TIL Mikhail Bulgakov of The Master and Margarita fame was also a venerologist who had a clinical sign of tertiary syphilis named after him.

Entrained. Hop-skip-and-jump train to the Quay, not Bondi Junction because trackwork. OH behind me, reading his phone, Mr 60-something to Mrs 60-something: Trump’s hassling New Zealand for a change. Not us.

Lichen on sandstone, Dangar Island.

Update: The baby is now carefully examining the old man, to understand what thing he might be.

In other news, I expect the Instrument of JD Vance’s excommunication to be littered with quotes from St Augustine of Hippo .

Entrained. In a fit of courtesy, EVERYONE (including the lady with the pram and the baby) moved out of the way so a very elderly man could sit down. :-)

Of course. I’d noticed him being quiet on the socials. He’ll be very much missed. x

Oh no! I know he’d been struggling with his health.

The #Orthodox #Easter Bunny has arrived.

There is an abandoned shopping trolley convention running the length of Gloucester Road. #Hurstville

I’ve just realised I’m not wearing enough botox, lip filler, high heels, and hair dye for Earlwood. What’s with the #pouty lips everywhere?

PSA: SBS World Movies is showing #Zardoz with a young, buff, and furry Sean Connery in a ridiculous costume tonight from 9:30.

Power Ballad “I’m still standing” on #AustralianIdol? No. Just. No. Harlan can sing, but that arrangement is a disgrace.

Little ”metro” supermarkets converted from bigger normal sized ones.

Random cigarette cards for sale in a King Street junk shop. #Newtown

IKR?

The Sun-Herald, complaining that its reporters had to commit journalism. #MediaWatch #SundayPapers

Some days, only a baked potato will do.

Tomorrow, the clocks go back one hour.

Embussed. Easter Show Special. Sitting behind me Narelle and Sharon, en route to the Bulldogs v Rabbitohs game, nasally discussing more drama per second than Days of Our Lives.

My uncle, who arrived in Newcastle in 1963 says that they’ve been promising a very fast train between Newy and Sydney since then. He is in his 80s and is certain it will never happen in several lifetimes. Viva la #Shitkansen!

Entrained. Very slow tran yo Newcastle. Nearby someone is busy trying to
convince the person at the end of their phone call that Nagasaki, where they dropped the atom bomb in 1945, is a suburb of Tokyo.

In other news, it maybe time to cue Wager’s Ride of the Valkyries on my tinny iPhone speaker because someone is NOT using their headphones!

Entrained. Slow train. At that time where the cars have the unmistakable tang of par-boiled schoolboy. Winter can’t come soon enough.

Naughty naughty iOS, turning on Apple Intelligence without asking!

This is an interesting development Cronulla-ward . #ThaiFood
