Hey! I'm a #Sydney based software engineer.

I'm a #GoldenRetriever dad, #Factorio (and video games in general) player and #motorcycles rider.

It's surprising how resilient plants are. I'm not the most diligent gardener when it comes to watering them, and the withering was partly my fault. It's great to see that they survived my laziness 😅

And this is how much withered branches and leaves I got from 6 plants.

My tomatoes started withering a bit so I thought that that's it for this year's harvest, their time has come and I'll need to soon clean up. Imagine my surprise when today I noticed a lot of new branches springing from the apparently withered ones, and a few bunches of these green bois.

And day seven of the #SydtoMelTrip would have been the most uneventful, save for two things. We left Shepparton, VIC and crossed the state border in Cobram. Bye #Victoria, it was so good to ride through you!

The first thing worth mentioning: turns out #NSW can properly greet the visitors! So it seems it's only the A1 border which is unfriendly.

And another Melbournian achievement unlocked: I did my first hook turn! It's a #Melbourne only thing, where, on some specific crossings, if you want to turn right you go on the left lane to the crossing street, and position yourself in front of vehicles there. And then you go when the light turns green.

Wiki describes it better: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_turn

The coffee snob in me was very pleased with a cup of coffee from Little Rogue, recommended by a friend. Perfectly balanced flavour, and one of the smoothest textures I ever had.

That, and also pretty much everyone knowing what "magic coffee" is. Hardly anyone heard about it in #Sydney yet from my casual asking.

And today's day four of the #SydtoMelTrip: the resting day in #Melbourne!

My mind exploded when I learnt that you can legally park #motorbikes on the sidewalk. Holy cow, I wish #Sydney was this cool towards riders. (Probably not enough space there... but enough for those giant QMS ad screens I guess.)

On the way from #Traralgon, VIC to Melbourne we passed a super nice vantage point called Lancey's Lookout. It was a few kilometres of gravel road to get there, but it was absolutely worth it. Regional Australia, you beauty!

Day three of the #SydtoMelTrip ended yesterday with us arriving in #Melbourne and going to sleep early. The first day's exhaustion was still there.

Total distance made so far: 1089 kilometres 🤘

When you enter #Victoria from #NSW on A1, this happy and welcoming sign greets you. Yay!

On the other hand if you go the other way, the first sign you see in NSW is, uhhh, "this is a police state, fines apply" 😅

#NSW - #Victoria border stone! We're almost halfway through the first part of the trip. 511km more to #Melbourne, but that'll happen tomorrow.
