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

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

Riding The Metro Tunnel
Checking out the new Metro Tunnel, and taking lots of photos in the process. Continue reading →

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.

Waiting at the rendezvous point for a spot of bocce. The morning is absolutely perfect. The gardens are nice and shady, now that the leaves on the trees have grown in.

Eastern rosella sighting. Not that they’re uncommon, but they are a little camera shy.

Ten Pointless Facts About Me

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.
