Sceptical optimist. Organised gypsy. Suffering vertigo from rolling my eyes at the world right now. Things that rock my world are the simple things- family, friends, travel, gardening, animals, photography, cooking, history and a good laugh.

The only time I’m not fond of waffles is when it’s in a meeting. #hurryup

It’s clear the tech generation can no longer do basic maths.
As proof I offer the battery countdown on my phone, which goes straight from 68% to 3%.

Another thing I’ve done now, due to the new manager, is create an email folder for staff resignations.
This is possibly related to the other thing, which is to be more comfortable calling someone a c*nt

I’m deep within the vortex but also seriously annoyed by the bugs in the latest updates.
I’m happy with spotify for my music these days and tempted to entirely delete the music app from my phone

After having been faithful to #apple for well over two decades, I am seriously questioning my life choices.
Tell me, is there life after #apple?

Even more perplexing is that when I downloaded them so I could free that space up there were 1100 to download #wtfapple

I don’t think I’ve ever been without a pet for a year - I’m sure we will eventually find another

I’m sure we’ll find another in a few years. I’ll have to make do pet-sitting for my kids in the meantime 🐢🐱🐠

For the first time in about 35 years we don’t have a pet.
Such a strange feeling.

Pretty as a picture. Golden canola wedged between fields of green.
I love the colours of Australia.

I just returned a mouldy cake to the supermarket and purchased some blue vein cheese in its place.
The irony is just setting in.

Sometimes I wish I had to power to vaporise.

Imagine as you will, but it’s rather lucky I don’t.

Bluesky’s cruelest behaviour is two part torture.

The most interesting post you’ve ever started to read becomes the one that disappears before you can finish reading it.

The kicker is that you can’t even be sure who posted it to find it again.

It’s a talent to be able to filter voices into the background.
One that I’m working on very intently.
Any tips?
