Melbourne / wurundjeri country. Artwork on stone by BokBok and Iya. Born at 314.3 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere. Currently at 425 ppm (Mauna Loa Observatory via Scripps Institution).
OMG I didn’t think anyone would ask!

Mine is our magpie, because of their incomparable warbling and the way that they MAY let you become friends. If you were to, you know, maybe drop some seed their way occasionally. Some are more fearless than others. #Epping3076

My op shop purchases: guess what people are getting for Christmess this year. #BookSky 📚💙

Working in the garden and, well, this spider was pretty big. #Epping3076 (It’s just a spider but some people are little freaked out so I’ve put a warning on it.)

This is the t-shirt Roy is wearing on the episode of “The IT crowd” that I’m currently watching. 📺

#SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack This is where the Wilton River runs into the Roper River in the Northern Territory. There is no road to this spot & in the history of human life, only a few thousand people would have been there, mostly Indigenous people. #SundayPix #Urapunga #Rittarangu

I do NOT find the pattern easy enough for beginners (not helped by a couple of errors), but I really like how broken rib knits up, all squishy and thick. 🧶 #KnitSky #TimboVest

Gosh I’m loving this book of 4 novellas. Published in 2019, one story foretells the “poor doors” at Barangaroo apartments in Sydney & another predicts Mangione’s revenge on blood-sucking health insurance decisions in the US. #BookSky 📚💙 #CurrentlyReading

I love it when the silly oaks are blooming. Also the native jasmine. So good. #Epping3076

While I’m knitting, using a pattern I have on my iPad, I’m thinking of a few things this one device has replaced for me.

Camera. Wrist watch. Melways. Phonograph (look it up, kid). Typing classes. Daily diary. Calculator. Radio.

It’s amazing, but I still read books & go to gigs, though.

The library curse strikes again, with several books all arriving on the Hold shelf at once. And I just picked one up… #LibraryCurse #BookSky 📚💙

Today I climbed up a very tall ladder, several times, to prune the rampant decorative grape vine. I didn’t want to wait for my grousemate to come home. I‘d check what was below me to see what I might fall on, and move stuff around. I didn’t fall but it was stupid. (Nice job though. 😏)

I remember this like it was the early 1990s. #MagicEye

The cover is perfect, not only its picture but the title. I really liked this book, its setting (NASA), its time (1980s) and the threads of the story. Joan wants to be an astronaut, but she’s, well, female. And she doesn’t believe in romance, although the reader is ahead of her in this. #BookSky 📚💙

Look how the rain has painted some of the trees here in #Epping3076. 😍 Not so #WildOz #eucalyptus

These are some others I saw on that same walk.

This hippeastrum plant hasn’t flowered in 8 years. But I hung in there and have finally been rewarded. #BloomScrolling

Four of my scores today were over 1000. That’s very good for me.

Awwww. Praxy. Buck up, mate. (From this year’s Archibalds.)

@chembarathi.bsky.social Just did a test run, but my Alt text requirement setting still remains. I use an iPad, if that makes a difference.
