On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Hot Drinks, Elections and Racks.
The other week at the office I thought to myself, has my hot drink intake increased? I feel like I’ve gone from one hot drink to 2-3 at the office on a daily basis. Is that to many !!
Elections can be depressing, but luckily here in Australia we have pretty good elections, everyone trusts the process, everyone votes (because we have to) and whilst you’re out out at the polling booth, you might even get a snag. But when it comes to election coverage, the public broadcaster ABC have had a legendary election analyst who has just done their last election. A cult hero to many, that's for sure.
Lets talk Pannier racks briefly, I was able to borrow one from a friend which didn't quite fit onto my bike, so they gave me another one to try, which once again didn’t quite fit. Somewhat ironically though, if it is actually irony, the first rack I tried I could make fit easier than the second one.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Holidays, Novels and Recovery.
I do love me some days off, but the Easter season has been quite the situation, when it comes to my work schedule. Just for context I work a 4 day week (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri) given how the holidays work here in straya, these last 2 weeks, I’ve had ‘only’ 5 days at the office instead of 8!
This year I’ve been trying to do some more reading, thus far I’ve read 6 books! And we’re not even in May yet!
As you all may be aware, not quite a year ago I had a bit of an incident, and I’m still not back to 100% as yet! In this last slot, I’m just going to give you all a brief overview of my hip recovery.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Jingles, Elections and Siblings.
I’ve got some new ‘custom’ jingles for the show, isn't that exciting!! Since the beginning of the Podcast, I’ve just been using very average ‘royalty free’ jingles/stings but now I’ve got my own bespoke ones, hecko !!
Guess what, it’s election season here in Ausvegas, and I couldn’t be more ‘excited’ yeah, sure. But at at least we don’t have someone who’s been found guilty by a jury running for PM, imagine that happening in a major country….
About 2 years ago, one of my siblings moved to the ‘big island’ and I’ve not had an opportunity to see them since, that said my parents have had a couple of trips to visit, but I haven’t. But recently they came back for a visit ! So it was good to see them again.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Booms, Data and A1’s.
A car park that I frequent, plot twist has a boom gate on it, which I guesstimate that probably once ever 4-6 weeks it has some sort of problem, like being broken off or being stuck open or a ticket jammed in the machine, so there’s always a chance there could be a ‘freebie’ on the cards.
As you all will probably be aware, I used to make videos for my YouTube channel aptly called ‘Luke Who’s Vlogging’ now, that is something I’d like to do again, so I thought I’d just pop my Osmo Action on the front of my bike, record my ride put some data overlays onto it then heyo there’s a video. However, the putting the data on bit, is well probably more tricky than it needs to be.
This happened a little while ago, but something I was asked to do at the office reminded me about it, that is one day I was simply asked to print a drawing in A1 size, however I made a mistake and ended up printing an A0 size drawing instead… and the page was huge, you could of wrapped up a small or even a mid sized child in it !!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Names, Legs and Markets.
Im not sure the phrase ‘name’ is completely appropriate, title could be better. That said, I’ve gained a new one in recent times that I’m not overly ‘thrilled’ about, and that title is ‘uncle’ YES, I’ve gained the title ‘Uncle Luke’ by my adopted nephews, aint that fun!!!
As you all are well aware, I broke my hip not quite a year ago and I’d say I’m colse to being fully recovered. When I was at the physio last they decided they would measure my legs to see if they are still the same length, as apparently your leg can become shorter after a break. Spoiler, mine are still the same size!
We have a really good Harvest Market in my town, one that I’ve not been to for probably 10 years. But recently I had a opportunity to go again and it was quite good, lots of people, lots of good produce and lots to eat.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Tandems, Lights and Cladding.
Tandem Bikes, they are a doozy, and recently I got to have a go on one. I do think I was slightly stitched up, because I had to be on the front, therefore ‘in charge’ of the bike !!
Christmas Lights, We’re now 2 months into the new year, and I’ve seen some houses still with Christmas Lights on them !!! TAKE THEM DOWN.
This is a bit of a boring one, but my mum wanted some advice on some new cladding options on our family shack, so because I work for an architect, I asked some of my colleagues for some advice. Which I got and passed on to my mum, who isn’t into said advice, talk about client from hell !!!

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Stationary, ‘Genius Solutions’ and Close Calls.
How good is stationary right? It’s super wholesome, and its always nice to have nice stationary, specifically pens. Luckily for me I have a nice pen, which is a Parker Jotter, and I’ve thinking about taking it into the office and using it there, but I have access to heaps of stationary at the office because we have a cupboard full! So should I be taking my own stationary to the office or not, even though it’s generic stuff and not ‘fancy’
Butterscotch lollies offer a good mouth feel, but if they get warm they get all sticky and are not great. Recently when I wanted to take one with me on a bike ride, I thought to myself “if I put this in my pocket it’ll go all sticky” then I had a ‘brain wave’ why not put said lolly in my water bottle, genius.
Close calls are never ideal, especially when you’re on a bike! I had one recently where a driver decided to stop in the middle of an intersection, just as I was about to enter it, code brown alert.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Reading, Christmas Lights and Issues
Reading, a very exciting topic, that’s for sure! I dont have many goals for 2025, but one of them is to read more books, thus far I’ve read two! Which is probably two more than what I read last year. The books I’ve read so far this year is Ian Flemings, Casino Royale and Breakfast at Tiffanys by author, Truman Capote.
Christmas Lights, very appropriate in the month of December, but not in any other month! This begs the question, why do some people still have them up in January, the other day I was out and I saw 7 houses still with them up.
Have you ever had an issue at work, and the workplace guru doesn’t know how to fix it? That’s what went down for me recently. I was having an interesting problem with some documentation and two of my ‘senior’ colleagues were stumped as to how it could be remedied.
