Congrats ๐
Are you running more these days?
I've cut down heaps on a Friday night now.
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.
Wow! That's really inspirational!
That's awesome. ๐ฅณ
Congrats!!!!!!!!!! ๐๐ฅณ๐
Wow congratulations ๐๐๐

Well done. Keep up the solid work.
Congrats! Thatโs a big achievement! Iโm chipping away at that goal but itโs a bit stop & start

Gibsons surgery is delayed till next week, and Iโm meeting the director of the company I applied to on Friday.
Polar morning.
'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...
Welcome back!
Glad to hear the trip went well :)
Welcome back :)
Yay welcome back to warm sunny Melbourne! Glad to hear you had a good time ๐
Happy to have you home. โบ๏ธ

Have decided to take the job offer from yesterday, if only because I need to really make a change. If it doesn't work out, so be it.
That's the spirit! Congrats ๐ฅ
Exciting times ahead. I hope it works out
Effing zebra chickens are yelling in my backyard.
What are zebra chickens?
Magpies. Murder chickens are cassowaries, hyper chickens are emus, LGBTQA+ chickens are eastern rosellas, and bin chickens - well you know that one.
And for our Canadian friends there are cobra chickens
Those bastards are pure evil.
Sparkling water on tap is working again in the office after three weeks. My life is complete once more
My co-working has these taps, one of the main reasons I signed up. Itโs a simple thing but feels like a luxury. Theyโve also got taps for cold and tepid water too, something for everyone.
I think I have like 8 glasses a day. I'm obsessed
I would be hydrated as fuck if we had sparkling water on tap here ๐
Electric water lol
Fancy!
I worked in a place that had that......location near Southern Cross perchance?

back is much better today, will take it gently
Seems most of the strays are missing today. Hopefully theyโre ok.
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.
