forsloth...

FORSLOTH - a word with a wonderful 'slow-boat-to-China', 'slow TV' feel...(Sakte-tv [Norwegian for 'Slow-TV'] was named Word of the Year in Norway in 2013)...There's a lot to be said for 'climbing out of yesterday with sticky little feet'... Time to smell the roses... maybe... https://t.co/AHjzHNP4hJ

The Shot...

Never, till 2020, have I looked closely at the cogs grinding our political machine. But 2020 = any old political trusts binned + voices (David Milner) in unexpected places respected. He brings empathetic, commonsense hope to a political wasteland + praise only for deserving ones. https://t.co/7qy0bF2FeT pic.twitter.com/AUWMN0DQWv

front grass tamed into lawn...

My front grass has been tamed into lawn...Even through a smudgy window, it looks wonderful out there... The poor guy has been here an hour already, and still not finished mowing...The back garden grass could easily pass as a healthy crop...I hope the ride-on doesn't break down... pic.twitter.com/twt0xK9TLy

in praise of mowing...

O what a mess!...NO!... It's the most beautiful sight I have seen in a long long time of lockdown...My grass, at last, is getting mowed! I keep running outside to check it's real...It's a grand day... pic.twitter.com/C1rF9W1Cpw

wall of songlines...

This site at Gracevale Station, is an hour outside of Aramac, remote western Queensland.
The almost 9,000 hectares of land was returned to the local Iningai people's custodianship in 2019.
"The wall [200 metres] houses what we call the university teaching wall of our songlines," https://t.co/yqNFZhjs6P pic.twitter.com/LNClDENPKm
