Weekly Wrap 644: I have a cold, but I still got things done because I’m a hero

This Weekly Wrap is appearing a day late because my week of Monday 26 September to Sunday 2 October ended in a long weekend, and I took full advantage of that. Nevertheless there’s a fantastic podcast for you to listen to, and a radio program too, plus I updated the Canberra digital developments thing. Also, I have a cold.

Weekly Wrap 643: Making friends with a slicked-back kookaburra as spring destroys my sinuses

Spring is definitely here, along with hay fever. My week of Monday 19 to Sunday 25 September 2022 saw me create a podcast which immediately became out of date, make friends with a kookaburra, and sneeze a lot.

Weekly Wrap 642: Two universities, one with a podcast attached

My week of Monday 12 to Sunday 18 September 2022 saw me visit one Sydney university and peer at parts of another from a distance over rooftops — so obviously I’ve posted a photograph of the one I didn’t visit. I also produced a fascinating podcast, even if I say so myself.

Weekly Wrap 641: A death, a departure, a frog, and a podcast

What a strange week, this week of Monday 5 to Sunday 11 September 2022! The death of Queen Elizabeth II followed so quickly after the departure of Boris Johnson as the UK’s prime minister, and it changed everything. I recorded a podcast, but before I’d really even begun to process what happened on the far side of the world. So more on that another time.

Weekly Wrap 640: Damaged by rain and other impacts, but happy enough

I began my week of Monday 29 August to Sunday 4 September 2022 in Sydney, spending an evening in a pub before returning to the Blue Mountains. Three days later I was exhausted, my body ached, and I spent the day in bed. I can guess what happened.

Weekly Wrap 639: Leura, laziness in Surry Hills, and an old photograph of Oxford Street

My week of Monday 22 to Sunday 28 August 2022 began in Leura in the Blue Mountains but was mostly spent in Sydney, housesitting in Surry Hills. I spent almost all that time inside, which was perhaps a wasted opportunity, but I recorded a great podcast and got some things done in the background.
