Ditto.

I’m sorry Robin.
We can’t always help the people we care about.

Horrifying.

Suck shit entitled prick.

I love that the RBA is surprised by an increase in inflation.

Do those board members not buy things?

Can only believe we’re paying them too much if they haven’t noticed the real prices of real things really going up without relief.

Detestable.

I hate this timeline.

This world is so broken.
Gut-wrenching reporting from #4corners

Those numbers are eye-watering.

I receive the BBC Royals newsletter each week, because my life is most exciting.

This week it examines how Andrew raping children affects Andrew.

It’s truly sickening.

Breaking: Deadly strain of bird flu suspected on remote Australian island Suspected bird flu has reached Australia's sub-Antarctic Heard Island, with signs of the deadly H5 avian disease observed in elephant seals.

I’ve been trying to tell myself I was prepared for this.

Yes, too right!
I doubt very much whether management notices or cares.

I enjoy my before and after work bike ride, but they are tiring.
Ouch - 14 hour days! I’d be wrecked after a few of those.

Thanks Piper - cool change came through yesterday.
It’s true - I am exhausted.

I’m getting by.

Inpex has been under-reporting cancer-causing emissions from its Icthys LNG plant in Darwin, as reported this week in The Australian.

The people of Darwin deserve answers, and real action to protect their health.

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT IN AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺46c
46.1 Birdsville
QUEENSLAND HOTTEST OCTOBER DAY EVER

44.8 Bourke
NEW SOUTH WALES HOTTEST OCTOBER DAY EVER

Dozens of records pulverized with extreme margins👇
Australian climatic history rewritten

First in and last to leave, and I have the longest commute of anyone in my team.
Why am I like this?

Here we go again. Another mass fish kill at the Goan (Go-An) waterhole. Duckweed builds up in winter and dies in the heat robbing the fish of oxygen. Once upon a time the natural flows would regularly flush the system, now they are used to grow Cotton instead.😠

36 hours of record heat, winds, storms predicted for south-east Australia From record October heat to dangerous thunderstorms and gale force winds, the next 36 hours could bring extreme weather across south-east Australia.

Just what we need.

Outrageous invasion of privacy is what it is.
Good luck with the move, and the search for something more permanent.

I loved this one too.

Screenshot of Guardian headline, which reads: October heat records could tumble in multiple states as hot weather sweeps east through central Australia Unusually high temperatures in the low to mid 40s to hit parts of NSW, Queensland and SA, the Bureau of Meteorology predicts.

“Unusually high” is the new normal.

Thanks Gaye!
Just about to cook some for lunch.

Identical glass bowls sit upon a blue and white checked tablecloth. One bowl holds snow peas, and the other another variety that infiltrated the snow pea seed packet. I pead everywhere. (The seeds are an organic heirloom variety, so cross pollination may have caused this.).

I pead everywhere.

A pleasure, Piper.
I hope you find many tiny joys to celebrate today.

And some of us are dragonflies and can see the future. 🐉

Mornings, Ian.
