Catching a train behind some tourists today who are really enjoying the different suburbs we pass through, and it has reminded me
a) how much I enjoy watching the world go by when I catch trains overseas, and
b) how refreshing it is to see my city through someone else's eyes.

@rouleur.app Just wanted to say you guys have created a genuinely fun game. The most enjoyable things in life are easy to pick up, but hard to master, and I think you've struck the right balance 👍

This was a fun event to be part of last weekend. I only did the 'mini-marathon' but got to jog down the middle of the Harbour Bridge (and might just tackle the 10km next year).

If the Sydney Swans finish the job this year & bookend the Buddy Franklin era with a premiership either side, I'm sure there's a great lesson in there somewhere about building a champion team & not a team of champions, but until then I'm just going to enjoy wins like that. #GoSwans

I have given a lot of thought to the process our local council must've gone through to end up with three different W fonts on the road.

Years ago I bought a really good kitchen knife and honestly couldn't believe what a massive difference it made. Today I've had the same experience with a vacuum cleaner.

After nearly 20 years living in apartments, I'm now back on the ground floor in a townhouse and was not expecting the ecosystem of ants, spiders, lizards, and other bugs that now surrounds me. Our dog also quite enjoys this.

Moving from one side of Sydney to the other has provided an unexpected opportunity to rediscover the city from a slightly new perspective, and it is currently one of life's little joys.
