And no, just because you’re from Queensland, you’re not “used to it”.

Beautiful storm rolling through the southern suburbs of Brisbane atm. Hopefully the rain protects the garden from the 39 degree day tomorrow.

Stay safe in the heatwave. Go somewhere cool if you can, and hydrate. This level of heat kills if you don’t respect it.

Never send to know for whom the bell tolls?

The Nine Tailors is, of course, the only correct choice.

Second place for me would be Murder Must Advertise.

May i start by saying my skills do not extend to assessing the persuasiveness of these studies at all.

Here’s an old one claiming the connection: australianprescriber.tg.org.au/articles/cal...

And a recent one that is cautious, but still urges conservatism: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

iirc there have been some studies (I don’t know how persuasive) that link calcium supplementation with increased risk of heart disease - but not increased calcium consumption from food. A relative’s doctor was sufficiently concerned to take them off supplements.

Even though it’s been 22 years since I was stuck on that ride for more than an hour, my family can still bring on unpleasant physical symptoms in me merely by humming the first two bars.

So yes. Very much a Dr Who episode waiting to happen.

Loved Usman’s answer when asked if he was in Zaman’s ear in the last over - I’m the only one who can talk to him, he doesn’t speak English. We talk in Urdu - all said in the broadest Australian accent possible.

Been there, done that, burned the t-shirt.

My sympathies!

Thank you for your service!

This Fact About Fallopian Tubes Will Ruin Your Day Another day, another fact about our bodies we were never aware of.

Not only is there open space, but an egg produced by one ovary can be picked up by the opposite fallopian tube

Have done this forever. Absolutely the best idea.

It used to be even better when the ABC radio commentary was immediate, but the television had the 7 second delay. One could read a book, subconsciously note any rising excitement in the commentary, and look up in time to see the action.

😂🤣😂
Let’s hope it’s a champion either way! 🥇

Acronym for “Greatest Of All Time” as I recall.

Whether that refers to you or the year, I leave up to you!

The introduction to the sequel, where Pile describes being voted out as club president because of the success of the first book, is also delightful.

“Even as failures, we failed.”

I expect that was Christchurch Cathedral (AoNZ) after the 2011 earthquake. Not sure about hard hats, but I recall photos of clergy with plenty of rubble in the background.

In my experience, gloves, goggles and two bricks:

Excellent work by the very talented @nordacious.bsky.social

How many Greek deities are in this diagram?

Very nice! But perhaps warn MB not to speak to any fauns she finds near the lamppost.

Perspective?

Bought a V'l'ctrix (apparently I don't like the e in ebike) 2 years ago and love it, other than the brakes which needed to be upgraded.

It gets me to work and back (12k each way) ~3 times/wk with minimal issues.

It’s when they start playing the SEWS before the weather report that you need to start worrying . . .

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

“Answer me these riddles three” 🤣

Can confirm - very oppressive at the moment.

100% agree. DLS did say she was influenced by Wilkie Collins - another expert howdunnit exponent.

I still remember being blown away by my first reading of The Nine Tailors at age 13. I’d read a lot of Christie before then, but Sayers showed me what a murder mystery could be.

I think it was Dorothy L Sayers who said that she preferred writing books about real people and messy feelings, rather than a classic puzzle story.
