And the same tech leaders do everything they can to avoid paying tax so how is UBI being funded?

I have used recipes from sallysbakingaddiction.com and they have been great.

I’m unexpectedly off to Stockholm for a few days. Any must do’s or don’ts?

Same. My two hated coats but adored being toweled. One of their favourite things ever was the towel coming out. And they would take turns.

You are right - those are the books nobody wants to borrow. All the good ones are out on loan

So true. Watch out for gluten in drinks like iced tea. Madness.

And 4.5 per cent of the population must be kept in abject poverty for the sake of the economy. And even though this is the recommendation of the Governor of the RBA, we will blame them for their circumstances.

What are you doing in life when your vehicle apparently requires four spaces? Must be important…#Badparking

The cover of Afloat by Kirli Saunders. The illustration by Freya Blackwood depicts a gentle scene of group of people and animals investigating a body of water. Some are weaving together.

Interior pages of Aggie and the ghost . A small person on a stool presents a long list of rules to a thoroughly unimpressed ghost who reclines wearily on a chair.

Interior page of Afloat. The text reads “ To roll between finger and thumb. To yarn.” The illustration is of a friendly and engaged group of people some of whom are holding or rolling threads. It’s a warm and inviting scene.

The cover of Aggie and the Ghost by Matthew Forsyth. A small person with a delightfully pointy hat walks through the rain. Behind them floats a small one-eyed ghost with pink cheeks.

Two favourites from the most recent release of picture books. Aggie is great fun and I always look forward to anything Freya Blackwood does. #Booksky

Enjoy an unbothered cockatoo chomping on a seed pod. #Birdsky

The cover of a picture book - The Emperor’s Egg by Rae Tan. A charming collection of small children and magical creatures gather around and observe a large egg.

New favourite. The illustrations are charming and the story and characters are fantastic. Great rug pull at the end. I love it! #Booksky

She doesn’t have a new book to promote.

I did a community clean-up a while ago and the fish were everywhere. Genuinely surprised by how many there were.

Delightful.

I picked the wrong week to finally get around to reading The Salt Path. I finished it yesterday.

It might look like a very average picture of a tree but there are two sizeable birds cuddled up in one of the forks - tawny frogmouths. Always a treat to see.

Tawny frogmouths really are masters of disguise. #BirdSky

This is rather lovely.

Everything about this is appalling. The deleted tweet is 6 months old but the author is told hours before and after they have flown to be at the ceremony. That’s being rude on purpose.

This was a delight. Ignore that it’s from Jerry.

This is a game changer

A ginger cat looks back through a fence at a doleful bulldog

On my walk. Both animals live behind the fence. The cat can leave. The dog cannot.

do you ever think about how a not insignificant number of people say they don't like some of the best green vegetables (brussels sprouts, asparagus, broccolini) because they've never had them prepared well and they may just go their entire lives robbed of that joy

Please take a moment out of your day to marvel at the elegance, agility and effortless natural grace of the penguin.

Cover of a book written by by Neil Sharpson and illustrated by Dan Santa. It says Don’t Trust Fish in large blue letters. A green fish swims between the words. It looks over your nonsense and has protruding teeth.

This made a friend and I laugh so much today. It is a very very funny book. If you are near a bookshop anytime soon go in and make your day better. #BookSky

A vivid blue sky intersected by the white arm of a lamp post. On top of the lamp itself is perched a very good pelican caught mid preen of its white chest feathers.

I do love me a pelican perched on a lamp post. #BirdSky

I love a random charming thread.

My answers to the fantasy dinner party question changed the moment I realised it was the perfect opportunity for a fantasy dinner poisoning.

But where are your keys now?

Ten seconds of frog because why not.
