50 years into the 24,000 years needed. Not optimal.
Nobody with my level of musical skills should have a mental "to buy" list that passes the $2000 mark. 😆
Feeling tired and happy after a glorious weekend at the wonderful Blue Mountains Music Festival - 29 years old and still a treat, even in a rare sunny year. See you for your milestone in 2027! 🎶
Excellent! I've purchased tickets now for myself and my mother and we'll see what happens (busy times with work and a looming trip overseas). 😊
This was an incredible read: beautiful and horrifying, with well developed characters and a perfect portrayal of white Australia's "I'm not racist... but". Also it was such a pleasure to read something set in Western Sydney and now I want more.
Thank you! If I can squeeze it in this year, I'm not sure yet which weekend it'll be. Are you open on both?
TIL: Captain Picard Day is the same day as Bloomsday. 🧐
Sorry about the rat though! 😬
You mean if I do the garden trail I might visit YOUR garden?! 🌱🌱🌱
I'm reading about the end of one massive music festival as I head to my much smaller favourite one. If this is the end of Byron, I feel really lucky to have attended four times and to hold some fantastic memories.

When introducing yourself to voters, it’s good to make sure you don’t get off to a creepy start
Just put in my evisa application for Vietnam. The e stands for "Eeeeee!" 🥳
A man stormed an Iftar event screaming slurs and had to be restrained by people and got a "take a walk mate" from the cops?!?! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
Those 28 seconds deserve a post all of their own. Australian politics? It’s… not easy youtu.be/mSjGsZgO8KE?...
I have been to the south in January and it was still a lot for me. This time, we're starting at Da Nang and ending up in Hanoi. At least it should be slightly cooler.
I just remembered a very specific line, and it was Sp*cey imitating Cl*nton during a long-ago talkshow interview. May as well put that file in the recycling bin, brain.
I can't wait for this relentless humidity to pass - just in time for my trip to [checks notes] Vietnam. 😬
I'm going to let myself be happy about this news this morning.
So relieved that the Iranian players can stay in Australia - occasionally we get it right - but thinking of how much more we could be doing and saying about other people in danger around the world.
With the several teeny bananas in the box, I made my first banana bread in ages. Then I asked myself how I could add some more sugar and fat to it, and served this slice with ice cream.
Yeah. Nice. Used up some more of the broccoli, two zucchini, half a jar of olives, and some passata I had.
The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

I'm making soffritto to use the carrots from my fruit and veg box; I had no celery, so have thrown in the stalks from the parsley and broccoli. We shall see...!
My GOD I hate the sound of liquids being mixed on cooking shows. I would tune in to watch episodes with that specific noise removed.

Watching this was an interesting experience. It's not hugely camp, or loudly schlocky - it's just Very Not Good. I didn't like the screenplay, direction, acting, allegedly 80s fashion or the soundtrack. But apart from that...
