OMG

My first day of retirement from the Department of Education after 40 years of service following a period of leave due to ongoing health issues. Proud of my contribution and achievements, that includes 19 years as a specialist school principal. An immensely challenging but rewarding role.

Always remember Geelong gave 3 first round draft picks for Cameron which I thought was crazy but it helped them win a premiership. Time will tell indeed.

The Suns have done well with their trades. Will be a bigger threat next year.

Clever correlation. Comical stuff up.

Only the lucky country for some.

Just back from a long week-end in Mildura, Victoria's tropical north. Loved learning about the amazing role Fergie tractors played in 1956 during the highest recorded Murray River flood.

Treaty, It's Here. Debate starts in VIC parliament today.
Share and show your support for Australia’s first Treaty 🖤💛❤️

My husband recently restored my 1957 Massie Ferguson tractor I inherited from my dad. Love❤️

Such a sad image. Can't image my boys at that age going down a mine.

What are they talking about???

People seemed to like that earlier shot I posted of the red-rumped parrot about to have a drink at Lake Hattah. So, here's another - with his beak in the water 🙂

Very religious protestants back in the day. She had red hair but we are all a mix of many races, so who knows. A distant grandfather had a Spanish/Portuguese surname though he lived in England. It's all intriguing.

No, UK/English ancestry. Three generations of Theodosia's (her mother & grandmother as well). We didn't like the name as children but now think it's quite sweet.

My grandma was named Theodosia but was called Theo.

My grandma was named Theodosia but was called Theo.

Live only 49km from Melbourne CBD west of Melbourne and can't get NBN. Grr.

Love this

Victorian here, go Storm!

Generally just the home team with a particular song for each player. For the Grandfinal it was both teams.

It's in Australian Football now too after every goal. So loud, annoying and just not needed.

Would have loved to attend the Summit to hear a number of high profile women speak but ticket prices too expensive for the everyday person if not paid by your employer.

Didn't she have a baby before she was married? Oh dear.

Retiring earlier than planned due to ill health (inherited disease) also means less super😔

A bright yellow sunflower with a dark brown center droops over the top of a weathered grey fence, with out-of-focus greenery as a backdrop.

Sunny flower on a rainy day.

Like a bee to a flaming flower
I do love honey bees and bees in general but I’m always on the lookout for new subjects so I neglect these beauties.

A pastel illustration titled “Gentle Reminders” shows six smiling sea creatures, each with a short uplifting message beneath them. Top row (left to right): a pink octopus with the words “You deserve the kindness you give others.”; a blue jellyfish with “Treat your mind, body, and spirit like someone you love.”; and a blue plaid squid with “It’s okay and normal to have off days.” Bottom row (left to right): a pink jellyfish with “There is always something to be grateful for.”; a purple squid with “Forgive yourself for your past mistakes.”; and a pink octopus with “Celebrate your accomplishments big and small.” The background is a soft grey and the credit “@selfcare.recipe” appears at the bottom.

“We are all a little fragile and a little resilient. It’s what makes us beautifully human.” Brené Brown

Be gentle with yourself. 🧡
