Bendigo Creek

Most of the Bendigo Creek between Golden Square and the CBD is a concrete drain. There are plans to renaturalise this area and make it more accessible for walkers and cyclists. Should be a high priority.

I hope it’s true the Russian economy is crumbling and this leads to regime change and a quick end to the war with Ukraine.

Well done to the Matildas for reaching the quarter finals of the Women’s World Cup. I never thought 75,000 people would watch a women’s soccer match in Australia or that I would find it as enthralling as it was.

Bodhi Linux

I’m testing Bodhi Linux in Virtualbox, using the default Enlightenment windows manager. So far I’m very impressed with the speed.

Sunspot removed

I had a sunspot removed last week. The doctor ordered a biopsy and the results came back today, all clear. The procedure was a quick shave excision after a local anaesthetic. It’s healing nicely.

Cooler night

Down to 7.9 degrees overnight at 4.47am, heading for 25 degrees today. It’s one of the cooler nights this winter but the days have been remarkably mild.

Microblog

Thanks to Chuck Grimmett for the Simple Microblog WordPress theme. It seems that P2 is no longer available on wordpress.org or Git Hub.

Robodebt

Not sure what I think of the Robodebt Royal Commission findings. They’re damning of the former government, but I wonder if this was a political inquiry? The scheme was bad and wrongly based on ideology. Will be interesting to see if Scott Morrison faces further scrutiny.
