We're in that phase to. What a phase.

Looking forward to this next week!

❁ If you're considering coming to the Institute of Australian Geographers Conference in Newcastle NSW this year, please do think about contributing to our session that we're organising on the concept of 'acceptance' in geography ❁ We think that it's a really intriguing and timely theme ❁

The first commute home of 2025 involved spotting 5 kangaroos, 2 wallabies, 1 fox cub and 1 human pulling the emergency cord of the train because they missed their stop before asking the conductor if the train could be reversed.

70% of the work I used to do on a journal happened in the car while a small person had a sleep. Nice to see I'm not the only one working away from a desk.
