Sunday night
a strange place
between
favourite music and
new sounds #tanka

pobblebonk...

I've now discovered my favourite word for the day - 'pobblebonk'. The sound I have heard before, but never knew the source...I am quite sure that the pobblebonk would fit right in comfortably with Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky'...with one difference...This critter is reality... https://t.co/eTTRl41M1J

inner landscapes
clouds dream
on glassy seas and
seagulls sleep
in harmony #tanka https://t.co/rPjmyjqSol

dark fears of unknowns
relentlessly investigate
the scope of your databank

rabbit fences...

So Australia had the rabbit-proof fence, symbolizing the division between English culture and the Aboriginal world (film 2002) but is indeed a long fence to deter rabbits from crops + pasture in WA . Berlin had the real division between East and West, but rabbits were welcome. https://t.co/h1kDVeu3zM pic.twitter.com/4z0S4cuU1z

drenching at Broken Hill...

Never did rushing water and mud look so gloriously ochre-red together... The blue sky seems to be a smiling observer...
+ Broken Hill cops a drenching with half of all last year's rainfall falling in just 20 minutes https://t.co/pL1s1SjDlt https://t.co/94E4CLxzYv

past Sunday rituals...

Some Sunday rituals may not be practised any more, but many remember with nostalgic respect+maybe a twinge of loss...the morning church service, the Sunday roast for lunch (cooked by a Mum), the afternoon lazing usu. reading+in my case, the boiled egg+vegemite on toast for tea... https://t.co/PEHkLtGnnX

Stockholm’s archipelago is the largest group of islands in Sweden and the second-largest in the Baltic Sea.

Twice a year, the Stockholm Library Service rents a boat for a week and brings books to 23 inhabited islands. Each spring and fall, the boat is packed with approximately 3,000 books. 

Sweden’s book boat (bokbåten) began serving the community in 1953.

magic solution?...

Is this a magic solution for freshening up the troubled Murray-Darling River system? Or does the solution generate more problems? Predators of freshwater turtles increase in number when food source increases? https://t.co/cXftR5QQbX pic.twitter.com/Gw3WWQ2lj1

Not all industry needs to be in a big city... Bed linen, tableware and bags are emerging from remote Arnhem Land... https://t.co/3q3Dz4iZIy pic.twitter.com/aLnfr6OnWT
