If you're going on FB, having a whinge to get sympathy but you can't spell properly AND call people by derogatory terms, and then tell us your dog isn't on the lead, what do you expect?

Also, is 'Scroate' an actual word, and what does it mean?

Yes I am a terrible s*** stirrer sometimes & I'm in a mood, but when somebody gets on FB to complain about getting vilified for dog poos, & they also mention they haven't got their dog on a lead- I am going to pile on with everyone else.

I hope there is no inappropriate kissing of players in the awards ceremony.

I've been up since about 3:30 so I'm punch drunk tired and feeling quite philosophical for this time of the morning but it just goes with the territory of a weirdly wired brain and insomnia.

I am not at all ashamed to admit that I'm watching #farmerwantsawife just to see gorgeous young main characters crying over their women.

I would not want to be an Essendon or a Giants supporter at this minute.

I made my ad hoc-mockup of a jambalaya- super spicy wild rice blend, jalapeno & cheese sausage, a few prawns & stock, herbs, passata, veges, Louisiana style spice mix. We're living high on the hog, I tell you. (Incl malto-milk icream sandwiches).

Listening to #TheGrandparentTrap on ABCLifeMatters. It is pretty good. They talk about ‘GrandFriends’ and excluded grandparents. Getting older is a privilege. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Barnaby Joyce and Pauline Hanson deserve each other, in a delightful science experiment with Manganese and hot H2O sort of way. Turn the heat up, I say. #Auspol

Can I make scones with cooked porridge? If not, what CAN I make with porridge in it?

Sorry if that offended anyone. I love cats, I had 2 gingers. But srsly.

I love animals right, there was a dead ginger cat in the middle of effing nowhere on the way back from Orange yesterday. Somebody has thought to FB post a picture of said cat that they've picked up from the road, wondering who it belongs to. ( very sorry for their loss.) A friggin ginger feral. 🙄

Wandered thru the amazing artefacts of an old mansion, picnicked on the grass in the sunshine with a couple of buddies. A holiday in a day.

It was a toss-up between my very first parkrun or this: A little bit more sleep might have pushed it in a much more active direction.

So what if I need to apply 3 or 4 different medicants before bed. The main thing is, I awake the next day feeling like Superwoman.

Good morning, Skeethearts ☀️❤️☕️

Pays to tag along with J occasionally.

Sometimes dead trees are more magnificent than the ones that are alive.

Leaderlike. My @smh cartoon.

This is what fighting fascism looks like.

Listening to Hamish McDonald take it up to the Karens of Sydney on ABC radio is quite entertaining but Also Mate. Being a prat.

I just want to get all the ai and all the celebrity crap out of my online life. I suppose that means I need to just go back to emails?

I used to live in this part of the world. It's winter. I am quite OK to not be in the way of snakes in this cold climate. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

I just had a dizzy spell, and I am seated, with my feet up. Probably will stay put then.

It's lovely that the ABC have streamed conversations with Sam Neill, from past years. That they then follow up with the songs of Crowded House is lovely too. I should be drinking pinot noir & getting sloshed as well, I suppose. Ah God... all a bit sad. I need to get out & get some dog play.

Related: it was a bloody cold night. And my PJs were uncomfortable.

I've woken up feeling less than great. Did not sleep well. The dog managed to have me on a sliver of bed under a handkerchief of doona, no matter how many times I rearranged us.

A weird and wonderful day in some ways... Unable to find a Bodum insert in my town but this will do for now.

Can we please just have a little moment for my Bodum glass insert, I've had it for about 12 or so years now. Tapping my ground beans into it, I was a bit too heavy-handed. 😟

Just had to say 'no' to the ppl who ambushed me to look after their cat, while they go away & leave their dogs, now. They are very sh****y dog-owners TBH. I am just wating for the feeling OK to kick in. I find it really hard. Especially with pets as ignored as much as these ones are.

Was dreading the hotel but since it’s next to a good Italian restaurant, has really soft carpet floors and great heating, I think we’ve done okay. And perhaps Orange is not as cold as it can be, sometimes.

I love my young friends, but they are mostly of the age of not knowing or appreciating #SamNeil. At least my kids are old enough to know him. We’re all grieving.

With more than 150 acting roles under his belt, Sam Neill leaves a lasting legacy to the film and TV industry, and an array of characters that will stay in fans' hearts forever.

I finally have possession of a shacket and I really like it. And this is why I moved to Bumpkinville.

We're 'almost' a pack today.

We walked out on Wahluu when it was 1°C this morning, foggy, beautiful. We rugged up well. Then we hit a couple of big shops, and I was all of a sudden back in North Seattle, walking up those horrible Target stairs, only to be cooked like a hotdog once inside.

My ears are ringing something awful. TBH I’m not 100% well.

Took my extra dog Rosie along with Joey to dogpark. She was too scared to go in. Went to the river instead, then I put her in the warm car with some treats. Joey & I socialised for a while But upon leaving, I thought she'd escaped the car. Turns out she thought she'd drive home alone.

Got just enough of a lurgy to feel yuck in the morning and again in the late arvo. A Clayton’s kind of cold.
