Fantastic radio today with Hamish on ABC Sydney. Intense an emotional.

Son (17 at time) had a suspected TIA beginning of Dec 25. Told to follow up in 6 weeks. Tried, Dr on leave all of Jan, kept trying, no roster available. Called mid Feb, do you still want appointment? FFS yes- ok 13th of April 🤦🏻‍♀️ 19 weeks later!

If Dan Tehan had gotten up as Deputy Leader this is all I would have seen

Sussan Ley should organise coffee with Thomas Franks

Wonder if Angus gets up we’ll get another ‘Well done Angus’?

Very late to the Slow Horses bandwagon. 4 days left of leave, we’ll see how bar I’ll get.

Angela Catterns on a Sunday morning on ABC!!! Woo Hoo! Love this summer replacement….honestly could have her all year.

HSC results are in, ATAR to come. As parents our main concern now is that he’s happy and healthy . 17 days ago he had mini stroke so any result pales in comparison to the fact he’s alive and has no lasting effects. That’s what’s important, anything else is a bonus.

If you’re having trouble finding an appointment to donate blood, a donation in later weeks still matters. Blood from all over the country has been moved to Sydney to help the victims of Sunday’s horrendous terror attack against Bondi’s Jewish community - anything helps x

Red Cross in Sydney, asking for blood donations. If you’re due, today is a good day to go, or if you’ve been thinking about starting, do it now. Employers, give people a little time off to donate. Organise your social or work group to go together. Do it today. #Bondi

Take care of yourself tonight @domknight.bsky.social You’ve been calm and informative amongst a horrible situation. Hope you get some time to decompress:

Should I - no, will I regardless for most of December ? - yes. Today’s earnt after 3 days in hospital with middle kiddo, so could technically eat another 2 but I’ll be little responsible.

Middle kiddo turns 18 this Sat. Did not expect to be sitting in ER with him after a neuro episode at the start of the week . Receiving a text that said ‘I think I’m experiencing stroke like symptoms’ was scary as hell but first aid training paid off. Having all the tests 🤞🏻

90’s techno is the perfect accompaniment to pressure cleaning. Very therapeutic but sooo messy. Two weeks until party time.

Barnaby going to One Nation! What an absolute gift to political cartoonists! Going to be like two goats butting heads 😆

Keeping get adverts from UTS regarding applying for 2026 & having to fight the urge to comment ‘ Son did, as first preference, but you pulled the course!’ He now has an early entry offer to a uni not in chaos & thinking UTS is no longer an option.

When you’re almost 50 year old body is feeling the ramifications of your brain still thinking it can play like the 18 year old soccer player of the past. It all hurts but did score in the parents v kids game- at 5f 2 I play on the kids team 😆

Husband has fallen asleep & Miss 12 has stopped texting (we’re in isolation thanks to Covid) so she may be too. We all know how this ends but it’s going to be a slow bandaid removal #MasterchefAU

Callum needs to come back as a mentor or judge. Perfect replacement for Andy. Positivity, knows his stuff and genuine nice guy.

This is such a Reynold dish, I think it tips a little towards Callum but can never be sure. #MasterchefAU

Wondering if Media Monitors still exists & if it does, how many times F off Andy has appeared on all the social media platforms. #MasterchefAU

So that will be gnocchi coming up? #MasterchefAu

I decided to clean the outside of our fridge, was completely covered in kids stuff, magnets etc to the point the actual colour wasn’t visible. Every time the kids walk in they stare at it, then me if there & shake their heads. Apparently I have committed a mortal sin! #Operationcoveritupagain ahead

Hubby and I may have whiplash considering how quickly we just turned our heads at the opening chords of #3 # Hottest100

Tracking our almost 30 year relationship, highs and lows through the #Hottest100. Now the kids are old enough to look after each other we really should get to out to see more live music.

Are you going to be my girl? - shocked our wedding reception with this as our first dance before moving into the much calmer One Fine Day #Hottest100

Paul McDermott’s version of Throw Your Arms Around Me is my preferred version.

Straight Lines by Silverchair always brings the feels - was playing as we hurtled to hospital thinking we were losing a much wanted pregnancy. He turns 18 in December #Hottest100

Maybe this will be like poor Reynold, a few extra appearances and then Dessert Masters and still didn’t win it… Laura may not have it in the bag. #MasterchefAU

Self scanning at shops (no checkouts open 😡) with headphones on while watching/listening to a show. Feel a tap on shoulder,turn & look, complete stranger. Move headphones to hear him - he tells me about waterproof ear phone covers he had bought on Amazon to protect the leather - nice random moment

My 12 year old just gave me a run down on her thoughts about political ads she saw ALP( inc our very active local MP)- simple to the point about things we need (mostly healthcare) LNP- attack and negativity Trumpets - Are you guys ok? What is wrong with you? 😆

The next generation is perfectly wonderful.

Vote cast, democracy sausage about to be consumed. Pleasure putting Clive and his gang dead last - a couple and their child turned up in the voting line wearing Make Aust. Great Again caps 🙄 No sighting of Exclusive Brethren, may be due to voting station being a Baptist Church 🤷🏻‍♀️

Walking out of the soccer last night, could hear Bollywood music & caught a glimpse of what looked like a person in an inflatable blueberry suit. 3 in those suits, dancing while holding illuminated Lucy Wicks LNP posters - got plenty of attention though maybe not the type they wanted! Much 👉& 😆

Good Friday it is - Angela Catterns on ABC radio makes it so. Her voice is medicinal and her music game is 🔥

New bed being delivered in the morning - I wanted to take apart old bed on weekend as knew too much on tonight. Husband scoffed. I’m now sitting on the floor at 10.30pm , eyelids drooping while he’s trying to work how to take it apart. Peeved that I didn’t insist.

Teen: Saturday sleep in Neighbours: 7am! Start all the mowers and whipper snippers

The best thing we can all do to support women in Australia - on International Women’s Day - is work from today to ensure Dutton and the LNP don’t form Government in our upcoming federal election #iwd2025 #auspol

Peter Dutton thinks protecting the planet has no place in our society. Remember that when you cast your vote #auspol

When you wake someone at stupid o’clock in the morning it is best not to greet them a few hours later with a chirpy good morning, especially if they have not been able to get back to sleep!

My last child finishes primary school tomorrow, we have been at the school for 20 years. I’m teary just thinking about walking through the gates for the last time, let alone the tunnel of tears tradition!

radioinfo.com.au/news/bewilde... Good, everything in this article is spot on

Well, just saw the news that Paul Fletcher isn’t contesting the next election…saw the numbers last time and could see the writing on the wall this time and getting out before being swept out by an independent.

It’s the first day of Whamaggedon! Good luck to all who play!

Listening to Simon Marnie at the gym, think I might cry. Such a ridiculous decision by the ABC. How can management listen to this broadcast and think they made the right decision!

That goal should never have happened - Caitlin Foord was manhandled down and Brazil gets the free - ludicrous!

Right, time to find everyone who left Twitter!

Spending the day packing up our first born’s room- he is finally flying the nest at 25. It’s a strange feeling of excitement and sadness. I’ve had one cry but know there are more to come but enjoying going through his bibs and bobs and recalling memories associated. Will be odd only having the 2.

Just watched Paul Fletcher call for a review of Services Australia & Public service and bang in about how bad it is - wonder why that might be Paul, maybe a little something to do with the decade your party was in charge??? The absolute irony!
