A grey and wet visit to Hastings today for lunch and coffee. Met someone at the cafe who bought his two cockatiels along with him, both in little harnesses.

Slippery when wet.
Seriously, watch yourself when walking through that subway on a wet day. That tiled floor is treacherous.
-
A good indication of how busy the work week is is the number of biscuits packets I bring home with me, rather than eat at lunch time. We’re at two packets this week.

The house guests have returned. Rico is settling in quite well, considering it his first time here. 🦜

Day trip, but a lot closer to home. Took a train to Hurstbridge and walked the trail alongside the creek to Eltham, around 12.5 km in total. Also took a small break at the tram cafe. 🌲

Old rail distance post found on the rail trail today, just outside of Loch. Only 95 km to Southern Cross station from here.
-
Walked part of the rail trail near Black Spur Creek. Was too slow to get a photo of the echidna but I did manage to get one of this white-necked heron. 🌲

Archie is no longer with us sadly, so my sister went out and got a new companion for Ivy. Say hello to Rico. 🦜

Small achievement unlocked, but one that’s a long time in coming: I finally tried nasi lemak. And yeah, it was quite tasty, although spicier than I imagined.

Bit of a wet day but the rain let up long enough for me to go for a walk. Though I had to take a detour as my path was blocked by a couple of families enjoying the weather. 🦆

It’s curious to wonder why Alstom, the maker of these trains, don’t track when passengers press the button just before the tone sounds. It happens quite often: they press it a second too early, stand there in front of the closed doors, press it again, and the doors open. Need to hire more game devs.

New path day. This was little more than a goats track last time I was around here, but was recently widened to something a little more “official.”
-
A very chilly yet enjoyable bocce session at Calton Gardens today. Won one of the four games played, which is a good day for me.
