    Day 12: magic

    An ATEM Mini from Blackmagic Design we have at work. It’d be nice to have more reasons to learn how to use this. #mbapr

    Actually, this pigeon is more patient than I am. I decided to go somewhere else.

    Day 9: crispy

    I guess you could describe these autumn leaves as crispy. Well, maybe a couple of weeks ago you could. With all the recent rain we’ve had, I guess they’ve gone soggy now. #mbapr

    Day 8: prevention

    An ounce of this? Well, not quite. I can’t prevent myself getting sick abroad, but I try to take a few things to save myself needing to go to the chemist. This idea came from my previous job, which took quite a lot of effort preventing people getting sick while travelling. #mbapr

    Day 7: well-being

    “An apple a day,” and all that. Kinda wish I liked apples more than I do (I don’t really like them that much). #mbapr

    Canberra Railway Museum

    Went to the Canberra Railway Museum this morning. Quite a wide variety of locomotives and carriages being restored, with many of them quite accessible to guests, including the cabin. Here’s a selection of the more interesting sites.

    A few shots around South-East Canberra with the deciduous trees starting to turn.

    Caught up with these two today.

    Ok, I may have gone slightly overboard tonight, but so annoyed was I with Google TV’s recommendation that I decided to install a 3rd-party launcher. And wow! I should’ve done this way sooner. It’s like a breath of fresh air. 😌

    This Reddit thread has all the details. I’m using Projectivity Launcher.

    Happy Grand Prix week for anyone who celebrates (I absolutely do not celebrate! πŸ‘Ž)
