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 “NEW WORK NO LINES MARKED” and “DRIVE SLOW”. 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.

Weekly Wrap 732: A remarkably productive start to winter

An 8-car NSW TrainLink V-Set stands at Wentworth Falls station on a wet foggy night. The lights glisten off the wet platform, and everything is silvery grey except the purple interior of the train visible through its windows.

A steel post with street signs. Across the back one reads RAILWAY PDE. Below that, pointing to the right, HSE NOS 20-26. Below that, at 90 degrees to those two, are two more, reading TAYLOR AVE and TO RAILWAY PDE.

My week of Monday 15 to Sunday 21 April 2024 was a relatively easy one, deliberately, before what I know will be a hectic few weeks. That said, I actually managed to get some client work done, which is magical. And apart from that, here’s some interesting links.

Weekly wrap 672: A sunny afternoon reveals a silly street sign, and the world improves

Monday 10 to Sunday 16 April 2023 contained less weird fatigue, at least towards the end, so I think whatever was causing it has now stopped. Productivity is slowly returning. Meanwhile, there’s the fox…

Weekly Wrap 657: Begone, 2022, and your myriad irritations!

Wentworth Falls in the near-midnight mists

Happy New Year! My week of Monday 26 December 2022 to Sunday 1 January 2023 was appropriately lazy for the time of year. I’m thrilled that my crowdfunding campaign reached its first two targets — but the MacBook Pro that is being replaced was put to sleep for the final time, creating one final irritation.

Weekly Wrap 599: Conferences, a podcast, and some thistle-based nostalgia

My week of Monday 15 to 21 November 2021 was full of conferences and fatigue, so while I got a podcast out I didn’t get anything written. I did start thinking about the Beforetimes, though, and stumbled across some photographs from the past.
