Long long day out in the heat but at least I was out in the hills all day so that was slightly less heinous. Something that really unexpectedly lifted my spirits on the way back was having a ute coming in the other direction flash me a warning about a mobile speed camera ahead (although I already had a warning come up on Waze). Idk why but it was just so heartwarming. Maybe they were being extra nice because I was in a work suv with high viz on. (I know it's a done thing especially outside the city...)
I also saw an old cream-coloured 60s car (Chevrolet?) with club permit plates... that was a LEFT HAND DRIVE. I thought you needed a sign on the car but evidently not. Props to the young woman driving it who had to look around pretty well to merge and shit
Time for a nice cold shower and scrub, and then maybe one of those shitty frozen fillets with a bit of raw carrot and celery, and call it a day. Back out west tomorrow ugh.
