Weekly Wrap 765: Feed me, said the magpie

Close-up of the head and chest of a juvenile Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen), still in its lighter grey feathers rather than black, its orange eyes staring straight into the camera. In the background, way out of focus, sunlit scrubland.

My week of Monday 20 to Sunday 26 January 2025 was both productive and enjoyable, because I’m a hero. Yes, the music podcast thing is starting to happen. And the younger magpies are starting to get quite insistent.

Weekly Wrap 715: Little productivity, plenty of sleep, a bold magpie, and podcast plans

I accomplished very little during my week of Monday 5 to Sunday 11 February 2024, and even spent most of the weekend asleep. I’m hoping this goes me the energy for what is going to be a busy week ahead — including two or perhaps even three podcast recordings.

Weekly Wrap 630: Another easy week as the financial year draws to an end

My week of Monday 20 to Sunday 26 June 2022 was much like the previous week. A podcast and some planning and some socialising, but not a whole lot else. I’m sure this will come back to bite me. The weather was nice though.

Weekly Wrap 579: Lockdown, meds, and magpies in the depths of winter

Sydney went into lockdown, I ended up being very sleepy thanks to the changing medication regime, and I produced a podcast — all part of my week of Monday 28 June to Sunday 4 July 2021. There were also magpies.

Weekly Wrap 564: Sog, pod, and magpies again

My week of Monday 15 to Sunday 21 March was a sleepy one, and at the end quite moist as the Great Sog continued. The wet weather and the ongoing adjustments to my brain meds led me to have a more… relaxed week. There’s a great podcast though.
