Yes, that confused me in Europe too!!

That may explain why some people have trouble with directions! I seem to carry a built in Google Maps in my head for anywhere I visit more than a few times, I can see this would be a problem if you can't visualise.

"Popesplaining"?

Same here. With audio too! (Plus dreams with surround sound & very realistic sets! 😄)

Can you visualise things like landmarks & roads when you are driving around? I know you are used to it but I'd find it very hard to go anywhere if I couldn't "see" the route in my mind.

Probably depends on the skill of the players doing the pianissimo playing & keeping it in tune! Going from loud to soft & back again can be quite challenging for players that don't practise a lot.

What device is this? My Kobo starts at the cover & apps on tablet for book reading do the same.

😆😆😆

This is true bravery!

Was just thinking the same. I can think of a couple of scenarios about to be played out & none of them good. (The "starting WWIII" is obviously the worse).

Thank you but drawing is mainly practicing a lot!

Mountain stream - fountain pen with some grey coloured pencils.

Idiotic laws in Queensland. If these threats progress, Queenslanders need to take to the streets in support of Nordacious.

Oddly enough I survived with one broken rib (as an adult & someone ran into me!). Rode bicycles, motorbikes, rock climbing, surfing. Did I mention the "touring with rock band for several years"? Falling off a cliff (twice, different cliffs & landed on conveniently placed bushes)?

I think the best one was me hanging from the stairwell over a 20 metre drop saying "look at me, I'm an acrobat" - she coaxed me down with chocolate biscuits! 😄

Adventurous child & wondered why mother/grandmother kept going on about not eating it! Fortunately it tastes so vile I spat it out & lived to tell the tale! I think I'd used up about 25 of my nine lives by the time I was about 15! Slowed down a bit after I retired!😄

I keep mine in a big pot. They last about 10 years & just replace them. We have enough giant out of control trees already! 😄

Oleander tastes horrible (don't ask!)

Over 70% in South Australia. We had previous RW politicians pour scorn on our push to renewables. Now well on track for 100%.

A lot of stock market manipulation & trading going on too apparently. If this is true then there are kids being bombed just to make a few billionaires richer. This is just disgusting. 😡

Will do that later - just recovering from dinner! 😀

trump is the root of all evil

"Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred."
And only the horses are spared this time....

Yesterday when I wrote a shopping list! Also use them for drawing.

/2 "the economy is going down the drain". I posted the report of Australia being one of only 9 countries with a AAA rating. Apparently these are also "made up figures" & S&P etc were bribed. It's like arguing with a pigeon!

I usually ignore them but decided to "debate" a One Notion crazy on Threads - thought that ON "really won" & then proceeded to trash Melbourne (? Why?). Then said ON "really won" the federal election - I posted the seat numbers but they weren't convinced! A bit more popcorn about how /2

Just what we need in SA - another loony like Alex Antic! ☹️

The world will be a much poorer place when we lose people like this. #books

Yes, classic school playground bully stuff. "Wah wah! The disabled kid I've been tormenting just turned around & smacked me in the face! Not fair!"

Actually I'd like to see him stripped of all his wealth & then given a job as a cleaner. He could live his life out like the people he's trampled on for years!
