chocolate for lockdowns...

PASSING THOUGHT: There's one good thing about lockdowns. I've a good reason to 'up' my chocolate stash for sanity. The best medicine. Don't argue the regular healthy diet rules. Chocolate's the diet for lockdowns.
+ World Chocolate Day 2021=July 7.
I'm still celebrating... pic.twitter.com/a9EMU1DMuB

house plan dialogue...

On daughter's house plan...
Son: What sort of building material on the outside? Brick, weatherboard, stone...
Daughter: Outside's cladded. It's lineaboard, a mixture of concrete+fibre which isn't so attractive to termites.
Son: Yes, gets stuck in their teeth. Most inconvenient.

Melbourne and Sydney Harbour Bridge...

Adore this very weird fact...
Lived in Sydney for a large chunk of my early life+had no idea of this Melbourne connection...
Now I'm in Melbourne,+feel Melburnian, I'm feeling rather chuffed with this news...
Great pick-me-up after the snap lockdown news...
Melbourne has value... https://t.co/E4Vbz0aoal

adjust routine...

PASSING THOUGHT: So so pleased I have stuck to my routine of avoiding crowds at all costs for 2 years now...including supermarket shopping...(I choose less popular times to shop)...Adjusting routine and making it a norm over time is far less painful if life itself is the gain... pic.twitter.com/erR6F25Dfr

ducks and signs...

It's good to see that street signs have a multi-purpose...
The addition of real ducks draws more attention to the signs... https://t.co/wACfTuYBsm

take the pressure down...

There has to be a little light humour to relieve the pressure of even the grimmest, most serious of circumstances...
Love this one... https://t.co/bNErBM20Pa

message from the Universe?...

A message from the Universe to me in a passing moment of 'why's'?...My partner had a rather 'scrambled' mind...unpredictable at times...But always I felt his love for me was deep down somewhere in his heart...I had to stand by him right to the end... He had no one else... https://t.co/I5NUYEB6Md

One day you'll realise why everything worked out the way it did. The universe and your higher self were protecting you, guiding you and redirecting you to where you were always meant to be. Trust the process of your life, relax & enjoy the journey - all in perfect divine timing.

Min Min lights...

In the Kimberley, Western Australia, some Aboriginal people believe the Min Min lights are spirits of elders.
In 2015, Jub Clerc directed a short film called 'Min Min Light' based upon her own Pilbara experiences.
