It was an article of faith amongst nearly all our neighbours there 20+ years ago that everyone who lived anywhere else in the world OF COURSE wanted to move to the US, as it's the best place in the world. Why wouldn't they?

They were often offended that we were looking forward to returning to NZ.
Woohoo my tshirt arrived! Thanks to the people who alerted me to the diy merch option 😍
These cockatoos perched on the rotary clothesline - I thought they might figure out how to turn it into a fun ride - then enjoyed the birdbath. 🪶

Do you have a Samsung phone like I do? You'd better read this 👇

"Telstra testing has revealed some Samsung mobile phone users may be unable to call triple-0 in an emergency with more than 70 models found not to be connecting correctly." #auspol

It was a good day. We spent a while watching a mother & calf humpback whale, saw a wallaby, emus, and even a camel! (The last two were on farms)
I'm at the coast for a couple of days. Seeing whales from the shore never gets old!
33° forecast on Monday for Canberra?! 😮🥵
I know @katydidnz.bsky.social and @grumpyyetamusin.bsky.social will be interested to see this...
@upsidebackwards.bsky.social Exciting! With binoculars you can see the island almost in the open sea, where Tove Jansson spent many decades of her summers 😊 #Klovaharun #Pellinki #Pellinge #moomin
Not sure whether I should aim to make the net invisible, or myself 🫥
I'm currently practising for it (starting with visible net, it's a bit easier 😁)

I 🥰 this shot. It's the Black Mountain tower in Canberra. Once an iconic tourist destination, it was closed to the public in 2021 due to a state of disrepair. Telstra and the ACT government have agreed to work together on a plan to refurbish and reopen it. Thumbs up to that.

It seemed to be a local Melbourne group - that doesn't mean it won't, of course.
This is the show I saw on Tuesday. Enjoyed it, would go again (it would be a different show, of course).
I'm at an Austen-related theatre event and they are serving complimentary tea and scones before the show on fancy china 😍
Oh my goodness in that final game my smartwatch thought it was ME doing the exercise 😂
I hope your young athlete appreciates just what she has achieved 🥰
I learned some things about water polo! A very watchable sport.
And I made it to the end of two exceptionally busy periods at work & had the foresight to book myself two weeks off starting now
