I'm in Emerald for a couple of days to finally decompress from the absolute bullshit of work of the last 12 months and ngl seeing the choo choo train go past will never get old. Makes it all feel like it's gonna be OK 🚂🚃🚃
I love this! Emerald (and indeed that whole part of Vic) is a lovely place to be in, and having that ability to just be there in the moment during a point which sounds so stressful… that’s awesome.
It has been a long time coming! Very grateful that the weather is holding out, was half expecting to get out here and then be locked indoors by the rain, but it's lovely.
Did you wave to the little choo-choo?
Oh 100%! Thought it was illegal not to? 😂
It’s not illegal but it’s very much a social expectation, in the same way that commenting on the weather is the standard way to start a conversation with colleagues or that you don’t wear a skirt so short your bum cheeks show.
I like your Daily Thread title bye the way.
Chef kiss.
Bloody love emerald! Are you staying at an airbnb? I’d love to do a night or 2 away up there.
I am! It's a little rustic studio (cough cough someone's reno'ed granny flat/shed) super close to town. There seemed to be heaps of options on Airbnb when I was looking. You definitely should! (no such thing as it being too early to teach TinyestBreak how to wave at a train right?)
We were there about 2 weeks before he was born and I said to the Mrs I’m super duper excited to take him on it when he is old enough!
