Weekly Wrap 828: Slowly settling into Campsie and a routine

Monday 6 to Sunday 12 April 2026 was the short working week after Easter. I was tired, sure, and frustrated by the longer-than-expected unpacking process. But I’ve also started settling into a new routine.

Weekly Wrap 827: New podcasts, and exploring a new hood

View of an art deco theatre building in cream-painted plaster and two tones of blue trim, that are the top of the building being swirly and. The marquee reads "O R I O N" in a highly stylised art deco typeface.

Monday 30 March to Sunday 5 April 2026 was productive week. also relaxing, and indicative of how my move back to Sydney is evolving. I am happy.

Weekly Wrap 826: Settling into scenic Campsie

Looking up into a bright blue sky with scattered traces of cloud. A multi-storey brick apartment building looms, its side devoid of windows but decorated with square outlines of contrasting brick colours where one might expect windows to be. Tan on brown, brown on tan. At the top is a plain white box, presumably the top of the elevator shaft.

Monday 23 to Sunday 29 March 2026 was mostly about unpacking more things and getting used to the apartment and living back in Sydney, though I did manage to unclog the podcast post-production queue.

Weekly Wrap 825: Finally decamped to Campsie, hurrah!

A view out across apartment rooftops to a grey sky. On the left, one brick apartment building is taller with the antennas of a mobile phone cell on its roof. At the bottom there are treetops. But all is blurred slightly because the camera has focused on the balcony netting in the foreground.

I now live in Campsie! That’s in Sydney’s inner south-west, and the photo above was the view from the balcony on my first morning here, which was Wednesday. So my week of Monday 16 to Sunday 22 March 2026 was mostly occupied with moving and unpacking — and there’s still quite a bit to go.

Weekly Wrap 824: Podcast recordings, and observing an ibis

An Australian white ibis (Threskiornis molucca) stands in bright sunlight on an asphalt road surface. It has some lengths of dried grass in its beak, and itâ€™s hunched over ready to launch itself into a steep climb up to the palm tree where itâ€™s building its nest. Like most ibises in suburban Sydney, itâ€™s a bit grubby.

My week of Monday 9 to Sunday 15 March 2026 saw both an ibis and me start building a new home. Well, mine is already built, so it’s mostly about preparing to move in. The ibis seems to have quite a bit of work to do.

Weekly Wrap 823: Rebuilding Railway Parade, and the future

A view down a rural road into a valley and then up the other side. The road has been stripped back to its foundations and surfaced with freshly-packed earth and such, ready for the next layer and, eventually, asphalt. On the right, two black on yellow signs read â€œNEW WORK NO LINES MARKEDâ€ and â€œDRIVE SLOWâ€. Trees and bushes line both sides of the road, with those on the left caught by the morning light.

My week of Monday 2 to Sunday 8 March 2026 wasn’t as busy as it was meant to be, thanks to more fatigue than usual. Still, I recorded a podcast, did some billable work, and locked in some more of the house-moving logistics.
