Ok. Enough of having a foot in 'that other place' & here. I'm coming over here before I sink in toxic bog of bleargh (academic term).
Here I am back watching ticketek' blue line of doom hoping 4 Swift tix bc Ms 22 says it will be 'The Concert of Her Generation' & dammit the 'kid' never asks 4 a thing & I'd kill 4 her & this is my only legal means of showing her that.
To the half dozen or so teens who, enroute to their school swim carnival, took time to give a thumbs up to a 55-yr-old beet-red faced woman dying ('running') on a treadmill: I seriously love you all & the future of the world is in good hands.
Because nothing says 'Welcome Jen, this is Your Place' better than a bloke with a fruit bowl on his head a garlanded bull. Just another Friday at State Library Victoria.
Garlanded bull and bloke with fruit bowl on head.
Gawd! These things give me the ultimate heebie jeebies!
Is there ANYTHING more exciting than getting a 100+ year old document on a family history 4 a book I'm writing translated from German for ME? No, Dear Reader, there is not.
Loving 'Mrs Davis' - utterly mad & weirdly compelling. Thanks 4 the headsup @andersf.bsky.social
OMG. Just reading this. Day. Made!
Oh. Ok. PRE game entertainment? Seems my attention & care factor abt footy is what is pathetic 🙄Dang.
'Look at that for a Hills Hoist!'
Loved Darcy's victory speech - humble & filled with joy.
Darcy: To the 19th Man, the Collingwood Army!
'It was fun to play. Must've been fun to watch but it was fun to play' - Collingwood skipper Darcy Moore.
And the Black & White rise as one!
He forgot about marking the footy!
LOVE footy speak: 'Does him cold!'
Did we just miss KISS at Grand Final? Bloody pathetic Channel 7!
Dearest 19 followers. I don't deserve u. My 3 Adult Spawn have exposed me as a fraud. They never called me Dexter of plant world. I was giddy with tulip glee. & crowned myself. I'm a monster & regret nothing. Tulips!!
Gawd this makes me happy. Skipskatts!
So NOW the Muse alights upon me? No sleep, lectures to write, conference paper to plan and NOW I get 'inspired'? Of course I do. My Muse is Zsa Zsa & I'm a slave to her charms.And 85% dark chocolate.

There's a lot of nostalgia for the 2000s but I wouldn't want to go back to a time when death cabs were only for cuties.
My book is about Eva Sommer who won Australia's first national prize for journalism, a Walkley, in 1956. Which is, of course, why I'm writing about an Austrian brass factory in 1890. I'm calling it contextapation & the struggle, Dear Reader, is real.
Today I had High Tea at Parliament House AND a tour of the Library. Which had rolling ladders, two spiral staircases & a stone lion called Clarence. That's what I call Thursday!
Saw Ed Keupper at The National last nite - brilliant but close 2nd was old musos/roadies (?)behind me recounting past gigs & capers. Lots of puchups over women - ah the 80s pub scene!
Behold the Tulip of Victory! Planted on Mother's Day by me & my full-grown Trinity of Offspring. All the more fab as the kids call me the Dexter of the plant world. But not today. Today belongs to me.
