Feeling flat & mopey today at work (I am getting soooo sick of the pervasive thoughts which tell me I'm a horrible person) but after dinner I decided to expend some non-renewable fossil fuels/raise the earth's temperature a bit more by driving up to the national park so that I could ride to the far end of Long Gully and spend 40 min in a blackberry thicket picking about 3 litres of berries. I bailed when the emus' drumming started to come closer, because I'm aware that they think of that thicket as 'their' patch...some enormous emoopoos nearby.

Riding through the almost-deserted park as it got dark was great fun until I realised that kangaroos like to play chicken - I slammed on the brakes as s/he accelerated & sprinted across the road in front of me and all was good :)
