A semi-regular reminder to donate to your local women's shelter. The shocking statistics below are for the #Hobart Women's Shelter. 80% of kids and 90% of women are turned away - it is clearly a crisis! If you can help your local women's shelter, please do.
Unintentionally chemistry themed restaurant toilet signage. #ChemChat
With Norway out, I'm out of our family sweepstake. 🥺 Top Deck block of chocolate for coming fourth. 😋
TIL about calendar medallions. Just pop a coin in your pocket and you'll know the dates for that year.
Also features on 2 Euro coins, and also my wife's favourite chocolate biscuits from Aldi.
A reminder of the wonderful Atomium in the Belgian capital Brussels. The structure depicts the body-centred cubic unit cell of iron. You can go inside - well worth a visit. #ChemChat

Giving me flashbacks to the Brisbane Myer Centre Topps dragon roller coaster.

Blueyism, complicated by the fact that the mint has produced legal tender that say dollar bucks (with bucks in a slightly smaller font)
Tell me again mainland footy fans and AFL corporate folk, and build-it-and-all-will-be-excellent-never-mind-the-economic-modeling locals about how much Tasmania needs a stadium. #Priorities #politas www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...
Each of the blue beamlines below have control hutches of this colour (if memory serves). Not sure if this is 100% up to date - might be a few more now.
Our <$25 two-slice-one-knob-push-lever Sunbeam will outlive the heat death of the universe.
Early Christmas present for the wealth hoarders in your life.
Reaching back into the mid 90s with the first album of the morning, Tonic's Lemon Parade. Interesting trivia - band member Jeff Russo went on to do a huge range of soundtracks, including the Fargo TV series (listen to to incredible character theme track below).
The Google street view of the Trader Joe's on Hyperion features a car with a crumpled front and a tow truck.
