A cool and not at all unhinged way to prepare for very short term work travel is to calmly try on every piece of clothing you own and deem them all unsuitable. Calming obviously.

This morning's hayfever commute. Delightful obvs.

Perfection

Oh interesting! I thought maybe people just hadn't updated the magpie alert site. Didn't see any on my loop though

Did some swooping research and ended up choosing parly as the most magpie free route for today's jog. Lovely.

Day well spent at TEDxCanberra

Just got angry full contact swooped while wandering through the city eating a bag of lollies. I really need the magpie community to tell me how I could possibly have looked less threatening.

Going to start wearing a helmet for spring walking now obvs.

Lovely start to the weekend at Lake Ginninderra parkrun. I was beaten by a dude in havianas. (stoked to notice a mosaicmofos Mr Bump en route 👏) #parkrunau #loveparkrun

Morning commute. Powered by hayfever

Extremely Canberra PSA: it's an extremely nice day outside. Get amongst it.

Day for it (sunbeams and squawking)

Interesting thread!

True hardships of my workday obvs

No one in the universe enjoys Royel Otis as much as Spotify thinks that I do. No one.

Also obvs

Melbourne weekend. Just the hits. None of the antics.

Keeps things interesting 🙂

Canberra approach

Now airborne so all problems have been elevated (bonus canola)

It's apparently Oktoberfest in the airport bar, AND they're cranking ABBA.

This is the bad place.

Hotel I'm staying at uses parsley scented soap. I cannot stress enough - do not choose parsley scented soap 🤮

Delightful wandering around Melbourne city and seeing so many people wearing their hard earned running medals from today's events. I want to high five so many people.

But also, everyone should wear their medals for the whole of event day. Greatness.

Let's agree it should be acceptable to slap a phone out of someone's hand if they're using it like a walkie talkie.

It should be a competitive situation that it's widely accepted that this might happen at any moment but is received as fair sport.

Albert Parkrun with around 1000 others. Delightful and impressive organisation. I beat my previous course PB by 10 minutes, melb is for PBs even if you finish 812th. #parkrunau #loveparkrun

the heart wants what it wants

I think there's hills though? You'd need skills for Bathurst

There are dudes doing rollerblade laps of the track at Albert Park. It looks fun.

Should I definitely buy rollerblades just for my visit? (I have rollerblades at home obvs)

But also ♥️

This is still a very correct and necessary idea.
