I took this ten minutes ago, and I've been waiting all year for a day like this. (You can call me Dexter if you like...)
Morning Skywalkers. The rain is mad out here today. Paddocks at the bottom of the hill will be underwater in a few hours. Dogs don't GAF. They are dry. #Melbourneweather
Ratboy says thanks for having an adventure today so that he doesn't need to. (He has barely moved all day)
When i was 15, I asked my (boomer) Dad why he protested against the Vietnam War, he gave me this to read. I wonder why it's not compulsory reading for teens (rhetorical).
Morning Skywalkers If you want a feel good story, google Tuvalu's Commonwealth Games medal. It was won by a boxer who didn't win a single fight.
Timeline cleanse - some crimson roselllas on our side lawn enjoy fake Spring #3. #Melbourneweather
George Foreman got me into liquid smoke in the early oughties. It took me ages to find it in Melbourne. You can buy it at Woolies now. (Any more fun facts about smoke appreciated. This challenge has not exactly grabbed me...) #masterchefau
Morning Skywalkers 9 30am and the paddocks are still covered in ice. 😀 #Melbourneweather
I had the biggest crush on Mary Tamm as a kid. Alyona looks so much like her... not ready for her to go. 😀
The plant based chocolate hazelnut is one of the better vegan icecreams (expensive AF though).
It's about a technology failure, like being in a submarine deep under the Arctic and everything just stops working. I drove my parents nuts back in the day, playing it on a loop.
Yeah the Norway game was one for the ages. I spent a week over there last year, wishing I lived there. So Norway are my team for now. As Crowbar's kind offer - tea would be perfect. I had to light the fire as soon as I got up, that's my adulting done for the morning. 😀
We have a rambling old farm house that would horrify Jenny. No matter how many drafts we block, the window panes are warping, doors are warping etc. Fortunately a few tons of wood fall from our trees each year that we can burn (carbon neutral)... The Bulldog is appreciating this today.
Made an incredibly rustic midweek dessert. Everyone had seconds, proving that I'm not the only one who doesn't give a shit about plating. The Bulldog went apoplectic in her quest to lick all the bowls. Never seen a dog so determined. #MasterchefAU
Morning Skywalkers. We have a koala on our property, we hadn't seen it for a few months, so we're worried that Ralph Babet had eaten him or her. But Blinky is alive and well. #straya
The Bulldog sits at the door staring at me with an "are you serious" look if it's raining outside. She's a person, apparently, and they don't go out in the rain. And Memphis is a like minded lad...
This is a copy of the front page of The Economist from a few weeks ago. They are quite disdainful of the way that traders are kicking the can down the road over Trump.
Fake spring #1 in early June. Keep on mining that coal, Murray... #melbourneweather
