This is something set up for the Australian Open, yet the sight of a tennis court on water does have some significant references to a few people I grew up with.

Trying out this new coffee establishment that’s opened about a week ago: Coupette. Quite a small establishment, located beside a new hotel that’s opened along my commute.

Rail Infrastructure Around Taradale
Since I was in the area, I figured I’d take a quick detour to Taradale to check out some of the local rail infrastructure: the closed station and the viaduct. Here are some photos of both.

Dec 23rd — Baking
Ahhh! When I ordered this, I didn’t think it would be a whole loaf. It’s a little much for one person. #12days

Dec 22 - Grinch
Got really lucky with this one. If this place I grabbed a coffee didn’t have this, I wouldn’t have had an entry for today. #12days

Found another 20 cent coin from Singapore in my washing the other day. I now think they did come from my 2023 trip to Singapore, as I checked my cash box to see if it was the same coin as last time and I found a $1 SGD coin in there too.

If anyone out there finds me at the gym rocking my new ATP T-shirt, yes I am interested in a job. 😛

A lucky encounter that someone had a bonfire going when I was out walking a couple of days ago. #12days

Dec 15 - Frost
It’s summer here in the Southern Hemisphere so all the wintery submissions will have to be for photos taken six months ago. Here’s my entry for “frost”: a frozen puddle taken near “Tuggers” in the ACT. #12days

I’ve yet to ride the new Metro Tunnel (hopefully this weekend) but I did get a sneak peek of State Library concourse. Looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing the actual platforms.

Kind of nice to see that my heater and winter jacket is still getting some use on this lovely, supposedly summer evening.

Revisiting Preston Market
I was rendezvousing with a few people for dinner around Preston this evening. I was early so I’d though I’d walk around the closed market. I used to come here all the time when I was a kid, and it was nice walking the laneways again, even if everything was closed for the night. As with most places you revisit when you’re older, it’s smaller than I remembered.

Interesting to see how networks deal with a 5 day test match ending on day 2. Looks like Channel 7 has opted for three reporters sitting on the pitch talking about the match. Hope they’ve got enough material to fill 3 days. 😏

Walking the Darebin Creek Trail
Had to do some stuff today that weighed on me a little, so it was nice to be given the opportunity to walk the Darebin Creek trail this evening. Walked as far as the Main Yarra Trail, beside the Eastern Freeway. It was a really lovely evening, and it called for some photos to be taken.

“Get out more” goal for November achieved. ✅
Boardgames at the Melbourne Central Lion Hotel. Bought along Wingspan tonight. Was a huge hit: better than I hoped. Played a full game with 3 other players. 👍

Did not expect to be back here again, riding the Comengs like it’s going out of style. Such is this year’s theme, unfortunately.

I really need to get a lower desk. Long periods of typing cause pain to form in my palms. In lieu of that, I am reminded that I can just take advantage of the wirelessness of my keyboard. It’s actually more comfortable than it looks.

The bridge is open again. My long, personal national nightmare (i.e. mild, almost insignificant, inconvenience for a couple of days) is finally over!

Putting up the Christmas decorations (this is why the ped bridge I use to cross the Yarra is closed.)

If one can sum up the year with a single photo, my submission would be this one. One week to go for the third shutdown of the train line, totalling four months this year. It’s so fatiguing, hopefully this will be the last time for a while. 😩

Interesting bocce session today. We had a group of passers by approach us and ask about the game. Even asked if they could play a round, which we did. Also some bird activity, including this bin chicken that took an interest in the game.
