Here to interact with interesting people and to participate in the discussion. I’m always respectful. Occasionally I venture down the rabbit hole. Western Sydney, Australia. Darug Country.

That’s good to know. Thank you.
I did see Sean Dooley say that if you can hear them you can count them. Though when I can hear a bunch of lorikeets squawking in the trees it is hard to know how many to count.
I’ve been doing morning but I’m going to try dusk.
ditto

early morning or dusk seems best where I am (tho not so good today)

binoculars help

might venture further afield on the weekend :)
I considered the binoculars but didn’t want people to think I was spying on them. 😂

I’m in an apartment and thought a bird’s eye view would be good for my count but it isn’t. I can hear all sorts of birds but I can’t see them. I can’t seem to pick the right time of day either.
a not very exciting tally for today…I am in the city centre though

know the swallows were under the fire stairs but they didn’t dart about so not counted

who knows what tomorrow may bring #aussiebirdcount
This makes me sick. I can’t believe he has the audacity to think this is acceptable. It’s absolutely disrespectful and how the ABC can give him a platform to spruik it is appalling.
A photo you WON'T find in the rancid Onion Eater's version of Australian history
We all live in hope but tomorrow’s Friday and anything could happen.
We can always hope there won’t be a cliffhanger at the end of every episode. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I’m such a duffer 🤦🏻‍♀️
Unfortunately because she knows the result.

Why is Luna so smug?
She’s so annoying 😤
It’s a spectator sport.
OMG they are all going over to Bill's, this is hilarious #ohbrookeohtaylorohbrooke
So much for doctor patient confidentiality. 😂

Just went to a Franky&Co and to avoid the surcharge inserted my card instead of tapping it. Someone has preprogrammed the machine to put a surcharge on all options! 😡 Is that legal? I certainly won’t be back! Opposed to being ripped off.
I can’t see the issue. Trump is thin skinned and volatile and the meeting was important so managing what can actually be managed is understandable. I imagine that John Lyons understands that. Let’s not create a problem out of it.
I haven’t watched it yet. Must make it a priority.
Stunning writing

Stunning observations

Watch how our society in all its facets - built by men, designed by men, produced by men, predominantly controlled by men - works to protect the man every time

(From the BBC drama: The Following Events Are Based On A Pack Of Lies, on ABC iview I believe)
Except she’s planting the seeds of discontent. 😱
I’m just happy to have episodes with Ivy #OhBrookeOhTaylorOhBrooke
I live in an apartment and since I moved in some weeks ago a cobweb on the outside window has just been growing despite a lot of windy weather. Today’s winds have blown the spider away and most of the web. Wondering if it will return. 🤔🧐🤓
It’s been quite lean here for the Great Aussie Bird Count.
She has a hide like a rhinoceros so I imagine that she’s quite pleased with herself for getting it.
I hope Linda Reynolds chokes on her rape money.
OMG the weather is wild in Sydney today. It’s hot but the wind is ferocious. 🤓
How often is a ballroom required? My guess is never or there would have been one already. Tacky is his stock in trade.
Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

#Ugh🤢✅
Or perhaps the state government might step up with some funding. It shouldn’t be a council decision.
Sure there is but it might take getting rid of councils.
I get that but I’m sure there’s a solution if there’s a will to find it.
The thing is, councils bear the costs of fluoridation but not the costs of tooth decay.
What is wrong with these people? 🤔🧐 I find it unfathomable that a simple and effective health measure is withdrawn. Stupidity on steroids!
And in Queensland, the science about the benefits of fluoride in tap water is ignored.

"There are just 17 councils — out of a total 77 — left in Queensland with fluoridation, of which most are in the south-east." #auspol #dental

'The Queensland smile' to live on as fluoride is removed from water
Many people would say the benefits of fluoride in water are clear but in this state it's often not there and there will be lasting health impacts.

I don’t watch breakfast TV anymore but when I did he always seemed personable and professional. If he was biased he didn’t show it. I first saw him with Virginia Trioli.
That’s all I know about him and was thinking out loud . Was a breakfast host with ? Lisa Miller . Never watched them.

He seemed polite enough
I like the ABC show “I was actually there”. I could do without Howard’s recollection of The Dismissal.
