Newcastle played so well to stay in it right until the end. Wish they’d have gotten it done but what a rise from the wooden spoon to only one point down in a grand final.

It’s the first time I’ve seen bogong moths in years. They’re endangered so I’m glad they’re still around. Although, I do wish the few hundred of them right outside my door could migrate to the alps a little faster.

I grew up in the area and have been countless times but this view still never gets old.
The Three Sisters to the left of frame, a valley behind stretches up to the plateau of Mount Solitary and the cliffs of Kings Tableland behind. The late day sun shines on the cliffs in the centre and left back.

My mum’s place, in true Australian style, is insulated no better than a tent. It’s winter and I have literally opened all the windows because it’s actually warmer *outside*.

A quick day trip to… Siberia?
A white road sign on silver poles reads “Siberia”. A forest of dead gum trees in front of a green forested mountain. Grey clouds lead to wisps of white cloud on blue sky to the distance.

On track for 6 days off.
Two railway tracks to the left of the frame head into the distance. A gravel platform on the right and a wooden railway sign, white border, white text, black background, reads Michelago.

This is just a blatant money making venture without regard for the actual performances on the night or viewership of the show… and we wonder how it’s so easily gamed.

On my first Marayung train on the South Coast. First impressions… shiny and new with slightly more room (bye bye 3x2 seating and good riddance). Second impressions… why is there no footrest?!

Sydney: a city that excels itself in getting worse in every way, day on day. But don’t dare suggest to them that anywhere else is better. Because harbour, apparently. 🙄

Sydney airport is just like everything in Sydney - it just keeps getting worse and worse. It’s as if an airport was dropped onto a perfume shop.

The free to air coverage of the Winter Olympics in Australia is atrocious. It’s 50% ads, 40% self indulgent montages, chat and circle jerk… and at most 10% sport. They then say to subscribe to Stan for full coverage (which needs an additional subscription on top for access to sport). Yeah, nah.

Maybe I’m just on edge after what happened in B*ndi but the amount of “unofficial” (read illegal) fireworks going off in the Gong after NY is stressing me out. I don’t begrudge anyone any fun but if you can get such large scale “unofficial” fireworks so easily for NYE… I worry about worse motives.

Found a lovely little glade and “beach” down on the river.

I literally went one place and overheard what I dreaded: awful opinions about what happened last night. I left before I shouted at them. We’re talking about people’s actual lives, it isn’t just the political battering ram for your conspiracist agenda.

The Lyonnaise waitress at our Christmas party came back twice to ask if I was sure I wasn’t French, as I spoke French without an accent. Now that’s a compliment I can take.

There’s not much better than blasting Italian pop from a car while zipping through the suburbs. There were a few people at bus stops who I’m sure wish they were with us.

A magpie just flew past me and swooped the cyclist who passed far too close to me. I’ve always liked the magpies.

Made a 700km round trip today to a place where I spent some formative years of my life (it’s where I had my first love and first heartbreak) and it’s startling how much it’s changed. I guess all things move on - the people who made it special, the places we went, and … well, me.

As per usual office day, I have ended up at the pub and missed the last train home. But… my mate has a mortadella turntable and comfortable lounge. 👌
A turntable, the design looks like a slice of mortadella.

The Tigers came through with a win against a top side. Now can we put the Galvin saga behind us? I’d rather enjoy the win without giving this “vendetta” (which probably doesn’t even exist) any more air time.

They’re playing Kate Bush in the charcoal chicken shop. It’s like I’ve stumbled into a parallel universe where everything is magical.

Had a few negroni and some burrata and pasta after work with colleagues (it was amazing). If I have to go into Sydney, at least it can be like this.

Old man rant of the day: bloke barges me out of the way in the aisle of the train… there’s literally one other person in the carriage. Not even an “excuse me”. *Love* the commute to Sydney.
