Yuin country. Enjoying the sea change. As an elderly (apparently it’s official!), left-leaning woman, it’s as good as a holiday - so they say 😊

I think Albanese has a problem with his verbal punctuation - he seems to break at odd times. I can’t be sure if his written punctuation is the same - does he write his own speeches? I find him irritating to listen to. Maybe it’s me.

If there’s no petrol or diesel to be had - more than enough of a good excuse to stay home & hibernate. Win win πŸ‘πŸ»
Shortage of toilet paper however is another matter entirely πŸ˜‚

Yes. And so do I. But I will not ever give up, hoping independents will come to the fore if not the greens. Big changes take time, persistence and stubbornness.

So why not vote right out into left field - you might feel you’ve contributed to the duopoly’s despondency- especially as a whole cohort of similarly minded voters will probably do the same. It might just reduce the duopoly’s majority in the parliament. We do have power - we need to learn to use it!

Well, as the β€œrule of law” means nothing in today’s world - what is to stop Australia unilaterally changing the contract to advantage Australians finally?

Is he pleading innocence because he’s one of God’s chosen few? The eternal victim? β€œThe devil made me do it”?

Yes. And I wonder what an ALP debrief will show after the next election, when ALP loses its spectacular majority. Albanese may be laughing out of the other side of his β€œtoadying grin”.

I know! I wouldn’t have known they were there except for the noise. I was a bit concerned that the swarm at child-height might attract passing children’s unnecessary attention - hence the call to the bee rescuer.

We had a swarm settle on a low shrub in our garden next to the footpath. Phoned a bee-keeper (found online) & asked if he would collect the swarm. Arrived within 30 mins & gently persuaded the old queen & workers to move into his collection box. Used only the smoker. Educated us muchly 😊

We could start a market garden with these - rampant in our β€œlawn”

Beef Lasagne feeds 8-10 people. A little bit rough around the edges though! Couldn’t find my perfect lasagne dish - it was in hiding in the wrong drawer! I’ve found it now 😊

Here it is - could have been a little more browned in the centre but it was done on the edges & I didn’t want to burn it!
Need to fiddle with the oven racks - I think the centre rack was too high? And maybe make a smaller quantity next time! But tastes great!

I wanted to try out my new freestanding cooker. It gets my tick of approval 😊
