Merci. 🫣

The galah eventually spotted where the 'psst...' sound was from. 😉

Psst...

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert divided into 5 panels. The first shows a multicultural, interfaith, intergenerational group of Australians in a moment of mourning outside the Bondi Pavilion. In the second and third panels, we see the tears of those Australians fall to the ground, and then intermingle in a crack in the concrete. A close up of that crack shows a tiny, fragile plant sprouting in that place, with the words "social cohesion" on the leaves. In the final panel, a heavy red carpet is rolled out, and a swarm of police in riot gear charges over it in pursuit of an unseen protester who has fled, dropping a protest sign saying "Not in our name". Beneath the carpet and the stampeding boots, the tiny plant and its white flower have been crushed.

A fragile, organic thing.

Psst...

Sending virtual hugs. 🌻

Oh, no! Sorry that you're facing major challenges of your own. Wish you well.

Some of Peter Drew’s ‘Aussie’ posters.

I’ve admired these on local walls for years, have pics on old phones, & just heard an interview with him on LNL.

What a beautiful peaceful embrace of immigrants to Australia amid all the current racist nastiness.

How about you?

A key test (day surgery) may provide some lead as to the cause - I sure hope so....otherwise eek. Oh, and In between, were other tests and reviews... "dot the 'i's' and cross the "t's" 🫣

Thanks for checking in. I'm okay - hops you are too! Same, rarely here , on this hub...soz - tech issues, along with limited time and use... now and again pop in for a quick squizz. Fatigue still factors daily...though "jet lag" has eased and strenght returned. Still not out of the woods just yet..

Buenas noches 🥱

In other news... caught a cicada on its "L's" take flight from garden...weaving, wobbly...to and fro, rising - though not high enough - kept smashing into the fence several times, before finally managing to clear the height.

The new AirTags 2 just arrived!

Time to take them apart 🧵

😵‍💫

Enjoyed this one in SMH letters today:

Incredible but tragic. This is the effect of wildfires raging in Australia. 😢🔥
