It all stopped being fun. A few personal things came up and took all my mental energy, I wasn't enjoying the feeling of forcing myself to write here every day and on top of everything else it just didn't seem important. So I stopped
Perhaps I now feel like restarting.... although I'm not sure if I'll force myself to do it every day.
Perhaps I should have written this yesterday when I thought of it, but using today's date makes for a nice symmetry, the last entry from last year was 2021-12-10, the first for this year is 2022-01-10.
Yesterday we — family — drove out to Lysterfield to the lake and mountain bike circuit and two of us rode around while the unwell exhausted one rested in the shade. No sign of the kangaroos that a friend sees out here, he's always here around dawn in the mornings and usually on a weekday when there's nobody else around, we were there in the heat of the day among the crowds of everyone else who'd gone to the lake
Riding back over the dam at the end of an hour and a half in the bush I spied a low black shape in the water and called out to Cam to stop, we leant on the rail and watched for a while as a large male Musk duck[1] cruised along parallel to the dam wall, disappearing in a long dive before eventually popping back up to the surface, the large leathery flap under his bill very distinctive from the angle we could see. It must be years since I've seen one, I can remember seeing them on Lake Ginninderra and Lake Burley Griffin when I lived in Canberra, but I don't think I've seen one since, so probably around 30yrs ago!
