Our last day of a 3+ week safari, @rossfloate.bsky.social & I were so jaded we were like “not photographing any more lions unless they’re doing something wild.” Then we saw 3 lions sleeping in a tree 😂

For my fellow Stephen King fans: this was a really good book and I want her to give so much more of his work the same treatment. Deeply satisfying.

Texting my mom about it

Screenshot of iMessage:
Me: I'll read it after | finish this one I'm reading - a memoir of a guy a little younger than me whose parents were in the Weathermen
Weather Underground, whatever they were calling themselves
Mom: Yeah, Weather Under-ground.. were they the ones that kidnapped Patty Hearst?

Me: “That was the Sym-bionese Liberation Army (don't ask me why that lives rent free in my head)
But they were all kinda connected
And the Black Panthers

Mom: That's right! Remember the others but don't have a clue what they did

Mom; That's right! Remember the others but don't have a clue what they did

Me: We don't have any crazy left wing radical groups anymore!

Mom: Ah.. the good old days

Me: They mostly blew shit up

The Dutch guy in Supertramp is the most Dutch looking guy in the history of Dutch guys.

The "Dutch guy" in Supertramp was Stanley "Sam" August Miesegaes. He was a Dutch millionaire and heir to a shipping fortune who provided the crucial financial backing that allowed co-founder Rick Davies to form the band in 1969

WHAT IS UP WITH THIS GUY

erinmargrethe@erinmargrethe· Jul 5

Got up for the sunrise. It was a bracing 3c/37f. Worth it.

Lakeside sunrise scene at different stages of dawn, viewed from under a dark roof or awning. A grassy foreshore leads to calm water, with silhouetted trees, signs, a parked vehicle and camper on the left, and an older bus or motorhome on the right
In this photo it is very dark, with only a thin orange glow along the horizon behind the lake

In this photo the sky has brightened to grey-blue with low rippled clouds above a golden horizon

In this photo the sun has just risen over the water, casting a bright orange reflection and strong lens flare across the grass and foreground.

Even Hitch is extra relaxed when we’re at the lake.

Ross took off somewhere to use his drone 20 min ago so I have been left alone with the fire. Update: we’re now out of firewood. Currently looking for flammable items around the house that won’t be missed. Might chuck that whole ALDI s’mores kit in.

erinmargrethe@erinmargrethe· Jul 4

Oh wow, it’s authentic as. I haven’t eaten this wax chocolate horror in over 20 years. I honestly just wanted it for the graham crackers.

Some aspects of being American is a chronic condition, and in this case I blame the flare-up on the middle aisles at the Northcote Plaza ALDI.

It 100% is. When we moved to this house 9 years ago (near Darebin Parklands), every time I walked the dog, I threw some dog kibble to the magpies, joking “it’s like paying the mafia not to break your legs!” Never been swooped by magpies in this entire area. Have witnessed others gettin’ it 😒

Lake doggin’

A small white French bulldog in a blue harness stands on bright green grass beside the sandy lakeshore of Lake Boga, Victoria, Australia. Calm water stretches across the left side of the image under a blue sky with large white and grey clouds. Trees and houses line the distant shore. The weather is a surprisingly pleasant 13c/55f

But Hitch pissed on every single item, as is his inalienable right as a doggo

A small white French bulldog wearing a blue and black harness stands on a discarded mattress on a grassy nature strip outside modern townhouses. Other hard rubbish items, including bed frames, boards, a wooden furniture piece, and a black cabinet, are stacked nearby.

Was about to fkn go off, and then I saw this:

A close-up of discarded household items on a nature strip, including a wooden table surface, a white metal bed frame, and a brown board with handwritten text reading, “Hard rubbish collection booked Monday 6th July.”

Got home from work and saw removalists dumping furniture on the nature strip in front of our place

A pile of discarded household items, including two mattresses, a white bed frame, and furniture pieces, sits on a grassy nature strip outside a row of modern townhouses. The street and gutter are wet from recent rain, reflecting nearby trees in the water.

We don’t even have a doorbell and my fucken dog still goes nuts barking when he hears one on tv. WHYYYYYY?

I never heard a doorbell in real life but I will bork my stupid head off if I hear one on the teevee

erinmargrethe@erinmargrethe· Jun 22

I was at a bit of a loss of what to say to my stepdad this first Father’s Day since my little brother died so I just googled for some inspo and this popped up and it’s like ok did he die or did he have a Red Bull come on seriously 😕 I wish my brother was here to laugh at this with me, goddamnit

erinmargrethe@erinmargrethe· Jun 22

I don’t wanna go home to Melbourne tomorrow I know it’s colder here but I don’t care I love it 😥

It’s cold as shit but the fire is keeping this dog hot water bottle warm

19 years ago I posted this on Facebook. What a different and trusting era 😂

Look at these little babies 20 years ago

Ross and Erin in probably August
2006 and maybe at Albert Park Lake and
both wearing stupid sunglasses with Melbourne CBD in the background

erinmargrethe@erinmargrethe· Jun 14

But seriously I still love him so much and we still laugh our heads off at each other regularly. Came home on Friday night to holes cut in our ceiling because of an ongoing roof leak and we both started making ceiling cat jokes which is dumb as fuck but made us both laugh like idiots

Greetings from Lake Boga, VIC

A man sits in a camping chair beside a small campfire on a grassy lakeside at dusk, with a white dog eating from a bowl nearby. The calm lake reflects the pastel clouds and wide blue sky, creating a peaceful, open landscape.

Just been the best little guy for the last 13 years. Always up for an adventure with us, & happy to tap out & go to sleep wherever when he’s had enough. Absolute little legend. I know that our days with him are numbered and I treasure every single one. Best boy ever.

Just bros chilling by the campfire

Location: Lake Boga, Victoria, Australia.

A bearded man in an orange jacket and bright yellow beanie crouches on a chair nearby, looking toward the dog. A bicycle, striped awnings, and other camping chairs are visible in the background.

I think this is technically *not allowed* but whatever
