First walk around Albert Park Lake for 2026.

While all you young ones are out partying....this old man is crashing really quickly and going to bed. So here's last year's fireworks and light show. Stay safe. Be nice. HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Saved lives *and* screwed Sky News? Put down your glasses, we have found the Australian of the Year

I COOKED!!! And this time, I really did. Strapatsada: Rustic, village style. From mum's recipe. Scrambled eggs. Paprika. Diced tomatoes. Feta cheese. And....good old chicken salt.

Pre haircut photo Post haircut photo Barber spent far too much time telling me how to cure my bald patch. Just no respect from the young these days.

Thank goodness for cool changes. Down 10⁰C in under an hour. Doors and windows open.

Twins, clickbait, nazis, plus a smattering of good things here and there, I promise. Recap the year in Australian TV with me (a hottie) on The Last Year of Television. Out Monday on @binge.com.au ❤️

And now he’s watching ESPN and the NHL season. 😂

Awning out. Curtains drawn. Air conditioner on!

Well…Chris Minn’s little distraction seems to have worked. No one’s talking about how incompetent the NSW Police were missing all the signs. Even if…. www.theage.com.au/national/nsw...

Mussolini: Son Of The Century | Stream free on SBS On Demand Rather unsettling watching this at the moment.

Jacaranda tree

Where's Hristaki?

Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story - 2024 The bond between him and Robin Williams. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #FilmSky

I have been banned, and under the punishment of death, from making any noise. 🙊 Someone is watching the final episode of Heated Rivaly.

Photo before the great eating. After the great eating...not a pretty sight.

Food coma!!!

To all Hristos's / Christos's Happy Name Day !!! Also, Merry Christmas. Also, also, the Christmas tree was rather delicious.

A newly cleaned fridge smelling of lemons. Took all morning. Who says there's nothing to do on Christmas Eve.

I COOKED! And by that, I mean I may have opened the over door for the salmon. I certainly opened the front door to let husband in with the lobster. Lobster, salmon, and the best choc chip cookie present eva! OMG. Cooking is exhausting.

Went for a walk on a great sunny afternoon. Old South Yarra vs New South Yarra

The Great Ideas of Philosophy. Starting this because I'm trying to be intellectual 🤓 🙂

Christmas decorations are up. Merry Christmas, you heathens.

So. How good is LinkedIn, hey?

One Battle After Another - 2025 Yeah. My record of not liking Leonardo Di Caprio film remains intact. ⭐️ and a half #FilmSky

The Island of Missing Trees - Elif Shafak (2021) Good read. Good historical perspective on the tensions between Greeks and Turks and the 1974 war in Cyprus. But…. A fig tree as narrator? ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

Well. Dan Murphy's in Prahran's gone a bit up market.

Is it okay if you don't like "Heated Rivalry"? Depending on the answer, I might be asking for a friend. 👀

Another walk. To The beach this time. Middle Park Beach

Oh, for Petes sake, Melbourne and the weather. It peaked at 37.3⁰ around 1.30pm. Then it fell to 29⁰ at 5.30pm. And in the last hour and a half, it's gone up 4 deg to 33⁰ You're going the wrong way.

Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

Forgot to post earlier. I invoked the heat policy and did not go to the gym today because of the 37⁰ C day!!!! So I went for a walk around the Royal Botanical Gardens early morning.

The Entire History of The Universe: Ep 51 - YouTube Finally caught up with this fascinating YouTube documentary series. Everything you ever wanted to know about the quantum universe but we’re too afraid to ask. Sometimes the internet is a good place

It’s going to be a bit warm tomorrow. 37°C. Good thing I have a heat policy when it comes to going to the gym. I don’t have to go once it goes above 30°C

Sinners - 2025 Meh. ⭐️⭐️ #FilmSky

My Christmas Tree. Sure tasted good.

Toilets been leaking for a few days now. Went onto YouTube. Found the problem and what needed replacing. Went online to find a stockist. Bought it for 7 bucks. Came home and replaced it. Ahhhh…..the serenity. And I still have all my fingers intact. 😅 I’m a big boy now.

The US is entering its Brezhnev era. Whatever happened to the USSR?

Just plain old Albert Park Lake

Black Swans of Albert Park Lake.

Birds of Albert Park Lake.

RIP American tourism sector.

I COOKED!!! Tiamo - Carlton. Gnocci with Amatriciana sauce.

The Tyranny of Merit - Michael J Sandel A book about winners and losers and how merit is used to reinforce the status quo. Which we see globally is not really working for a whole heap of people lately. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

Metrio, Thanks. Also, can anyone read my future? My Theia could.

Apparently. The Ashes are on. Who knew? 🤷‍♂️

That’s why!

Between The World and Me - Ta-Nehisi Coates (2015) A father’s letter to his son. A letter of love, fear and hope. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BookSky

Heart Eyes - 2025 A rom / com / horror. It had its moments. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #FilmSky
