Purple cosmos flowers with pollen-spattered yellow centres, in a glass on a black mat in front of a pale wall. The light is dim and obviously artificial but the colours are strong.
Not #FridayFlorals (maybe this week now I'm back in town) but a lovely Tuesday bunch of imperfect homegrown cosmos. My parents dropped off something to my apartment while I was at work and left these as a surprise. 💜
Not me pacing myself up two flights of stairs against the woman in a green coat on the escalator.
Back-to-work soundtrack. Just because.

If you saw this, it isn't you. 😁
I was having a real "Someone is wrong on the internet" moment earlier (I ❤️ xkcd) and it took a few deep breaths not to at least unfollow. But: onward!
My brother just told me about the B'kdel test. 🤣
Take the wrong lesson from a movie.
Up In The Air: airline points make a nice wedding gift.
STILL. I've even tried swapping one of the photos. What is this nonsense?!
"Guys. Ugg know that Ugg's caveKIDS are using wheel every DAY. So Ugg getting with program. You want learn wheel with Ugg?"
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
😬😬😬
Ah I see he's done at least one to Vietnam in the past in 2019 (and some other destinations)!
I had just opened a page on that site (from a Google search in a fit of "maybe that already exists actually") and hadn't twigged who it was! That would be amazing!
And thank you, that would be brilliant!
How true! BTW my big gardening takeaways from this Vietnam trip are that I want to grow taro and shiso/perilla (as well as calamansi). And I've long believed there should be gardening tours of the place, and now I think Jerry from GA could be the co-leader.
This is delightful.
(We stopped for our first soy latte and cappuccino in two weeks!)
All my indoor plants have survived except one that was already crook. They'll all be getting a bath right after my shower. I've been home for fifteen minutes and already have the first load of laundry running.
Bah! I've remembered I won't have the car tomorrow so it'll be some gardening and some painting and a lot of reading.
I'm back in town, I'm almost home, I've ordered groceries, and once the laundry is done I plan to spend tomorrow gardening. 🥰
Pfft. I had wanted to keep this thread going throughout my trip but for over a week now, I've been getting the spinning circle of irritation each time I tried, on wifi and on data. I may as well just wait until I'm back in Sydney tomorrow.
I didn't devote myself to the task as much as I should have - I was enjoying an unforgettable luncheon on Halong Bay. 😄
In honour of the Steamed Hams 30th anniversary, I'm going to slip a few quotes into my conversations today. 😎
On April 12, it will be 65 years since Yuri Gagarin made his epic first orbit, proving that humans could physically and mentally survive outside Earth. #YurisNight 🔭 🧪
That is perfection - enjoy!
Oh sure an international crew landed safely and it made us feel less alone and unraveled for a moment, but can it really compare to a eugenicist dork's pet rocket exploding on launch and sprinkling heavy metals on endangered wetlands?
There is nothing wrong with celebrating something good. It’s necessary for survival.
All four astronauts standing in the aisle with their roller bags waiting for the door to open.
I'm moonscrolling
Accumulated delays I guess.
