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! 👎)
Ready for some bocce. Back at Creswick St. Reserve, the OG bocce site.
Ah, the vanguards of Autumn have returned.
One Cup of Cappuccino Then I Go, by Paola Pivi
Saw this print while I was in Europe and liked it enough to buy a copy. Finally got it framed after several months, and now it’s on my wall. Turned out great.
Bought some “genuine” EarPods as emergency headphones I can keep in my bag. Wired earbuds are not my preferred listening device. Well, at least they’ll act as a deterrent from forgetting my headphones again.
Holding pattern.
Back at Fitzroy Gardens for the PGBC Grand Final. Weather’s absolutely stunning. May even have a chance of winning this year. 🏆
For those who celebrate… 🐉🧧
Bocce in a nearby park this afternoon. A bit sunny but otherwise a really nice day for it. Also had a spectator for a few minutes:
Don’t mind me. Just eyeing off a pigeon that’s looking at me funny.
Former site of a cafe I use to frequent. Kind of amazing to see how small the plot of land actually is, when you take out all the walls and furniture.
Got an earful of these buggers this morning (they stung me on the earlobe).
I did not take it gracefully. 😂
Finally got a chance to say hello to Evie, the young border collie, this morning. She and her human are regulars at the cafe I go to, so I see them quite frequently from afar. But this was the first day she came to my table for a pat.
This new protected crossing was installed on one of my walking routes while I was away. It’s actually about time, as this rail crossing sits between two curves and with no warning of an approaching train, was actually rather dangerous. Plus, it’s always fun seeing new rail infrastructure installed.
