Over the last several days, the panic buying of toilet paper has started again...as fears of a 2nd wave of covid-19 rise in Victoria. But this ne3ws is current in the U.S. They are still embroiled in a rising 1st wave.*I cannot believe I am reading this. Deep Space Program, a design and product studio in Las Vegas, created TP Finder, a crowd-sourced platform where shoppers can report where they see toilet paper in stock and where they don’t.

— Rob Cairns (@robbiepoet) June 25, 2020I too was up late last night...I smiled when I read this...It was like a telecommunication reminding me that my indoor plants are due for watering...
procrastination kinda...
PASSING THOUGHT: School holidays - reading+writing of course- I'm trying to get some 'I don't-wanna-do-it' pieces in my life organised. I thought that if I did a little each day, it would be relatively painless. A notebook list and tick them off I told myself. Next week perhaps. pic.twitter.com/KOa5fcGaaw— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 26, 2020

'matchboxes'...
Such a colourful melee of 'matchboxes' and all more than 2 storeys high...The little boxes, from this viewpoint, seem to nestle happily together into the steep, rocky slope...Beautiful... https://t.co/L1saZAwQ23— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 26, 2020
One Hundred Great Books in Haiku...
One Hundred Great Books in Haiku (2005) - David Bader
*SOME EXCERPTS*
Remembrance of Things Past - Marcel Proust
Tea-soaked madeleine -
a childhood recalled. I had
brownies like that once
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Single white lass seeks
landed gent for marriage, whist.
No parsons, thank you
The Histories - Herodotus
Go tell the Spartans -
the Persian hordes are fierce and
wear funny slippers
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift
Thus I was first great,
then small, and much vexed to learn
that size does matter
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Wild. Strange. A bit damp.
Heathcliff waits for Cathy's ghost.
Women. Always late.
The Call of the Wild - Jack London
Alaskan tundra -
a dog finds his inner wolf.
White snows turn yellow.
Middlemarch - George Eliot
Stifling social roles,
small-town gossip - beware the
eyes of Middlemarch
*MY THOUGHTS*
yesterday's landscapes
jostle for identity
in our tomorrows
medieval worlds
a cathedral symbolised
frail hope and despair
Hardy's countryside
where youthful innocence
damned experience
Shakespeare understood
that tomorrow is a dream
grounded in today
