Hi from Bambi and Bella.
Much too hot to venture outside today so we are relaxing inside near the aircon.

Witnessed some very un-Australian behavior at my local Bunnings this morning. Guy in front of me in the checkout queue was buying a Starlink kit.

Warning: "brushing" scam! Received unsolicited gift of 6 WIFI "security" cameras ex China. No name on package, just address. Activating any of them (they contain a charged battery) would have exposed my WIFI router (& any attached devices) to 4 dubious Chinese websites

The perils facing cats outdoors.
This is Bambi (aka "Her Royal Heaviness", aged 6 shown with a 12 x 1 cm twig that was found almost fully embedded under her belly skin today (thankfully no blood). She had escaped outside, climbed onto the roof, and jumped into a tree.

Aged care Support At Home offers taxpayer savings by allowing people to remain in their homes longer rather than moving into institutions. But recent changes have mandated service co-payments that are unaffordable for many pensioners. Please sign this petition: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

#auspol Recall how our current government claimed credit for early release of 20000 aged care Support at Home packages (after being pressured to do so)? The hidden detail is that many of these were funded to an "interim" value of only 60%. ETA for the remaining 40% unknown.

Geez! Trying to engage a Support At Home aged care provider as a potential new client (with package funds ready to hand over) is now like trying to deal with Centrelink! Have left emails & phone messages with several in the past week & they are just not returning calls.
