long-lost positive words...

Thank you Susie Dent...
“Respair” has just one record next to it in the Oxford English Dictionary, from 1525, but its definition is sublime.
Respair is fresh hope; a recovery from despair.
May 2022 finally be its moment.
Long-lost positive words... https://t.co/yKMFFWjltO

new political world in Australia 2022?...

So refreshing to see a federal leader making an effort to demonstrate understanding of peoples' (perhaps less than 'ideal') lives...Empathy is there...
You give us hope, Albo, that you could not only guide but support all Australians...
Give us hope+we will return the favour...

procrastination lurks today...

PASSING THOUGHT: Procrastination lurks today...Totally stuffed after yesterday's rendezvous with packing boxes...
Maybe this afternoon I'll play catch-up after any other distraction may demand my attention...
Scrolling Twitter?...
Maybe tomorrow I'll do double packing duty...

PASSING THOUGHT: Think I've cheated...
So I can say I contributed something to my 2022 move today, I have just hastily filled a bag of 'stuff' to go to Salvos (At least it was a very large bag)...
Does that count?
I haven't procrastinated?
Aaah...The guilt will set in tomorrow...

Tim's cricket...

#Ashes2021

and the way I can hear the trumpet, the murmur of the crowd, the tap of the bat against the turf...
and there they are in the soft Melbourne sunshine...

the cricket is on again

#Ashes2021 #ashes

and the batter scratches the mark of his middle stump into the wicket

he pauses a moment and looks around the field...

and there he sees the grass and sky and feels the vibrations of the day

he taps his bat and is ready to play...

Love how your thoughts seamlessly synchronise parallel worlds...
Behind the outer sport action is a personal
inner spirit...dancing to some private music...
Art within art...
Refreshing and beautiful...

I feel the same way about tennis. That Field of Dreams nexus where you recall your childhood dreams, and experience the joy of body and mind in concert.

Wordle begins...

Wordle 191 1/6

PASSING THOUGHT: Can't seem to share my Wordle result on Twitter via laptop...
Can't see Twitter option on the laptop...
Grrrrrrr....

Circumstance, state of mind + luck gave me this result. Thinking: 'Will I take a last trip on the Queenscliff ferry before 2022 move to the Riverina?' (The ferry is not far from me.)
Originally typed 'ferny', wondering about the double 'r'. Acceptable?
Took a risk and voila!

bush school...

Urandangi State School only has 3 kindy students. They're triplets – and the principal is their dad.
That means a total of 12 students attend the school...
Urandangi is 187 kilometres south-west of Mount Isa, on the Queensland-Northern Territory border. https://t.co/saiVAq7koS
