A selfie of me, a white man wearing a blue disposable mask and wearing headphones.

I am on a train, for the first time in six months! Dutifully wearing a mask.

...unfortunately it's to go into the city for a doctors appointment and also a dental checkup.

A photo taken from the vantage point of a pedestrian bridge over the train tracks, looking down at a bunch of earthworks going on. Big mounds of dirt, trucks and diggers moving around everywhere.

There's so much construction going on at the station, they're building a bunch of shops here now. Six months ago this was a big green field with horses grazing on it.

A photo of the fast food outlet Schnitz in the MLC Centre in Sydney's CBD. It's set up similar to Subway, with a salad bar-type setup at the front where they prepare the wrap or roll, and a kitchen in the back where the schnitzel is cooked. There's nobody else waiting there apart from me.

I had a bit of an awkward amount of time to kill both before the dentist appointment and between that and the doctor, so I wandered around and took some proper photos. It was really weird seeing the city so empty.

Good news from the dentist, my root canal was fully successful and all the infection has gone, and more good news from the doctor, my blood pressure is much reduced! So I decided to treat myself to Schnitz for lunch, haha.
