As we transitioned from the caravan back to bricks-and-mortar, we stayed here a few weeks, and very nearly signed a six-month lease to allow us time to house-hunt in #Canberra. (Thankfully, an almost perfect apartment found us just before the deadline.)
The staff were lovely and everything, but man, that place had a vibe.
Today I will be spending the entire afternoon shopping. In Civic. I promised a friend weeks ago that I would accompany her. Today is that day. At least there'll be coffee. And possibly food.

We went for a walk. I saw a pelican gliding along on the lake. Wasn't fast enough to get close enough for a photo before he sailed around a corner. But took these on the way home. Just a short walk in suburbia. Canberra views really are delightful.

Ugh. #Canberra. Spring. Tree bukkake.
We lost power for just a couple of minutes but it took a fair bit longer for FTTN to find itself again 'cos, you know, it's slow.

A clinical psychologist is—I shit you not—offering a $50 gift voucher for all attendees of tomorrow's #Canberra Highland Gathering. (It's on p15 or thereabouts.)
I’m not quite sure what they’re getting at here. It's either a genius marketing ploy, or… 🏴🤪
I saw an article about how good the food options are that are associated with churches. So I went to a Vietnamese place called O BACH across the road from Bunnings in Tuggeranong and had a pretty nice banh mi. Nice crispy bun!
Apologies, I neglected to photograph my food before it disappeared into my cake hole.

I'm sitting outside doing my first stint in this year's Aussie Bird Count. It's hot and very windy. I'm beginning to think that all the local birds have scarpered down to the lake.

We walked to Tuggeranong for dinner last night. It was colder than we expected. Saw this guy on the way. Had to check: Pied Butcherbird.

Neighbour just brought over treats for Diwali - he'd been away interstate so bought some fresh today especially. 😁

Saw this from @… in *The Echidna* newsletter this morning.
Says it all!

Walked up to the St Thomas fete at Kambah. Had a look around but didn't buy anything this year. Seemed to be a lot more of the "lucky" chance type games and stalls than in previous years.
