The Blossom Gatherers - Raqib Shaw (2017 - art gallery nsw)

Yesterday was spent in an intensive training session including “role play” (my least favourite activity) Today I’ve felt like a zombie all day after the intensive interaction & enforced performative learning and participation (whilst worrying about the work piling up) Wednesday felt like Friday

This is an oil on canvas painting titled "Kitchen at Domaine D'Audabiac" by the artist Aldo Balding.

Happy 1:30 am Tuesday morning good wishes to all of you in Sydney who are awake at this ungodly hour Except this guy This guy can go and get fucked

Spider-senses doing their thing again … badly Leaving home this morning, looked at the electric security gate and thought ‘what would happen if the antenna stopped working’ - OUT OF THE BLUE .. the gate has been there for over 6+ years Arriving home tonight, 4 of us all at the same time …

Walk has been achieved, longer than previous recent walks. It was gorgeous in the early morning mist. Coffee in hand, washing load on. Reading the online news with a rising sense of horror and dread.

The world is witnessing the consequences of a perfect storm of aid cuts, extreme nationalism, withdrawal of multi-lateralism, attacks on science, and under-investments in public health www.wsj.com/world/africa...

In random news, the glycine which is MEANT to help me sleep through the night, does not in fact achieve this lofty goal Instead, what it DOES do is provide ridiculously vivid dreams that do not disappear in the morning light.

Got up and went for a walk .. again Delightfully brisk outside and perfect temps for a coffee when home

@dogboy64.bsky.social not that you need any more temptation - but have you seen the booksale over at book grocer? bookgrocer.com/collections/...

Scientists named this species of hairy ghost pipefish after beloved Sesame Street resident Mr. Snuffleupagus and we're obsessed.

Meeting this morning has moved 5 times so far …. My senior leader just contacted me at 7:30am to tell me it’s on the other side of the city to where I am now … I had to open the invite and show her that it’s set at CBD :/

A friend here shared this recipe to me … it’s ridiculously easy and super tasty .. and bonus points for enabling a #lazygirl dinner when one is too tired to properly cook (Please note - you don’t need the hoisin sauce - i couldn’t find mind in the fridge, and it was fine without it)

Some days are crumpets for dinner days 🤷🏼‍♀️

Biennale adventuring - all the way out to Campbelltown

There is a 2025 JURASSIC PARK MOVIE? … another one in this franchise? I thought it was all done and dusted … did … did we … like .. just run out of ideas?

The constant accusation that being against the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza is being anti semitic by politicians and press is destructive, opportunist and, from my experience, utterly untrue - here is a little story ….

me right now

In other news - rewatched the Truman show for the first time again in many many years - it holds up! probably moreso now than when it was released

sitting here waiting for: 1. the tv system to update 2. the group chat to kick off again 3. my team member to inform me they've completed all tasks so that I can log off and go to bed this has been the longest hour ever

The #ClimateCrisis does not care about your "quality of life" Key Biscayne

Oregano, holy basil, and marigolds, planted Washing done New power board installed Hooks replaced

I’m meant to be going to bunnings to try and close off an annoying errand / thing … and … mentally preparing to perform this action is EXHAUSTING. I hate it there - i hate visiting there

I’m with Georgia - this no pocket business is infuriating

it's Saturday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: April 25 edition" — Donny throws it, Hannity blows it, and so much more... thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

This is a very nice video.

Shiraz?

All day workshop It’s going to include “share a fact about yourself” We are supposedly going to learn how to be more resilient in a world of uncertainties - as if we haven’t been operating in this state constantly for the past 7 years

It’s chicken pot pie time

Turned on a cooking show, which included the instructions to use ‘home made red wine’ .. as ‘store bought red wine will be too variable in the final dish” And i would like to know who the fuck has ‘home made red wine’ kicking around at their place?

Sitting here for the last 30 minutes thinking that someone outside is cooking a dish that smells absolutely amazing !! … It’s not outside — it’s my chicken stock that’s boiling on the stove :/

Whilst walking through the white bay power station for the biennale - was accidentally caught up in a moving live dance and musical performance …. This was as awkward as it sounds A warning might have been nice, or people marking out the area where they were going to stop and dance

The new Seafood Markets, (minus the thousands of influencers) is actually quite nice …. Definitely seems to be fewer retailers though

"Eye symptoms may signal higher-severity long COVID" Yale researchers found 57% of people with long COVID reported new eye issues—like blurred vision, dry eyes, floaters or flashes—after their initial infection.

Cannot continue the thing i was setting up - because now i need new cords and new connectors. - and this is very frustrating

Waiting

Wanted a fancy coffee as a special treat .. at 8:45am on Saturday the line was out the door, every seat was taken, and there were about 30 people milling about outside - drove past and didn’t stop Today .. it’s even busier .. if that’s even possible. Again, did not stop
