        Thanks. Parkrun every week, give or take. Couple of other runs though the week. I just started using a capture-territory style app which has made it a bit fun.

    'sup everyone I’m back from my travels and back at work today before another conference. Absolutely loved my road trip and the sun and nature and helping out the family I care about. Nice to feel connected and part of something bigger. Life back in Melbourne feels awfully lonely in comparison. No closer to working out what I want to do with my life, but definitely a renewed conviction to get out there in nature and refill the tank more often. I do want to spend less time on the phone and more time being in life, with all its bumps and warts. Feels like having to detox or going to rehab because the urge to retreat into one’s phone is so strong, coming back here…

      My co-working has these taps, one of the main reasons I signed up. It’s a simple thing but feels like a luxury. They’ve also got taps for cold and tepid water too, something for everyone.

        Magpies. Murder chickens are cassowaries, hyper chickens are emus, LGBTQA+ chickens are eastern rosellas, and bin chickens - well you know that one.

    Traffic on the Western Fwy was way better tonight without the roadworks, plus I got to leave work a bit early. So I’m home way earlier than from the other trips to Melbourne - I’m already in my pjs on the couch instead of in the van still driving somewhere around Ballan. A definite improvement.

    I’ve been riding the bike with the suspension on for a while and I decided to turn it off to see the difference. It’s faster but you do feel the bumps. Maybe I turn it off going home because it trends uphill, or when the battery is getting low and I want to be more economical.

        It goes for less than $2.5k at 99bikes now. Look at the Velectrix range there, some older models have serious discounts on them now
