    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.

    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. 😌

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

    Ready for some bocce. Back at Creswick St. Reserve, the OG bocce site.

    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.

    Framed print of 'One Cup of Cappuccino Then I Go' by Paola Pivi. Print features a scene of many cappucinos on the ground with a leopard walking in the background.

    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.

    Back at Fitzroy Gardens for the PGBC Grand Final. Weather’s absolutely stunning. May even have a chance of winning this year. πŸ†
