It’s been a more relaxed week in terms of pace, but lots of paperwork, meetings and other things to fill the schedule. That said, it really hasn’t felt very stressful. This answers something I have been wondering for a while: is my schedule actually unsustainable? Or is it lacking autonomy? The answer seems closer to the latter…
Some highlights:
- It’s over halfway through Ramadan already!
- Received a merch box from the Samsung AU team – thank you!
- A friend/surgeon I work with went to help in Gaza. Thankfully, he’s safely back — he organised a lovely dinner to talk about his experiences.
- Weather is slowly cooling down in Melbourne. It means more rain, but also some amazing sunsets!
- My brother-in-law got married recently. Unsure of what to gift them, I decided to do some ad-hoc photography. Hopefully they like the outcome!
- We recorded another episode of the podcast! Looks like we’ll be on track for another few weeks.
- It’s my birthday soon and with it comes a few dinners and the like. The last few years, my birthday has landed in the middle of Ramadan and this year is no different. While I do enjoy a nice meal, it’ll be interesting to see just how thirsty I get given restaurant meals aren’t known to be low in salt!
