Bit under 500 runs & 19 wickets over 98-ish overs - if they must play one day cricket not a bad day.
Also, fuck white ball cricket.

The leader of two weevils.

Love that oxymoron 👍

They can’t be science teachers then can they! Or the schools take govt funding.
(Non-existent) Jesus wept!!!!!

Might take advantage of the Boxing Day Test finishing 3 days early by trying to finish the 3 books I’m currently reading and start the other 15 on my bedside table.

This little bloke was watching me from amongst the white cedar blossoms yesterday

Meanwhile, in the real world….

Good call Ian. We lost footy today but a small
Glenmorangie doesn’t seem to be making things any worse 🫣😂😂

Comfy mate?

In which we see cows (and wee hairy coos) as the majestic animals that they are.

“It’s a trap!”

Don’t worry about that, I’m keen on getting around the algorithm that drove you to it.

Sometimes it’s permissible to hate.

A small fire this evening.

I’m wondering if I need to start up one of the other tvs & log out in case there’s an algorithm that restricts the number of devices like Kayo.

I can watch it on my laptop but not the tv 🤬

I think I might be playing too much #CS2.

Great effort boys & girls! 👍👍👍

Not ideal when you’re taking the gear trailer to the footy.

Voted this arvo - I've never had to work so hard to work out who should be last amongst all the RWNJ, religious bigots & science deniers.

The producers of Conclave when they heard the news

The wife just asked me whether we would finish watching “Conclave” later tonight.
Nek minnit, Pope dead.
Coincidence? I think not!!

Colour me shocked that Ol' Dutts & Pup Paterson will roll out the red carpet for the disgraced Mike Pezzullo who - let's recall - was sacked after an independent inquiry made scathing findings against him that he'd misused his position & breached the Public Service Code of Conduct at least 14 times.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

A daye wythout anachronism ys lyke Emily Dickinson wythout her lightsaber.

I blurted “Awww get stuffed Ashcroft!!!”
