Today was all about the weather. We’re just emerging from winter, but today got up to 29°c here in Sydney, and over 30°C in some suburbs. Our warmest day since mid-April. It won’t last though, Wednesday is forecast to be 19°C and Thursday just 17°C. My friends and I have often said that spring in Sydney is not a series of gradually warming days – it’s a series of hot and cold days dithered together.
I did my four online classes this morning, then took Scully to my wife’s work. I ran 5k back home in the heat – it was about 27°C at the time, before the peak heat. It wasn’t too bad actually, since the humidity was low.
Then (after a shower and change) I went into the city for tonight’s university lecture on image processing. Tonight the lecturer discussed deep learning techniques and demonstrated several on various image classification and recognition problems.
When I was getting on the train to go into the city, an old lady with a walker was getting off. So I stepped aside to let her get off first without crowding her, before I got on. When she got off she gave me a death stare and said in an offended/sarcastic voice, “Well thanks for helping me!” 😳 I totally would have helped her if she’d asked for any help. Otherwise I’m staying politely out of the way.
In the city I had Chinese noodles for dinner, at Chinese Noodle House. Not China Noodle House, nor Chinese Noodle Restaurant, which are other establishments within sight of Chinese Noodle House.
