Bushes festooned with spider webs sparkling in the morning light

📞 network is out which adds to the peaceful feeling.😄 A different view to yesterday - there is a mob of kangaroos out there in the fog. Still only 3C outside

Happy place.

Americans are now so used to their president cheating and breaking rules that many of them seem genuinely not to understand why the world was rooting for Belgium.

You gotta love it. Belgium restoring order to the universe.

Another Sunday afternoon exploring new connections in the current location. An interesting talk on healing ancestral hurts and a way to change the outcome. Not by "cutting the ties". A couple of insightful conversations afterwards as well.

The effective way the clarinet player does a musical call and response to the singer is just mesmerizing. "Tu vuo' fa' l'americano" by Renato Carosone: cover by Hetty and the Jazzato Band, an Anglo-Italian jazz quintet. @Rainmaker1973 #globalmuseum #music #jazz

What a breath of fresh air - wouldn’t it be wonderful if more politicians were more open and spontaneous? 💕

Fog rolled back in at 4.30 this afternoon after this morning’s finally cleared around midday. Not much solar generated today as a result.

"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." #Booksky

"Talkin' Bout a Revolution" (Tracy Chapman): An acoustic call to action that asserts the poor and marginalized will eventually rise up to demand their fair share of resources.

Made slow cooked lamb shanks for husband's birthday today. And coconut biscuits (cookies for north american readers). From recently unpacked cook books that I browsed over breakfast and with the foresight to add bookmarks to recipes to try in the future.

Doorbells should be made illegal in commercials. Dog owners know what I'm talking about.

Finally back to walking the dog in the afternoon. Months of moving house,(packing and unpacking), a year or more of a staph infection in the legs and the grief of losing a familiar neighbourhood and networks of 25+ years has finally started to loosen.

Only got a couple of shelves spare and more boxes to bring back from storage and unpack. Starting to feel a bit better about these move with these old friends supporting me.

After all this time looking for it! #humor #math #foundontheinternet #nerdhumor

Difficult watching: Rolf Harris on ABC. Those left behind after perpetrators are incarcerated or die never forget. iview.abc.net.au/show/rolf-ha...

My only engagement with the men's soccer is this

New addition to the retreat. Complements the moon gate.

Winter blossoms, but an eerie absence of bees that usually enjoy these winter flowers. Otherwise a soft grey day punctuated by more traffic than usual.

Change of plans for cooking dinner as the air fryer has spat the dummy early into cooking a pork roast. Going to be a late dinner tonight. No order in options here😁

Happy place.

Random photo from the collection. Still miss this gentle soul who managed to navigate stairs when blind. His only issue was travelling in a car.

Is there a similar medical condition equal (or more) to menopause for men? Asking for a couple of friends.

We only rate dogs. This is a whirlpool. Please don't get too close. It is quite powerful. Still 13/10 (IG: goldenbabybasil)

AURORA: A coronal mass ejection is expected to arrive and cause G2-G3 geomagnetic storming close to midnight in Australian timezones. This may cause auroras to be visible in southern parts of Australia on the night of 8-Jun into 9-Jun, such as in Tas, Vic, and southern parts of SA, WA and NSW.

Love it when a favourite song pops up.... youtu.be/Yam5uK6e-bQ?...

On a brighter note, I made my first foray into a social gathering in my regional abode. A spiritual community gathering that meets fortnightly. Meeting another first time attendee, conversations that resonated, a talk on synchronicity, my first experience of seeing/hearing a platform medium.

I’m impressed with the recently installed battery even with the winter weather. Minimal power taken from the grid and biggest part of the bill was the daily supply charges.

Feeling grounded & finally back on track after a peer support swap supervision session.

The Shot just exposed Australia is manufacturing nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose & RDX for Israel's bombs. These explosives are made in govt-owned plants, leased to Thales, trucked at night to ports, sent via US/Singapore - straight to Gaza & Lebanon. NOT HAPPY JAN 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

The Govt has committed to buying 3 US Virginia Class subs, without first negotiating a price🤦‍♂️. Yesterday it was revealed they also haven't negotiated a warranty for the second-hand subs🤦‍♂️. Would officials personally buy a car like that? No! #dumb #OnlyYOURMoney #AUKUS #auspol

Love unpacking these and looking through them absorbing the memories

Fact.

When you come home to Australia, Border Force asks if you have been hiking recently. Surely they can ask if you joined a foreign military. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Starting to look like a space I’ve dreamed about for years.

Nice!

Now to start imagining where the different genres will go. Asian history books are already in the small bookcase to the left. Homeopathy texts and feminist literature still to be unpacked.#bibliophile #nevertoomanybooks

The photo of shame. Stealing left over sweet treats off the kitchen counter. Not helped by one of the 2 year old twins “sharing” her sister’s slice of chocolate cake earlier. I’m glad I’m not the early morning walker 😁

Hopefully this becomes the norm.

Everything on this earth is borrowed. There is no "mine" or "yours." There is only "ours." Even time is borrowed. People kill over a piece of land that belongs only to Mother Earth. All you have is what you came with... and what you will leave with: your spirit. -Native American Proverb-

#Auspol @albomp.bsky.social This is what the NAZIs called Lebensraum. It was wrong then and it's wrong now.

A blue sky kind of day. Fabulous autumn weather. #serenity

You wanna build a data center? Fine Power it with your own solar/wind Cool it with seawater filtered through your own desalination plant You will be required to fund and build the complete infrastructure needed for the product that makes you billions of dollars and fucks the surrounding communities🖕
