So, it be Walking with Pete except I have just finished walking around and I have to go grab Kel. So, just let me reverse up. Reverse, reverse, reverse. Do a U-ie. Do U-turn. U-ie, U-ie, U-ie. And it’s time to drive into Canberra and I’m early. I’m early. (I) thought I was going to be late. I normally have to grab Kel at about 3 o’clock and it is 2:20 at the moment, and I was taking photos out in the back of this sanctuary, reserve. It’d be a reserve. So, it’s a nature reserve, Mulligan’s Flat, Mulligan’s Flat Reserve. So, this is in… It’s near Bonner, which is a suburb in Canberra, and this is the place that I’ve been going a heap recently in order to practice photography, and get a load of photos of kangaroos and echidnas, birds, all kinds of stuff. It’s been amazing. And today, was no different. Today was absolutely awesome. So, I finished work. I was doing my podcast stuff. I released an interview today. Kit was chatting to me about IELTs. So, I put that interview up this morning. And I’m… at the moment, this week at least, I’ve been trying to get everything done by about 12 o’clock.

If you’re cooped up in English that… that means you’re sort of locked up in a room or you’re in a small confined space for a long period of time, right. So, I’m always cooped up in the office, in my bedroom, and I don’t really like to be too cooped up for too long. I like to be sociable like to come out chat to people. So, I situate myself downstairs, put my computer on, have my camera gear down there too. Recently, I’ve had my… this new lens I bought two days ago, and if you haven’t checked it out, I made a video about how I saved $100 when I bought this lens and that was using the expressions, ‘What’s the best deal you can give me on this?’ and ‘What’s the best price you can give me on this?’.
