curry connections?...

🤣S.Morrison connections? #ScottyfromMarketing? 👍Queen Victoria first tasted authentic Indian curry in 1887 when her servant Abdul Karim cooked it for her. She pronounced it to be ‘excellent’. For 13 years till her death, curries were served at luncheon. https://t.co/obWO0f61V4

new Celebrity Letters and Numbers...

Sorry guys too...I've tried a couple of rounds of the new #lettersandnumbers, to give it a fair airing, but somehow the personality mix just doesn't work...Flat appeal even when humour tries to appear...Much prefer all the subtleties+wicked wit of Richard Morecroft's series...

SM's border protection?...

A small attempt at partial translation - If 'double-minded' means 'indecisive', then SM suggests that there is one clear answer to border protection? Which is? Gold standard secret?
O well...I tried...😒😒😒

1921 Tulsa Massacre...

I watched this SBS story with absolute horror...
Quite simply, I had no idea this happened in 1921 right after WWI...

snow in November?...

My soul place has so much character...
It's spring nearly summer, but snow wants a cameo role...
No snow on my Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, but at 8:30am, it's just 8°C...with some fragile, intermittent sunlight... https://t.co/UbFqlum9DU

It was a pretty cold night for #Tasmania. Preliminary data suggests a few Nov minimum temperature records have been broken, and also some late season min temp records too. As for #Hobart, 2.9°C at 5:39 am was the coldest Nov temp since 1953... 68y ago! https://t.co/76eq0GQiga
