The same, she invited me to her last Space and I had other crap going on as well as my symptoms and I’d shut down and now I feel so bad that I wasn’t there with her to laugh with her at least one more time. I just miss her so much and am scared for all of us.

Bridget was part of a circle of friends that interacted on Twitter for over a year. We all became really close, meeting up in Spaces daily, inboxes. Her passing has broken us, we all miss her so very much and I can’t believe she’s gone, I just can’t. I keep looking if she’ll see my last message. πŸ’”πŸ˜­

It’s the Community and Spaces that drove me back there. I hate it for exactly that reason and more. Everyone is pretty much waiting for a Spaces type feature to be developed.

Miss you heaps on X, it’s still toxic, but seems to be suffering from a possible DOS attack these last few hours.

Musk can’t even protect his app from crashing and this is the saviour? Mr Doge? America is entrusting the lives of their astronauts to this bozo when every second or third rocket blows to smithereens?

On the way back we drove through a mob of about 20 kangaroos and further on encountered the wild horses, (brumbies) that ran alongside the car for a while. We also saw cows.

We stayed there for about two hours, swimming and interacting with some indigenous friends who were cooking a kangaroo the traditional way.

We began by driving through the opal fields to get to a waterhole or billabong in the deep Outback.

The other night I took the FUNCAP 55 functional capacity questionnaire and it threw up some extremely low scores, placing in the severe, very severe category even though I’m still fairly ambulatory. So when my friend this morning called and asked if I wanted adventure, I balked and begged off…

Blair Cottrell blocked me, my comment cut deep. It was the last thing this NAZI did before his account was suspended or deleted by xTwitter. So I created a meme in their honour.

Goodbye darkness, my old friend
I'll sleep in you, one day again

I think my circadian rhythm thinks I’m in MalmΓΆ, Sweden. For weeks now I have t been able to sleep before 7am in the morning. I’ve entered batty territory.

NASA’s FIRMS distributes near real time data on fires globally from infrared satellite images with just a 3 hour delay.

This map gives a sense of the scale of the Grampians fires:
