Yeah, it’s getting close to winter, but today was very warm, getting to 27°C across much of Sydney, compared to the mean May maximum of 19.5°C. The next week is expected to be cooler, around 21°C, so today might be the final heat of another long summer.
I took Scully on a few walks today. First thing in the morning we ran into a couple who live around the block and their dog Monty, who gets along really well with Scully. They played a bit and enjoyed walking together as we were heading in the same direction. And then at lunch when I took Scully for a walk up t the local shops, we ran into Monty (and one owner) again on the way back. They had a bit of a run around, hopefully tiring them out a bit for tonight! And then before my ethics classes started tonight I took Scully out again, though we didn’t run into Monty a third time.
I planned ahead for a future ethics topic, on Names. And I made another Darths & Droids comic.
I also started reading a new Asterix book which I borrowed from the local library, Asterix and the White Iris. This is the newest Asterix book, released in 2023. I always enjoyed Asterix when I was growing up, but I had no idea I’d still be able to read brand new stories in 2025! There are a few of the intermediate books that I still haven’t read yet. I’ll be keeping an eye out for them in the library, but they are always popular and often out on loan.
