step up to the Darumbal language...

What a brilliant, creative way to help our understanding and pronunciation of some aboriginal words...And the steps become a work of art...

An interesting 'beastie' parked near my car in the Dromana Hub carpark today...
I couldn't quite work out what all the 'bits' were for... pic.twitter.com/0i6j7lGlI6

Another interesting 'beastie' parked right in front of my car in the Dromana carpark today...
This one had an employment advertisement on the windshield and a rather artistic reflection of clouds... pic.twitter.com/hO2TMIHWKi

Love this catchy name for an essential gardening service...(parked at Dromana Hub carpark)...
It touches the deeper rhythms of life... pic.twitter.com/xlWAexw8jV

reminder list...

The list could be more impressive if we dot point what he HASN'T done...It could possibly run into several tweets...The 150 word Tweet is simply not enough, even using dot points...

The above data reveals cases impacting my world directly - Frankston(near home) and Casey(work) - both not so good if registering in the high bracket of cases.

the sun is smiling outside...

PASSING THOUGHT: Mondays represent my non-teaching day each week. ( I work a .8 loading these days because I'm getting older 😒) I planned to do some marking, BUT the sun is smiling 😀outside, I'm nearly done with Twitterising and...???????? pic.twitter.com/bOIHaKuszh

earthquake in Mt Martha this morning + Tassie last night...

These earthquake events are getting just a tad too close to home...
Mt Martha is 'just down the road' from Dromana... https://t.co/OhC5mYwOzp

Talking of earthquakes at Mt Martha on the Mornington Peninsula this morning, just found this earthquake news coming from Tasmania...(Swansea+Bicheno are on the east coast)...
Any correlation between this Tasmanian one last night and the Mornington Peninsula one this morning? https://t.co/RjLyHpFcxJ

high heels disappearing?...

PASSING THOUGHT: Stilettos? Where are they? Even in pre-lockdown days, I noticed more and more people wore some form of 'solid' walking shoe - flat-soled. And during lockdown days? I STILL haven't seen one woman in high heels, not even low heels...not one...
Is this a new normal? pic.twitter.com/VbHjE7Khju

Just Do It...

Took a rather fast photo of Dromana walkers yesterday...
(I was keen on capturing those in the street wearing masks...though the guy's mask seemed to have slipped a little...)
Not till I uploaded the photo did I see 'Just Do It' on the woman's leg...
= my 'keep walking' mantra... pic.twitter.com/aJzfq70kLZ
