I'm American (by birth), and Australian (by choice) living on the Aussie coast and tempting parrots to my garden. I moo at cows, I baa at sheep, and I whistle with magpies. I love cryptic crosswords.

My no buying more makeup rule is out the window as two palettes I really wanted are now available in Australia. The April Fools' joke "Tones of Turd" eyeshadow palette from Glaminatrix is out, as is the Pastel Dream Mini Freedom palette by Dynessa Myricks via Glam Raider. #makeup #tonesofturd

It’s a Fogbow! I’ve only seen this once before in the 12 yrs I’ve lived at the coast. It’s a really cold fog rolling in from the ocean. I bet the water is gorgeous. #fogbow

I had a lady complain that “We are in a drought! It’s May, it should be cold and rainy!” and she is correct. I was a bit stunned by the passionate outburst. Today I looked at my beloved Grass Trees and saw one has 3 new spikes! In May. I should have more ecopassion.

Husband and I spent the day in Melbourne shopping and walking around. It was gorgeous weather. We had Korean food for lunch. I used the loo before leaving and saw this. I’m glad it has a note ensuring toilet use only, but what are they fishing for?! No, I don’t want to know.

“Let’s make Australia great again!” “Is this influenced by Donald Trump?” “What? No..no I didn’t even realise…you, you’re obsessed with Donald Trump!” What a muppet.
