monkeys in City Park...

Adored watching the antics of these monkeys in Launceston's City Park when I lived in northern Tasmania...
Today, 20 macaques are there...
City Park has a long history of animals - since late 19th century... https://t.co/AwqJvomJTY pic.twitter.com/GV9G1qdEga

memories of 'Ryan's Daughter'...

I was obsessed with 'Ryan's Daughter' (1970) starring Robert Mitchum + Sarah Miles. (My romantic phase.)
Set in the wake of the 1916 Easter Rising, (Irish insurrection against the British), a married woman in a small Irish village has an affair with a troubled British officer. pic.twitter.com/Mtbdeje0ii

white gold...

WHITE GOLD... and it's camel milk...
South Australia's only camel dairy that began with a herd of wild camels...
Camel milk retails for about $20 a litre, and is known for its hypoallergenic properties... https://t.co/Oy75c0eUPm pic.twitter.com/mYlQkF2blY

Colour blind...in the very best, most beautiful way...
The photo was a prologue to 27 May 1967, when Australians voted to change the Constitution so that like all other Australians, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, would be counted as part of the population. https://t.co/lroKZD8Fe0

phone message - severe storm warning...

PASSING THOUGHT: Phone message- Severe storm warning for Dromana 10:25pm tonight...Never have I received a message like this before...https://t.co/M8CUMA0w2m =Gale warning Port Phillip+strong wind warning Western Port. Dromana is between...
Interesting night ahead it seems...

inner rebel...

PASSING THOUGHT: I'm quite convinced that getting older unleashes 'the inner rebel' (that usually hesitated to make itself known)...Lately, I've had a run of speaking out about workplace lack of basic logic + workplace bullying...Feels good to make a difference...
I hope😊🙏😊

price of fame and progress...

PASSING THOUGHT: Vaguely watching 'The Price of Fame' on SBS - 'disconnected' Prince Charles and Princess Diana...But really dwelling on the 'price of progress' in this world...the price rise seems to be an endless serial of nightmares...Time for some musical escapism methinks...

Dan's out-of-lockdown' news...

PASSING THOUGHT: Dan's 'out-of-lockdown' news...I've the strangest sense of hesitant elation+an awareness of fragile strength...Yes...Victorians have slammed this insidious virus...But let's hope we don't develop too much confidence...The wolf is still right outside the door...
