'An Artist of the Floating World'...

Love this p.180 quote - “Sensei, it is my belief that in such troubled times as these, artists must learn to value something more tangible than those pleasurable things that disappear with the morning light." https://t.co/TDOil9u3Rs pic.twitter.com/DaAP6p1hZK

move along crocodile...with love...

Move along crocodile...with love! 5 metre, 800kg crocodile-Krakatoa, moved safely to Billabong Sanctuary, Townsville. Soulmate Madonna went too. Because of previous lovesickness - Krakatoa is said to have gone 8 months sans food after 1st partner died! https://t.co/n4ymJ4gtsM

connecting languages and cultures...

What a grand idea to keep all language alive by connecting cultures via words and thereby enhancing appreciative understanding... https://t.co/wi7o6nSkxu

fireman's spiral...

I always thought that the fireman's spiral was for shimmying down fast (via the rails) when called out to a fire. An interesting one... https://t.co/SHhr3PXANG

100 year old prophecy?...

100 year old prophecy? Artist? But an answer is elusive. All I could find was: 'At the end of the 19th century, postcards drawn by various European artists predicting scenes from the future were hidden inside cigarette packs and chocolate boxes.' https://t.co/IZtlq4X8Ai https://t.co/j65JoRQ5QO

lone worker's yellow helmet...

I think this is good news... People working...construction happening...no grey storm clouds and not too cold... But I am more drawn to the image's foreground - lone worker's yellow helmet, on the 'ground', meditating in some dreamland... https://t.co/QrffBr64e2

helicopter influx?...

Helicopters...There seems to be a significant influx of helicopters trolling my Mornington Peninsula lately...More than a little unsettling...(Image taken moments ago)...Yet I thought the drones and helicopters were not to be out and about till this weekend's AFL grand final... pic.twitter.com/rxcHZwLknu

old Martin Place?...

Even though it's a number of years since I was last in Sydney, I am quite sure that this is Martin Place...The building on the right - I remember crossing the road in all its sombre dignity...The left I barely recognise...

slow post...

Somehow, this version of 'slow post' looks so romantic. A few weeks ago, received notification that Australia Post would be delivering only twice a week...I am quite certain that claim has been bent to once a week...at best...Mail from a few km away takes days to be delivered... https://t.co/of6r31dbuN
