A nice thing about the first year in a new home is seeing how the light and shadows move as the seasons change ✨
Got tickets to Push Over, aka this retired millennial groupie’s dream lineup (although it does need Shihad imo, forever mad/sad they broke up), and this in the T&Cs has me picturing armed babies being carried around
Phone showing me when they were babies and my god they were so small 🥹 [Harley was about two years old here and Lumi only 7 weeks and still in her sock that stopped her eating through her feeding tube]
I have been progressively working on my little courtyard since moving in here in Feb, and it took someone coming over who hadn’t seen it since I bought it to make me realise how far I’ve gotten with it. From a mud pit to somewhere the dogs can run around and that is functional 🥰
It is one year without Cheddar today, the best and most loved cat. My sweet boy was not a people-cat so I am l forever privileged to have been his person 🧡
Spent this winter solstice morning on a big walk along the Merri Creek with my bestie and I cannot overstate just how nice it was to not have the shadow of assignments looming over me, no work, just nature and dogs and gossiping
If (when?) this happens in here the Aus is going to have so much to answer for
This whole piece is so powerful but this part in particular on the urgency of meeting this moment, we all need to heed the call to action
I’ve had the tiny dog gang at my place all weekend and as much as I love tiny dog gang, I think four dogs is too many dogs in my little unit
Can I recommend getting a little bit drunk and doing karaoke as a cure for almost anything
The figure is 347 days from assessment to receiving Support at Home services, 347 days.
*cries in I am so freaking close to finishing marking my class’s second assignment and I just want it to be done* 😭
Shit is fucked but here are some ducks having a great time at the mostly empty local pool
@brontelee.bsky.social we have been in our new area for only 5 days but Harley has already worked out the way home from the park
