Drones & Missiles over cities. This is how Ukraine spent St. Nicholas Day.
While children were waiting for miracles, 550 Russian drones filled the sky. Two missile carriers in the Black Sea prepared a volley of Kalibrs.
Missile strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Fastiv, Vyshhorod, Zaporizhzhia👇

Nearly all the birds done... on to the heavy stuff soon!
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: FIVE GOLD RINGS, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Someone check my litter tray, I think I ate some rings by mistake...

A light aircraft flew over the house - on its way to a grass fire southeast of Hopetoun. Never get a little plane up this way since Andrew Broad went away. I wonder how there was one spare for up here?

I'm getting ready to give away an 2017 iMac. It's well out of date for macOS but will run linux. Gorgeous sound and screen. I need to power it up to get the full specs of memory etc.
If you're interested and can pick it up from north Brisbane (or negotiate something else), please DM

A NATO-country leader suggesting defeat is impossible — while Ukraine is fighting for survival — isn’t “realism.”
It’s surrender dressed as strategy.
And it sends one message to Moscow: keep going, the West will fold.
