On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Election ‘Fallout’, Having a Birthday and Warren Buffett.
As you all know, we had an election recently, so after some ‘shenanigans’ if I could call it that, the results (for now) are in and spoiler, they are unchanged from what they were before.
So basically, I had a birthday a few weeks ago, and I had fish and chips, that's it.
I love getting emails, and recently I was checking my iCloud email (yeah I’ve got one of them) and I was lucky enough to have an email from investment tycoon Warren Buffett! Unfortunately for me, he wasn't offering me truck loads of money, but only if I gave him my bank details and password first.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Booked Out, Solo Working and Election Update.
Firstly, today (day of recording) has been a very rainy day, so myself and one of my siblings thought we might go out to virtual golf, however because we didn't book, we couldn't get it. So we thought we’d go to Bowling, but because we didn't book, we couldn’t get in. So we went and had Sushi, then went back home!!
Recently, I was given a bit of a boost of confidence at work (sort of) I was sent off to do a 3d scan of a building, ALL BY MYSELF, and I didn’t cosh it up ! This is the first time I’ve had to do a 3d scan by myself, and I think only the 3rd time I’ve actually done/been involved in doing one.
As you all may remember, I mentioned that we were going to have an election. Well the results are not quite in, but it seems that the parliament will be pretty much what it was last time. That said, there could be a change of government, but time will tell.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Parmies, Elections and Indecisiveness.
Lets talk about the classic pub ‘parmi’ my god I love em, not sure why, its crumbed chicken with stuff on top. That said, recently I was at a pub and I had a ‘meat lovers’ parmi, that was a stock parmi with BBQ sauce, ham and salami on top !! what a time it was.
Elections, how great are they, well due to some parliamentary ‘skulduggery’ I’ll be voting in yet another one! This has basically been brought on due to there being a vote of no confidence in the Premier, who then didnt resign or seek support from the cross bench which has then lead to a election.
Indecisiveness, what a great thing to have? Or to be? I’m not sure, but I dont do to well with making ‘big’ decisions, or maybe im just bad at making decisions, im not actually indecisive.

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Ankles, Defects and The Future.
Remember the other week when I did the 5km run, well my ankles were ouchy for many weeks after, then one day, they were pretty much back to being fine. I did have a theory on, not based on anything medical as to why they’re now better.
Recently I was able to go ‘on site’ at work and do ‘defects’ that basically entails going over the workmanship, and pointing out any issues with the fit and finish. Think like is there any chips or issues with the paintwork, gaps in any joinery etc.
Is it time to wind up the Podcast? I think in recent times, the consistency of the show along with the lack of content/topics that im gathering is diminishing, so is it time I wind it up?

On this Episode of Luke Who’s Talking, I’ll be talking about, Running !
So, running, how do we feel about that. Yes, you’re right it is awful. But guess what, I did some recently, oh yes (and my ankles are kinda hurting as a result) here is the ‘juice’ myself along with some of my colleagues took part in the running festival, most of my coworkers did the 10km distance, but I did the 5km length (because you know, broken hip and all that, just over a year ago) But two of the bosses did the half marathon along with the 10km distance, crazy stuff ! (or fitness gods?)

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.
