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.

Any day I get to spend time with Ivy and Archie is a good day.

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. 🤫

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