📺 It’s time to settle in and watch the last episode of Slow Horses S4. This show is so good but I can’t wait for weekly drops so held off and then watched the first five episodes over the last two nights ready for the final.

The local state Greens mp is set up along the river in West End talking to people. With only three weeks until the election I had to look up who the Labor candidate is that’s how invisible they are.

You can’t just turn up at the Saturday markets occasionally and hope people remember you.

📷 Started going through my photo albums a week ago to get rid of screenshots, duplicates etc. I’ve accumulated a lot of unwanted stuff over the years.

I’ve just finished the cull and there’s now 10,728 photos in the recently deleted album. Now to go through the 836 photos I dropped into “misc”.

🍺 It’s 4pm so I’m calling the week as over. Time to have a beer and lean into the long weekend.

You don’t really think about how much you move your dominant arm around until you have a sun spot (bcc) cut out right on the ball of the shoulder and the doctor says “try to limit movement for the first 48hrs”.

Get your skin checked regularly people.

🛥️ Taking the City Cat ferry home on the river really is one of the best ways to commute.

Wearing another new badge to work today. Pretending I’m wild and free while I sit at my desk and go to interminable meetings.

An enamel badge pinned on a brown corduroy jacket. The badge has a blue background and a white unicorn with the LGBTIQ rainbow colours as its mane. The words “Wild & Free” are across the top.

Badge for today is a new one I picked up recently on holidays in Hobart.

A rectangular enamel badge pinned to a light grey hoodie, part of a burnt orange vest is visible under the hoodie. The badge has HUMAN with the letters some of the various LGBTIQ flag colours.

Returning to work today after a very relaxing six weeks of holidays. I’m not looking at my email or diary until I get in so it will be like a boy’s own adventure. “You’re sitting at your desk staring out the window. Turn to page 34 if you want to read email. Turn to page 42 if you want to go home.”

Today’s activities included:

Drinking a pot of tea while the cat slept in my lap

Potting some new plants

A nice lunch with scallops and eye fillet

A long walk along the river

Sitting on the grass beside the river and reading

All of these things were good for both my physical and mental wellbeing.

A cap sitting on grass with sunglasses resting on the brim of the cap. In the background is the lower part of a leg wearing a green shoe. Behind that is a tree on the edge of the river and the Brisbane river. On the other side of the river are apartment buildings with a crane over one and the setting sun is visible behind.
