Speaking of logos for government agencies, it looks like the State Electricity Service is coming back in some capacity, complete with its original logo. I haven’t seen the SES logo since the ’90s.

Now that PTV and VicRoads are being merged into a single department, new signage with the Transport Victoria logo is starting to appear. Can’t say I’m loving it right now, but it took a while for me to like the PTV logo, and now I’ll be sad to see it go (if it does go).

Took a train to Hurstbridge and walked the trail to Diamond Creek. Was rather grey, but the air was mild, so it made for good walking weather.

Speaking of lunch, maybe the next time the miners decide to swoop me they’ll remember that I’ve been rather nice to them.

The cafe I’ve visited today has got this chicken sandwich on a “signature croissant scroll.” I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, it works quite well. Very nice.
-
I appreciate that those making, and putting up, these signs are sticking to this classic phrase.

Retired my old kettle and set up my new one. Currently drinking my inaugural cup of tea from it, while I work on my site.

Speaking of cafes, this pigeon is determined to get inside. It was shooed out a few minutes ago, but it wandered back in again. It’s at my feet while I write this.

I’ve seen a few strange things in parks, but this disco ball is probably one of the strangest.

Got greeted this morning with the lovely smell of freshly cut grass in the park, mixed with a slight dampness from a little rainfall. Lovely.

I’ve been looking forward to this as a general train enthusiast. Then I realised it can improve my commute home. Now I’m really looking forward to this.

Tonight’s menu: a chicken schnitzel burger from the local fish-and-chips shop, enjoyed at a local park. Haute cuisine at its finest. 😀

Timed my morning coffee perfectly today. Was able to photograph the steam train heading to the Wattle Festival this morning. It was pulling a Tait set, a rare sight for my eyes.

Today I had the pleasure of driving this:
An oil-fired steam locomotive. Drove it from Castlemaine to Maldon, round-trip of about 40 km, as part of the driving experience offered by the Victorian Goldfields Railway. Very fun. Was anxious about it at first but turned out to be a great experience.

Find it I did. Went by St. Ali Coffee on my way to work today on the advice of a friend. Tried their expresso. Not much of an expresso drinker but I did like it: a very interesting taste. I may try their cappuccino next time.

The same market had a showcase of vintage cars maintained by enthusiast. I know a few people who would love to see this stuff. Not me, however. I wouldn’t know a Mustang from a Maserati.

Bocce at Albert Park. Stunning day for it. Quite cold in the shade, but the Sun’s got that bite to it again, announcing that Spring is on its way.
