Zoë Tulip

Hello?
Anybody out there?

I think my loss of enjoyment in social media is related to the fact that I used to be able to use it to communicate with all my friends, and now half my friends are basically not on social media and the other half are spread out between 4 platforms.

I'm travelling a bit at the moment in rural Aus and have been for the past week.
Passing through Melbourne tomorrow and then back home Tuesday.

I'll be hiding in my little wooden graffitied fort if anyone wants me.

Morning walks.

For a few reasons, I've just come out the other side of a bit of a challenging week.
I had plans to reward myself by doing something on my birthday, but unfortunately the federal election being called when it has, means I have a decision to make: money, or mental health.
I'll probably go the latter.

Busy, busy.

Hope you're starting to feel a little better. x

Experimental photography.
Taken during a gig The Bamboos had with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra yesterday.

When you go to start editing a video project, are digging through footage when suddenly Past You pops up to wave hello and remind you of a much older project you haven't even started yet. 😶

A hand holds up a MyWay+ card, inside a Canberran bus.

Finally received my new transport card.
The verdict: MyWay+ cards tap on and off faster than Opal and Myki.
Also the card is made from 100% recycled plastic, and has a raised dashed "T" which makes it more accessible.
So I think that's a pretty strong comeback after the initial teething issues.

Thst would be fun to work out.
Recently I worked out that with VLine I can travel from Canberra to Mount Gambier (SA) for $35.20 full fare (two coaches and two trains), and it's possible to do in one day, which is nice for whenever I decide to do that.

Oh, I've helped my mum make this before! Super yummy!

Astonishing just how far one can travel in a single day in Australia, without flying.

Currently on a Sydney metro (driverless) train.
Yeah, can see why Melbourne also wants this.

Making a very special journey today.

Procrastination from packing, in the form of experimental backyard photography.

On the menu for brunch:
Deliciousness. 🥑🍅

Currently house sitting.
Morning walk with doggo.

Practising some rainy day photography because why not.

Must say, it's nice to be able to scroll down a little and be completely up to date with whatever people I follow have posted, and that the posts are in the order they were posted.
I really missed this.

Us Zoëans are like this sometimes

I flip a metaphorical table about this very issue every time I travel to Melbourne.
