Weekly Wrap 773: Remembering a little train in the sunshine

On a bright sunny day a pair of diesel railcars sit at a station platform in the open air. They’re silver, with their flat noses painted bright yellow, and just behind that a red stripe and a a small flash of blue.

My week of Monday 17 to Sunday 23 March 2025 wasn’t hugely productive but I’ve started planning more things. I also thought back to 2018, for some reason. Have a train.

Weekly Wrap 743: Wattles indicate the change of seasons, but I sleep through much of it

Bright yellow flowers which look a bit like fluffy yellow sticks branching out from a common stem. On one of them sits a bee, its pouches full.

During the week of Monday 19 to Sunday 25 August 2024 the flowering wattles makes the change of seasons. I caught up on sleep, but not on podcast production. But I think things are under control.

Weekly Wrap 741: A podcast in, a podcast out, and pelicans

In a light industrial streetscape two sturdy fishermen empty a big plastic tub of fish guts etc into a hopper. Standing nearby, watching them, are six huge pelicans and an assortment of seagulls.

My week of Monday 5 to Sunday 11 August 2024 was packed with action. Editing and posting a podcast, recording another one, and spending a couple nights in the Hunter Valley. I celebrated World Oyster Day and even got attacked by a bird that wasn’t a pelican — but I don’t have time to explain that now. This is already a day late!

Weekly Wrap 740: The end of the week ended the fish, and it was fantastic

Photo of the remnants of a whole fish, well, really just the spine and such, laid across a white serving plate littered with a debris of lime slices, greens, and an orange sauce.

My week of Monday 29 July to Sunday 4 August 2024 began in the cold with the need to sleep continuing, and ended with an excellent fish — which is part of why this is only being posted on Monday. That and the wine. There was also a fun podcast about cybercrime.

Weekly Wrap 737: Admiring an enormous American car while my podcast guests fall ill

A big low-slung American car in silver grey.

My week of Monday 8 to Sunday 14 July 2024 was far less busy than I’d planned, because both of the podcast guests I’d booked in went down with throat infections. Still, I finally posted an episode recorded a couple weeks back, and started planning a Queensland expedition for October.
