Weekly Wrap 804: Endeavouring to plan podcasts (not sorry)

A NSW TrainLink Endeavour railcar at Blacktown station. It’s a diesel multiple unit (DMU) although we can only see the first of two cars, facing to the left. It’s made of fluted silver metal sides with a black band running along the windows. The front end is painted dark blue with a bright yellow band below the driver’s window, and it has bright yellow doors. The underparts and black, and the entire train is filthy and in need of a good wash. Its number is 2854.

Despite being down with a random virus on Wednesday, my week of Monday 20 to Sunday 26 October 2025 was remarkably productive. I produced one podcast, planned four others, and continued to assist with the property hunting. I also took photos of trains, one of which is included with this post.

Weekly Wrap 756: Productivity with memories of bushfires

My week of Monday 18 to Sunday 24 November 2024 began with a burst of productivity, including a bunch of podcast work, but the weekend brought fatigue. It also brought some random reflection on the bushfires of five years ago. Time no longer has any meaning.

The 9pm His Plague Diary 5

Looking north along the almost deserted Cumberland Highway (Hart Drive) from the railway overpass at Wentworthville in Sydney’s west on Good Friday 2020.

It’s Day 25 of Stilgherrian’s coronavirus isolation. A trip down to Sydney on Friday provided some relief, but also a reminder of how bleak everything is becoming.

Weekly Wrap 500: Cats, cat-sitting, Christmas, and trains

K-Set at Clyde

Monday 23 to Sunday 29 December 2019 was a curious Christmas week, and a week of cat-sitting. I went to an actual Christmas Lunch for the first time in 15 or maybe even 20 years. And then there was… well… you’d better read on.

Weekly Wrap 493: Productivity pause, and now the threat of bushfires

Train at Blacktown station

My week of Monday 4 to Sunday 10 November was one of the low points in my productivity cycle. I’m getting used to it. It’s nothing to worry about. It’s just that I have little to report this week.
