I was sitting in my lounge last night and felt a slight chill. The doors were open but I thought 'oh I should turn the fan off' but the twist is the fan was off!
Bloody love it when it cools down here...
Oh this is nice to know. With newly diagnosed coeliacs in the family, we use a lot of their products!
It actually started with a discussion about the great fire of London, which he had never heard of.
I try not to judge people for not knowing specific facts - he's from a different background. But I have to admit I kept asking whether he meant 'carts'. But no, definitely cars. He is also a 'car guy'
Today a long conversation with a millennial colleague ended with him asked me whether 'they had cars in the 1600s' 🙉
I suppose it makes a change from 'did cars exist when you were a kid' which is something my kids would say!
Brisbane skyline with go between bridge
Brisbane mentioned!
Not their music but this was my view from my work lunchroom right now. The bridge to the right is the go between bridge, named after the band!
I'm sorry but I did not know them and for years since it was named by vote thought it was named for going across the river. 🤦
After that she's welcome to get stuff from the library or just sneak books from our own study like I had to back in the day. If I kept them it's because I thought they were also good books!
Going through this exact stage w my 12yo. My line is that I'm at least not spending money on the books and maybe talk about why I think some books are exploitative (violence more than sex)
Bravo. Can you please also sort a few people out on "on the part of" and "on behalf of". The number of people who have mistakes made on the behalfs...
Was on a flight HK to Brisbane where a family 'self-disembarked' bc mum was assigned seat 2 rows behind her children (and dad). Tbf it looked like their incoming flight had been delayed. But the kids were TEENS. They sure looked like they were keener to get home than to sit w their mother 😂

What's your sign?
I'd also like to nominate "SPECS OFFENDERS". Thank you, I yield my time.
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

“This is an Australian news program. We use that word as an adverb.”
I’ve come up with a fancy new name for the MAHA yoga-mom anti-vax homeschooling crafty-ass wing of MAGA: the Zone of Pinterest

I love surprises ❤️
It was 35 °c today but the weather is about to break #qld
On the other hand I really felt like reading a French novel recently. Found one free on kindle and gave it a whirl.
Absolutely atrocious but stuck with it for language sake.
Went to log on Storygraph. I read it ten yrs ago and gave it one star already. 🤡
A minor win in a difficult time. My 12yo is a reader but I've struggled to get her into classics and nothing would put her off more than me pushing.
Anyway she came home from school yesterday and immediately said 'do you have Pride and Prejudice?' and is devouring it.
No idea why but I'll take it!
Every American needs to watch this:
The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.
Gentle Spades
"I'm a veteran"
My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass.
It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved.
I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it.
