Breaking news. Or not. It's hot!! So, lemonade iceblocks is the answer. Drive carefully, peeps, as tempers can get frayed in this weather. Don't be one of those people. ๐ฅ ๐ฅต๐

A young fur seal waddled into a New Zealand bar on a rainy Sunday, sparking excitement and disbelief. The pup was showing โnormal exploratory behaviorโ by exploring the bar, which was about a mile from the coast, a ranger said.

Middle kid was telling us that he used to calculate the precise division of the Winter Village Lego sets we have as an "advent calendar" to know how much to build each day... "but since then I've done a year of university physics and now it's like, pi is 10" ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

Extremely Canberra but its sure nice how the handmade markets gives people that have never been in a crowd before a chance to mingle with people who have never walked in a straight line before.

I think I just saw my first live echidna in the wild. By the side of the road, with two vehicles stopped and a family crouched around it, and WIRES (wildlife rescue) just arriving. I hope it will be ok.

Do you have a Samsung phone like I do? You'd better read this ๐ "Telstra testing has revealed some Samsung mobile phone users may be unable to call triple-0 in an emergency with more than 70 models found not to be connecting correctly."

I ๐ฅฐ this shot. It's the Black Mountain tower in Canberra. Once an iconic tourist destination, it was closed to the public in 2021 due to a state of disrepair. Telstra and the ACT government have agreed to work together on a plan to refurbish and reopen it. Thumbs up to that.
