New pin getting an outing today and yes I’m wearing a check jacket with a check shirt. Come at me 😀

An enamel badge of Astro Boy, the manga character. It’s pinned to a blue check jacket and a dark check shirt is visible under the jacket.

Thirty years since Star Trek: Generations was released in cinemas. One of the few movies I’ve lined up to see at the opening session. 🖖🏻

Pretty good and cheap transit in from Melbourne airport as always.

Wheels down at 17:23 -> taxi to gate -> walk outside and straight on to the Skybus ($24) -> free tram ($0) -> short walk ($0) -> at hotel in the city at 18:48.

🫠 Afternoon walk along the river aka unintentional weight loss program given it’s still 34° at 5pm

One of the big four Australian banks declares a $7b profit in the middle of a cost of living crisis but watch the media obsess for another week about flight upgrades for the PM and how out of touch it makes him.

🚶 My niece and I are going for “hot girl walk” as I’m substituting for the friend she normally walks with. Apparently “grumpy uncle walk” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Well the polls have just closed so it’s time to have some dinner and settle in to watch the results come in. Here’s hoping my fellow Queenslanders have done the smart thing and not put the right wing nuts onto the government benches. 🤞🏻

Happy Star Trek: Lower Decks day to all who celebrate. #StarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks 🖖🏻

An iPhone notification from the app TV Forecast. “Star Trek: Lower Decks” in bold and then “The next episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks is airing in 15 minutes.”

Project managers must go on a special how to mangle the English language course. Reading a steering group submission from our PM - “Recommending action to descope to a delivery of certainty, and progress to investment proposal enabling re-solutioning.”

Having done my ladies who lunch routine with a 2.5hr lunch then a few cocktails on the way home I’m reminded how much I’m looking forward to retirement. A few years off until I can access my superannuation and walk out of work for the last time but so tantalisingly close.
