Looks fab. I remember how it was when you first moved and kid wanted to garden🌼

Cabin.

You might easily take this for tropical rainforest in some faraway country.

But it's an Irish temperate rainforest, a much *rarer* habitat.

And it's equally threatened, only by masses of deer, goats, and sheep, rather than chainsaws or bulldozers.

Terracotta pot number 2 partly covered with mosaic tile some are round and some are fragments.

Terracotta pot with pastel mosaic tiles in a petal shape applied around the base and other tiles scattered on the workspace.

Working towards Christmas gifts for colleagues. Not the fine grout I usually use but I’ll let it cure and then retouch. I’m enjoying working with colour and it’s cheaper than going to therapy.🌼🌼🌼 #mosaics #fun #arttherapy #colour

We are glad you’re here too!🌼

Keep looking at the time and the sky and trying to reorient my time sense.

I also now have 1 child NSW on same time zone, 1 QLD an hour behind and my WA child three hours behind. It makes catch up phone calls interesting.

Not alone and tomorrow a whole lot of teachers and school students are going to commence being grumpy for about a month until we have all adjusted.😂😂😂

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

A small sanderling bird with pale white plumage and mottled grey and brown markings scurries briskly across a wet sandy shore. Its slender black legs are mid-stride, reflecting lightly in the shallow water, while its pointed black bill faces forward as if in determined motion.

So it’s back to me to host #BirdOfTheDay and I’m thinking Ministry of Silly #Walks so basically any bird walking. The alternative is #photobomb when a bird flys or walks into shot. I’ve captioned this 👇“When you tell a teenager to do anything.” 😁 Good luck!! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Commiserations. I currently have a louder than normal band playing in the club about 5 doors up from me. Based on my previous experience Valium wouldn’t touch it. Hope you have a peaceful nights sleep and the V works for you. 😴

Forgot that I also finished off the grout on a small mosaic project, the tiles on a second then began the third. Also managed a couple of rounds of crochet on my rug. Feeling quite wired and tired all at once. Need to sleep daylight saving begins tomorrow.🌼

Took the dog out for exercise, did some food prep, finished a task for work which has been ongoing all year, mowed the back yard, watered the garden. Now lying down in shock because I have a day to myself before Monday.🤯😊🌼🌼🌼

If you have to do the maths at least the subject is interesting and important. 🌼🌼🌼

Nearly every feature on the site is improving for large text users all the time.

Thank you.

I think local food could also cut carbon emissions. Moving away from global’ trade of unnecessary‘stuff’ would also cut a lot. We have more than we can use.

It would be cool if we could cease turning the arts into competitions and ratings tables.

Operation Relocate Caravan to Melbourne is in progress.

We have a temp location, but starting the scary process of looking for a caravan sized workshop to lease.

The Trump regime has ordered nine top universities to agree to its demands or lose access to federal funds.

Reminder for any school dealing with Trump's extortion: You can't appease a tyrant.

I often think that ‘neurotypical’ is less typical than previously thought and it’s seeming prevalence is the result of social training and masking.🌼

Remember my father joyfully doing a stats course as part of a qualification upgrade. I detest and distrust them. They can be made to say anything. My sympathy.🌼

RIP Jane Goodall 1934-2025 A quote from Jane Goodall "Somehow we must keep hope alive - a hope that we can find a way to educate all, alleviate poverty, assuage anger, and live in harmony with the environment, with animals and with each other."

Colon cancer is on the rise among young people – and research points to one major culprit | Devi Sridhar If smoking was the cancer villain of the 20th century, eating ultra-processed food may be its 21st-century counterpart, says Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinb...

Simple answers here if folk could prize themselves away from junk, and corporates could be regulated out of selling and marketing the worst shit. Giving workers more time to shop and cook would also help big-time on every level.
