Kind of nice to see that my heater and winter jacket is still getting some use on this lovely, supposedly summer evening.

Quite a shock to think about how fast 11 months have gone. I remember putting this tree away, putting the tape on and thinking “this will be difficult to untape without ripping the box.” Well, I’m faced with that challenge now.

Interesting to see how networks deal with a 5 day test match ending on day 2. Looks like Channel 7 has opted for three reporters sitting on the pitch talking about the match. Hope they’ve got enough material to fill 3 days. 😏

“Get out more” goal for November achieved. ✅
Boardgames at the Melbourne Central Lion Hotel. Bought along Wingspan tonight. Was a huge hit: better than I hoped. Played a full game with 3 other players. 👍

Did not expect to be back here again, riding the Comengs like it’s going out of style. Such is this year’s theme, unfortunately.

The bridge is open again. My long, personal national nightmare (i.e. mild, almost insignificant, inconvenience for a couple of days) is finally over!
