Well, as far as life goes, there's not a lot to talk about really.
Physio. Podiatrist. Doctor. Work. Life is full of appointments, and in some cases, disappointments.
Decided to start using my Youtube channel, and have been doing a bit more trainspotting than I normally would, because I need a hobby.
Sure, I build Lego, I build wooden models, I build things, and I thoroughly enjoy that, but, I need to get out of the house and get out of my own head.
I also have new hearing aids. Well, I hope I do. There's still shit I need to do with the NDIS to make sure that what they have done is still available, because they fucked me around so much, my audiologist is now not sure if we got things done within the timeframe we were allocated. This, in my opinion was a useless timeframe, but, I am still not sure why the audiologist has done this like they have, but, I will ring my plan management office tomorrow and ask for their advice, then god help me, I might have to ring my Local Area Co-ordinator who was one of the people who fucked things up in the first place...
Anyway, I digress. Trainspotting. My new old hobby. Always loved trains, just never done much about it until now. Decided I needed a hobby, so I'm finally doing something about it.
A couple of rare trains came through here over the last couple of weeks due to track closures elsewhere. First there was a lead/zinc ore concentrate train that was diverted between Parkes and Port Pirie due to track damage near Broken Hill, then the Indian Pacific came through between Perth and Sydney, and then returned from Sydney to Perth because of the same track damage.
It was a good week for rare trains.
