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.

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.

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

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.

Work was the reason I was unable to go for an afternoon walk last two Fridays. The wet weather was not going to be the reason why I was unable go for one today.

Trying a new cafe this morning. I drive past this place all the time, and I keep telling myself I should try it. Fortunately it’s only a 15 minute walk from home.

This is how I usually spend my Saturday mornings. One difference today was that a train-replacement bus drove by roughtly every 10 minutes or so which, given that it was the weekend, was more often than I expected (not that thatβs a bad thing).

Got offered a free sample of a “lamington scone” at the bakery I went to today. Tastes pretty much as you’d expect. π
Good to see that there’s still room for innovation in scone technology. π

Just enjoyed a set by Guy Montgomery in a familiar stomping ground (the Comedy Republic) with an unfamiliar Stomping Ground (the pale ale). All three were very enjoyable.
