Happy Australian National Flag Day.

If it’s anything like ‘Pheasants Nest’, we’re in a real treat. And, trust me, that’s a huge thing for me to say. I’m not well known for loving fiction.

The pen is mightier than the sword. Democratic duty is done. Don’t blame me. I voted for Kodos.

That moment when you get AI to create a portrait of you in the style of William Dargie.

Achievements unlocked this week: 1) Passed my Army Cadet Adult Leadership Development Course Grade 1 Mod 2; 2) Was the subject of a trivia question at said course (I overused ‘m’kay’ during the week - hence my new profile pic); and 3) Made some new friends whom I will miss.

Still on a high after meeting @drdemography.com and @luciaoc.bsky.social yesterday. I’m still chuffed they knew who I was.

Posting a letter, January 2025.

Who lost 1.5kg in the first week of his diet and is over the moon as a result? This guy.

‘Ooh, January 1. Better get going on those taxes, Neddy.’

Happy Christmas Eve, everybody. (Courtesy of the Scottish Parliamentary Counsel.)

Those who know me well know that I was an Army Cadet in my youth. Now, I’m back - as a Second Lieutenant.

How good are personalised cards. 50 of these babies for me to sign.

Let’s play a game. Study reading or pleasure reading?

I forgot BlueSky existed. It’s been a busy week at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference in Sydney.

Today, we do not celebrate war, but we commemorate it. The freedoms we enjoy today are because of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as those who have served and who continue to serve. Lest we Forget.

From yesterday: That moment when you’re part of an academic procession but still want to show support for the Swannies.

As a result of a newspaper appearance (‘The Saturday Telegraph’, 28 October 2023), I’m tempted to get business cards made. ‘Jeremy Travers, Reschs model.’

No amount of federal aid could clean that up!

Well, that’s my plane reading sorted for tomorrow.

Using an image, show a movie you are sure you have watched more than 10 times.

I now have a sudden urge to visit SLNSW and look at microfilms.

That moment when you’ve been waiting for a phone call about the outcome of a job application and the waiting game sucks.
