My accomodation has kindly allowed me to delay checkout for an hour while I get shit together. Bit of a pain because I grabbed some unnecessary stuff from the car when I left it with the mechanic, figuring I'd pick it up and drive back here.

Now trying to squeeze everything into my main backpack so I don't have to carry two bags - which involves not only getting all the things into the pack, but also the other bag!

Past Mike really should have thought things through and maybe skipped the hoodie, at a minimum. It's Brisbane in November mate. You did not need that.

Good move grabbing extra clean socks though!

Tree? What tree?

A whole tree just went away while I was sitting here, in about the time I drank half of my coffee.

*rolls up sleeves and approaches the keyboard*

Me: Right, I'll have a nice relaxing morning. I'll get something for breakfast from the cafe, and eat on my balcony before packing and organising a plan for the day!

*sits down with latte and almond croissant*

Brisbane: The Time of the Road-Working will now begin! Begin the Ceremony of Endless Hammering! Commence the Song of the Air Compressor! Praise the Works! Praise the Works!

Me: I hope they treat heretics kindly because I am not joining in on this.
