photo ops...

Never thought that I would be laughing about SM getting a vaccine...Wasn't even going to watch...
But dear old Jane won me...
What a repartee for photo ops...
A winner... https://t.co/L9l00YqvyJ

It is quite possible that Jane was hurt in this skirmish...(fragile bones, maybe arthritic, maybe bruises easily)...
But she still wins...
She reads the room (Scomo) and rides with the tide beautifully...
She's still a winner...

wombats and the Nullarbor...

That's quite a metaphor - lining up a grizzly bear and a bulldozer to describe the wombat dynamo...
May they happily charge forward in the Nullarbor... https://t.co/5Lo9adO3lA pic.twitter.com/3cNZtRmUyn

109 year old role model...

Fantastic role model and legacy...
Alfie works his magic from a retirement home in NSW...for the Phillip Island Penguin Foundation in Victoria...
(He also makes hats for premature babies)
Age is not a barrier but a challenge - to adapt and feel connected to life...
Awesome guy... https://t.co/mKEkjuw0iX

UPDATE: Sadly, Alfie passed away a few years ago - at the age of 110. https://t.co/ApLDdFtFdy
