Beheading was the usual solution.

You are most certainly not incompatible with Australia. Some of these people should take a good hard look at the bible. Or the Westboro church.

It isn’t the best spot, we’ve tried there before with no luck but youngest teenager was only interested if there was pizza and ice-cream as part of the deal.

Something roughly wolf shaped and coloured chasing me in an alpine region would definitely have made me ski faster.

Same, although if I don’t take magnesium it definitely gets worse. Stick on heat patch if it is happening in the same spot helps, they last for hours.

We’ve made it through separate flu A and Covid infections in the house from the kids without the adults coming down with either. Masks and air purifiers.

It is always the pony.

Adds to cart

The tooth fairy sometimes plays jokes in our house and hides the money.

Bankcard rides again!

I wasn’t but now I definitely won’t

9pm, avoid peak hour on the way in

Picture of the pink hyacinth orchid, many small pink flowers on a single stem with ferns behind.

We get them in Warburton too

It was much more visible through a camera. It was grey with some very faint beams to the naked eye.

I caught it at St Kilda pier. So excited.

Aurora Australis, a band of green light with purple above and light beams.

Aurora from St Kilda pier in Melbourne. Bucket list item ticked off.

Then there’s the SSRIs. The warnings on the pack are there for a reason. Can confirm. When they work they are great but…

I suspect there’s still quite a bit of business travel driving those numbers, My workplace still seems to have people going back and forth and I’ve seen no communication on a US travel ban. Could not pay me enough to go over there and risk my neck in one of their detention centres.

This reptilian scourge on humanity is forgetting one of the most important lessons of history. It is one thing to take a territory. It is another to hold it against a violently opposed local population.

A shelter is a great idea. I’ve been in a burning house once and escaped with non serious burns & smoke inhalation. 0/5 stars, do not recommend. If you are rural you may get caught, that’s reality. If a fire breaks out at the start of our rural’s property’s dead end road there is no escape route.

I have a chest in my front room from the 1500s - Antiques Roadshow confirmed. Made it all the way to Australia. Bought it at auction, I’m a history grad, knew what I was looking at. Nobody else did. Offered serious $$ while waiting in the queue at Antiques Roadshow though.

We ordered pizza and youngest teenager finished his and the half of mine that I had leftover (he asked first). There goes lunch leftovers.

This story had everything I was expecting and more. In all seriousness, this must have been terrifying for the victims and I hope justice is done.

Christened as the ‘spinning blades of death’ by my teenagers. Awesome job on the blackberries. Swordgrass not so much.

Gun laws might be a different story. Nats and One Nation almost guaranteed to kick off and ruin the Libs high-horse performative politics.

Red sun through the bushfire smoke haze in Melbourne tonight. 1st time my youngest has seen this and my eldest was probably too young to remember. They thought that the cool change meant it was over, we had to tell them the fire makes its own weather.

We tried too, the in-laws sent back an emoji of their alpacas 😩 and stayed put.

We lost the deck, sheds, equipment but the house was ok. We no longer have property up there, although our new place isn’t far away as the bushfire flies. There’s an evacuation order for Marysville. Keep them in your thoughts. I doubt I’ll sleep much tonight. (We are safe in Melb) 2/2

In 2009 I slept through Black Saturday. Heavily pregnant, I went to bed after the change thinking it was safe. I woke to a phone that had gone mad with messages, family and friends terrified that we might have been at the family property in Buxton, next to Marysville. We were home in Melbourne. 1/2

History grad here. I have sons. I’m terrified. A sea of waving red flags is in front of us.
