Here’s a boring photo.
I love that your city has trees in the street
I guess I don’t appreciate the tress we have enough. It feels like there’s not enough trees in this city, and afaik it’s the only ‘city in a park’ so to speak. Where are you from and does it not have tree on the street?
I live in Japan. They are brutal with trees here. After a certain height chop chop. Trees are only in the wealthiest parts of the city because of the upkeep laws. In the hood it’s all concrete
Right. I didn’t know the whole concrete thing was still a thing over there. I remember learning about it by watching Pom Poko. At least that’s where I think I found out about it.
Table and stools… looks like you’re at a café.
I prescribe Ice Latte, with a raspberry icypole, and a jug of ice cold water with sprigs of mint.
Greek vegan place call Stazzi. Had a ‘Lamb’ yeros and Bundaberg lemonade, brewed with yeast oddly enough, which means my partner can’t have any due to allergies. Yeast is in everything these days.
The tour down under just went near the house. What do they get of they win? Is an IV drip included?
It boggles my mind that we persist with scheduling various outdoor sports seasons during the hottest part of the year in some of the hottest places on the planet. The worst part is we install this madness in children.

But I mean, most professional sports are done in winter. Cricket is done in summer cos it’s mostly standing around. The same is true of most athletics sports. The throws and jumps spend far more time standing around than actually competing. Heck, even the shorter runs that’s relatively true of. It’s only the middle distance runs where colder weather is gonna make an appreciable difference to performance. (And longer non-track runs…but those are usually done at colder times of year.) Swimming, of course, is done in the water, so being a summer sport is way better.
Cycling’s a rather niche sport in this country, but yeah it’s probably one that would benefit from being done in late autumn or even winter, rather than in summer. But to be fair, it’s kind of an all-year sport in this country. The Tour Down Under is on now with the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race soon to follow, but there are crit races most weeks of the year, but there are other events all around. Grafton to Inverell is in March, the Brisbane Cycling Festival (including its flagship Tour de Brisbane) is in April, and Melbourne’s Around the Bay is in October.
Triathlons are mostly a summer affair, but I think that’s basically because of the swim.
Really need to get my eyes checked and some reading glasses. Thanks.
this is why we need portal tech. It’s cold as fuck here, I could just zip on over for a bit of sun and leave it open to chill things out for a bit.
Where are you?
Not that guy, but it’s -24C here in the Midwest US.
Geez yeah complete opposite of what we’ve got. Was 42C yesterday Forecast to be 37C today, then 45C, 42C, 34C, 39C, 39C for rest of week.
