Quick trip along the Main Yarra Trail near Heidelberg this afternoon. Busy as always, but was a nice day to be out so not too surprising.
Train line outage is still ongoing. Apparently there’s been a derailment due to pantographs getting entangled in the overhead wires. So the new rolling stock experience continues. Today’s is a brief ride in a Siemens, complete with driver pointing out landmarks of interest.
Got lucked into getting a Comeng train. Haven’t ridden one of these in years. They’re being retired so may be one of the last times I get to ride them.
Making lemonade out of the lemons that is a total outage of my train line by seeing areas of the network that are completely new to me.
Day 22: hometown

Returned to Tuggeranong for breakfast and a walk around the lake. The morning was quick crisp, and there was plenty of frost on the ground, but it was quite nice in the sun.
Day 2: curve

Seeing these river tour boats moored like this reminds me of the UK, and all the narrowboats in the canals.
Gallery: Morning In Sherbrooke
A visit to Sherbrooke in the Dandenong Ranges on Easter Monday included a walk along the falls track, a sighting of a Superb Lyrebird, and a brief exploration of Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden.
Hanging with Rico. He’s got a habit of overpreening, which is why he looks a little shabby.
Some more #big-spending going on around here with the arrival of my brand new TV⌠remote control. đ¤
Yeah, I finally got a replacement remote control for my TV. And honestly, doing so was a long time in coming. The old one (right) has been failing over the last few years: with certain buttons, particularly Power and Enter, requiring significantly more force that others before responding. About a month or so ago, the Power button stopped functioning completely, and the only way I could turn the TV on was to use the Netflix button (making that button useful for the first time in years) and quickly switching to AV 2. That, plus the volume, were the only buttons working by the end.
On time arrival at Albury, NSW.
At “Broady 3,” waiting for the XPT to Albury. đ
The weather is stubbornly refusing to turn autumnal. Fortunately the trees are happy to oblige.
That small lizard that occasionally gets inside my house is back. Got a bit of a surprise when I saw it in the hallway today. It ran as I reached for my phone to take this picture.
Added a few final things to my Godot game, such as a really boring title and end-title screen, before preparing a release for play testers (or play tester, I’ve got exactly one lined up). I think we’re ready.
Two awesome vessels: a water bottle I got from AWS reInvent, and a keepcup I bought at Coles. What makes them awesome is that they’re double-layered, so my coffee stays hot and my water stays cool.
