Run the Bridge was so much fun!

A huge tree branch went down this afternoon behind my house. Turn sound on to hear it CRACK.

Thank you @fullersbookshop for the super quick and friendly service! The cashier (who's name I didn't get 🤦) recognised me from Kingston Park Parkrun 😂 I'd just gotten out of a delicious lunch meeting at @littlelotuscafe and needed to zoom back to my office in Salamanca.

The apple tree has grown like mad this summer. Can you see any apples though? 🤔 . . #garden #apples #ediblegarden #plants #tasmania #appleisle

Busses delayed 25 minutes in Hobart's afternoon traffic today! Bus lanes on Davey and Macquarie Streets would help! The X01 from Hobart to Huntingfield takes 20 minutes. It was delayed 25 minutes today 🤦‍♂️

Community group for people oriented streets covered by The Mercury! The article and public meet up has sparked a lot of interest, bringing in a stack of subscribers and 24 donors contributing $1750 to the campaign so far.

Graffiti or public service? 😂 Corner of Meath Ave and Channel Hwy, Taroona.

Great to a pro-walking and bike riding letters to the editor in The Mercury

I'm looking for Hobart based people to follow on Bluesky. Any recommendations?

At the end of 2023, I gave up drinking alcohol, started riding my e-bike to work a little more and kept my Saturday morning Kingston Park parkrun habit. It was a long road, but I've made it a whole year. I'm less grumpy, less tired, a better father, 15% lighter and 11% faster. 2025 LETS GOOO!!!
