I've just sent an email to Federation Council in the Riverina, promising never to spend any tourism money there after their shameful assertion of white supremacy. Here are some relevant email addresses if you'd like to do the same:

Headed south to one of Europe’s most beautiful stations, Antwerp Central. They basically wrote the text book on how to convert a historic terminus into a multi level through station.

Early morning raid at Under for some pastries, have also packed up some cherries from yesterday's delivery, and we are off to visit an old friend we've both known since the 70s who's recently been put into Residential Aged Care and is miserable. She's also our son's grandmother in law, but that […]

Just realised it's Eureka Day! The Eureka Rebellion of the Victorian goldfields in 1854 was an echo of the great European revolts of 1848, and led to the swift introduction of democracy into Victoria's parliament.

IMO we should drop the King's Birthday holiday and have a public holiday today […]

The 4kg of cherries I ordered arrived this morning so I'm racing to get a double quantity of jam made before 4pm (going out), as some of them need using immediately. Nearly at setting point... 🤞

Quite the stink. But to give her her due, at least she has apologised unreservedly.

The ANU has finally reversed the Canberra School of Music shitshow. Just as well. Too late for some though.

Jerrabomberra Wetlands' last volunteering day for the year. And today the theme is St John's Wort, which we have almost entirely eliminated from the Wetlands. Flowering now, and seeds are usually set by Christmas. One last sweep before seeds set.

What is still happening in #gaza is just appalling - #israel continues to murder the people of #palestine in a #genocide even though a (supposed) cease fire is supposed to be in place.

And, of course, Israel continues to hold around 10,500 hostages in its (supposed) jail system, but would more […]

Olyslagers, srsly if that was my name I'd change it. It conjures up some pretty scary mental images. I once knew of a woman who married a Mr Growcock, and was stupid enough to change her name to Mrs Growcock... no sympathy! 🤣

Old friends have recently moved to the Gold Coast, from Sydney. It's thrown us a bit, coz we detest the place. Just heard they bought a house near the beach last week, right in the middle of the ugliness. It's giving us the horrors. Still, they're over the moon, so we're happy for them, but […]

Have just spent an hour rubbing the label glue off 6 bottles with eucalyptus oil. The other 6 were fine, why can't they all be like that? My poor arthritic fingers. The cherry jam will defo look a lot better in sparkly bottles, but sheesh...
