Dad and Christine have left the building and successfully returned to the rainy motherland.

Action packed week in which I have spoken to:

• Spoken to random local people,
• Been invited for Yum Cha, and
• Finished the first season of The Pitt (comfortably my favourite show since Slow Horses Season 1...)

Some more time spent in Melbourne has led to thoughts on:

• Creating luck
• Talking to strangers
• Spending too much time on my phone with no purpose

Two weeks to cover as I have slacked off..(thanks for the nudge Doug) but what a two weeks it has been!

• Dad and Christine were in town and so fancy restaurants were on the agenda
• Manon and I went to Melbourne for the Australian Open and successfully avoided Djokovic
• Gus has a girlfriend..

We're taking on water in Sydney this week but despite the substantial downpours, there is a ray of sunshine in a visit from the Thoresen-Montgomery clan!

Other than that it has been a week of:

• humbling yoga experiences
• football with optimists, and
• questioning why "Heated Rivalry" is even a thing...

Week 2 of the year in the books (almost) and a few highlights to ramble about:

• A day at the fifth ashes test
• Gus's annual performance review
• My favourite breakfast place recognises my valuable contributions, and
• My slow descent into listening to lifestyle gurus...

I will switch back to the old microphone next week as this TikTok-style one is pretty rubbish. Nothing to do with me obviously. Completely the fault of the microphone..

First one of 2026!

Recap of:

• The festive break (half-price staycation, a Christmas cold and 9pm fireworks on New Year's Eve)
• Centennial Park (an Alastair Cook sighting and committing to 80/20 days)
• Stranger Things S5 (some times maybe good, some times maybe s***)
• My increasing usage of ChatGPT ("athleisure" wear for sensitive skin, anyone?)
• Intentions for 2026

We sang a song and they gifted us citizenship. It really is that easy.

We have a new country to add to the list of those we call home ("officially") which is a bit of a big deal I suppose.

Otherwise, it was great to see my old mate, Mitch and his growing family, spend some time in Port Stephens and listen to Taylor Swift's new album with a flock of Pelicans.

Wait what?! how is there another episode already? Usually it takes 6 months..

I know, I know. This counts as prolific but is an exceptionally ramble-laden episode so don't get too excited.

It's been a big few weeks:

• Harbord FC are world champions (of the Northern Beaches, AL Division 5)
• I started a new job (listen carefully for the collective sigh of relief from my family), and
• I turned 34...

As ever, thanks for listening and VAMOS HARBORD!
