Short first Ashes Test results in record donation of surplus food across Western Australia Optus Stadium donates fresh produce after Englandโ€™s capitulation with OZHarvest redistributing โ€˜hundreds of kilosโ€™ to charities

Truckloads of leftover food donated as The Ashes Test Cricket Series (Australia v. England) ends early.

OzHarvest said it was the biggest single donation of food it had ever received in Western Australia.

Apparently, the collective noun for a group of turtles is
a 'bale' of turtles.

But to me, this is a turtle choir. ๐Ÿข

Compromises, voluntary measures and no mention of fossil fuels: key points from Cop30 deal A deal is welcome after talks nearly collapsed but the final agreement contains small steps rather than leaps

Excellent summary by @dpcarrington.bsky.social +Jonathan Watts in @theguardian.com of heartbreaks, small triumphs, leadership+sabotage in #Belรฉm as #COP30 ends. #Colombia, Pacific #SIDS +other climate-committed countries moving outside COPs is significant.

โ€˜BOONIEโ€™ - as cricketing fans across the globe affectionately know him - is an Australian cricketing legend of the late eighties and early nineties. A right handed run machine opening batsman with lightning reflexes in at short leg, Boonie was never one to take a backward step when the going was tough.
