aboriginal art on metals and old signs...

(Re-setting the balance after my last rather 'soppy' post, something a little more earthy)...
Not all aboriginal art is painted on wood+bark...
Art from Yolngu artists in North East Arnhem Land is emerging on metal scraps and discarded signs...https://t.co/FK0r9I0AXT

sentimental detour...

PASSING THOUGHT: A little bit of romantic sentimentalism seems to be luring me...
This is a bit 'girly'...(apologies)...
The mood will pass...I'm sure it will...
But I do like it for now...soothing...https://t.co/YRqFSMYrMS

day after the earthquake in Victoria...

On the plus side we haven’t had any aliens invade. 👍

Still feeling a bit wary. Expecting related fault lines to start up a chorus line.

It's a gorgeous day! But nothing would surprise us anymore. Expecting alien landings, sink holes, locusts...

Dog decided to take herself for a swim in the Merri Creek during our run. She had her bath yesterday and is now daring me to bath her again

It feels much calmer but the manbabies have attacked a vaccine clinic at the town hall, they were trying to vaccinate the homeless. A Covid positive man left hospital to attend the riots🤦🏻‍♀️ the media back to their annoying 2020 RW selves! Apart from that a beautiful sunny day!

Perhaps Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP, Jeroen Weimar, Brett Sutton @VictorianCHO and Martin Foley @MartinFoleyMP could give this enterprising team of young teenagers a shout out at the next presser.
They are from MELBOURNE😀
And quietly doing Melbourne proud 🙏

UPDATE: These teenagers have been offered a job at the Burnet Institute

Thanks all - my email is on Burnet website if you ever get bored and/or sick of thermal modelling/restaurant work 😃.

flashback 'happy place'...

Decided I would give my frazzled mind the luxury of a flashback...to one of my many 'happy places' on the Mornington Peninsula...

lockdown dry humour continues...

I have the locusts down for 11am and then the plague of frogs to come through on the change about 4.35pm.

There is a murder of crows in our yard….it’s over 😳😰

Let me sit this one out PLEASE. 🙏🏻 #wallflower

Toads at 2… oh wait they were in the cbd yesterday

The pandemic has brought a lot of self-reflection and personal growth for many of us. I, for instance, have switched from being a cereal guy to a toast guy.

— Bird Michael From Twitt℮r (@wtb_Michael) September 22, 2021

I can't help but feel rocked by Victoria's sudden jump in case numbers today...I think my afternoon nap may just start early...It's all I have left to 'keep a grip'...

when i complained about being bored & wanting some excitement, I just meant a minor political scandal I could obsess over on Twitter for a few days

Not earthquakes, riots & our highest ever day of new cases....

NSW and Alberta...

Alberta, Canada's disturbing news. 81.4% of Albertans aged 12+up have received at least one vaccine dose. A total of 72.8% of eligible Albertans are fully vaccinated. NSW wants to open up at 70%. Last Monday, Alberta=state of emergency.

vaxxed teachers...

I'm a secondary teacher and all teachers I know are double vaxxed (or will have had their 2nd by end of these school holidays)... A few chose the 3month space between AZ doses (as I did) and still will be vaxxed up by school's return...No one argued...It's just what we must do...

honorary knight...

PASSING THOUGHT: Learning to dodge 2021's daggers quite well...Yesterday's rise in Victoria's covid cases +surprise earthquake visitor causing some house structural damage+ongoing anxiety re school...Keep walking...Yes...Practice makes me an honorary knight of the round table...
