It’s been just over a week since my last blog post. Not much has happened… except…

1. We’re all a bit crook right now. Lots of sniffles. I thought I’d escaped, but sadly not. I guess it’s just one of those back-to-school things; a whole new round of diseases hit the home.
2. I did my first day’s work in the city office on Friday. Took the 5:50am bus from Maryborough to Castlemaine, changed onto the train, then did the reverse on the way home. It was a very relaxing day because I did no driving at all. There’s still talk of commuter trains coming back to Maryborough, but looking at how many people used the bus interchange I can see why they’re stalling. There were two people (yes, 2) on the bus from here to Castlemain and about 7 or 8 on the way back at night. Hardly a flood of people crying for the train to come back. Anyway, it was all a pretty easy day, and cost $31.60. Less than a city parking spot for the day.
3. Haven’t had any time to do any photography lately at all. A few pictures in the city walking from the office to the train home, but hardly worth noting. It’s been a very lean period, unfortunately. Gotta lift my game there.
4. SES training is going very well. I’ve passed the four basic core courses and I’m able to go out on the road in active duty albeit in a probationary role. Still lots more training to go. At least I’m officially on the books so I can get a uniform, safety gear, pager, etc.
