This is a really beautiful piece from Sean Murphy on ABC #Australia about surfing in #Ireland. Watch it all though; it is about more than you think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWTb...

Has anyone got any spare sleep they’re willing to share/sell? The insomnia is really getting to me atm.

So the specialist says I’m suffering from chronic burnout. Why is it 5:30 am and I still can’t sleep (for the second night in a row)? 😭

#Abla deserves a rest during our boundary patrols these days. Plus, it’s a stunning morning with not a breath of wind so we’re just soaking it all in 🥰

When your dog is a Disney Princess.

If I was a reporter in #Australia, a good question to put to the government might be: Q: Is this a fair assessment - ASIO failed to warn law enforcement about the Bondi gun attack and now you have rewarded that same organisation with massive new unchecked powers?

…and now!

🚨 Chinese court sentenced #PaldenYeshe, monk of Kardze Monastery, to 6 years in January — just now coming to light. No formal charge disclosed. Sichuan police detained him in 2021, reportedly for teaching #Tibetan to children. Via www.thetibetpost.com/news/tibet/c...

#Wally may be deaf but she knows how to make sure Shayne doesn’t sneak off without her 😋

To imagine how many lanterns would be hung in #China is like trying to count how many trees would be in the Amazon. Yet it's claimed a remarkable 80% of the country's lanterns are still made, by hand, in a small town in Hebei Province. CLICK LINK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lady Muck #Abla has an orthopaedic mattress under her rug now. Wrist is showing signs of improvement; x-rays scheduled for Thursday.

#Abla’s in a silly mood this morning

And this is following on from 2025 and 2024 ….. 🫠

2026 basically

America will defeat Trump in a million brilliant ways...

NYC Water reveals water usage dropped during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, then spiked in the 15 minutes after. The spike was equivalent to 761,719 toilets flushing simultaneously.

This wet stuff starting falling from the sky at around 2 am. It was dark, so I’m not sure what it was.

Such a beautiful night

The purging of the most senior generals also brings scrutiny on the next layer of officers who may be wondering who's next? They also may not welcome promotion into the deadly zone where Xi's anti-corruption spotlight can be trained on you at any time. #China CLICK LINK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy New Year to Shayne and Jo, Wally & Abla and all their lovely animals on the farm @shaynecalliss.bsky.social @callissclan.bsky.social Wishing you all the best for 2026 (& a replacement phone for Shayne). A short cooler summer, decent rains, good health for you all and your family & lambies 🙏

#Abla & #Normie 🫶

Biiiiig stretch, #Wally

I’m not a fan of Christmas; but people doing dumb ass, funny shit is funny.

#NowPlaying @ronnisalt.bsky.social posted Ben Fold's original as a small moment of counterpoint to today's appalling events. It reminded me of this very fine accapella version. youtu.be/XzmCVZx_Ws4?...

Look what fell from the sky last night! #Abla

Assessment day today. First part of the process. A bit stressed and worried that only 2 hours of sleep is going to affect the efficacy of the outcome.

Ben Stokes, in Perth 2025, has become the first captain to take a five wicket haul on day one of a Test match after having won the toss and electing to bat The previous record was 4 wickets - Jasprit Bumrah on day one, Perth 2024 #AUSvENG

@shaynecalliss.bsky.social you’ve been quiet whilst Jo has been away. I hope you’re not in a biscuit coma.

Weekends don’t make a difference to me but I’m still glad it’s Friday afternoon.

And here they are

Just in case you aren't sure which country we're in 🌏

I really wanted to get to Kings Park yesterday morning for the spring plant sale. They sell local natives regularly through the year. I didn’t make it. I’ve been wanting to get there for 6 years. The struggle is real 🫠

@shaynecalliss.bsky.social quiet this weekend? Pizza night and windy days got you settled in?

#Insomnia is twice as bad when you’re sick. I feel so crap and tired right now.

On this day in 2019, it was a Thursday. A blue Thursday. Sydney Opera House. Sydney Harbour Bridge. Dawn.

@shaynecalliss.bsky.social justice a check in to see how you are going Shayne?

This dog led an officer to his leash while being rescued from his burning home. 14/10 for all (IG: aurorapoliceil)

Happy #TongueOutTuesday #Normie

It's a beautiful spring morning

The joys of my life. I have spoken to one person since Monday week past, my specialist for 10 mins last Thursday. Appointment for an hour tomorrow. Good times.

@shaynecalliss.bsky.social I hope there is still cake to get you through the week.

This year sucks just as badly as last year. What gives?

Sound up for this one. Yes, #Abla purrs 😻

We have these tunnels that go through the reservoir wall and turtles go up them thinking they are heading upstream so they require rescuing.

We were taken into the mountains of Shennongjia in central #China to meet the golden snubbed nosed monkeys which have - for the moment - been saved from extinction... CLICK ON LINK TOO SEE. www.bbc.com/news/article...
