆

    Dinner at The Mint. This is my table, which is the same table I sat at last time I was here, in January 2020. Feels like a bit of a bookend in a way.

    Along the boundary of Melbourne Port.

    Railway tracks with a road on the left and the Melbourne Port fence on the right.

    At least one photo will be taken at this event (well technically the setup of the event).

    Sign that says 'Photo and video will be taken at this event'

    Rail works.

    Flags at half mast at the school today to mark the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

    Some Photos of The Yarra Trail

    Went for a very short walk of the Yarra Trail around Heidelberg on Saturday. The evening light was really lovely so I though I’d take some photos.

    Second breakfast time.

    Sulphur-crested cockatoos feeding outside a different house.

    The last hold-out.

    Deciduous tree with yellow leaves

    For the past several weeks, these two have been foraging in front of my place. They’re quite skittish, and will fly off when anyone approaches (it’s difficult to get a picture of them). But after a while, they’ll always return to the same spot.

    Evening walk, with the wattles in full bloom.

    Kyneton Railway Station.
