Connecting moments in my peninsula world, my Australia and beyond...Whatever speaks to my thalassophile soul in these tidal days...
Lockdown will not end this Thursday 19th August, but extended to 11:59pm Thursday 2nd September, 2021...
On the advice of the Chief Health Officer, we will introduce additional measures to stop the spread of coronavirus in Victoria. pic.twitter.com/iCo6gzKFEs

A colourful little street in the rain has a particular charm - enhanced by 'sans vehicles' + people clearly strolling - no pressurised haste.

The bonus is it's a street that has marched through time...lots of time...
May we all summon such beautiful resilience... https://t.co/E0BdUccMh5
PASSING THOUGHT: Many feel that pandemic-fueled lockdowns spike our freedoms. Some feel that translates as 'no freedom'. But it's the perspective of 'our space' that's been clipped, not our freedom. Kabul's Taliban-threatened residents have no personal space. That's no freedom. https://t.co/jdwHmFCq2g

I have been seeking hope today, and this tweet about Jeroen Weimar certainly helps...a lot...

This is beyond leadership...He is demonstrating the skills of being an empathetic mentor, a guiding light... https://t.co/480rGnGZiM
Brilliant role model of a form of tautology validating a form of platitude...or a form of platitude validating a form of tautology...whichever sparks your fancy...

I like the suggested hashtag of 'scomoisms'...I'll be running with that at any/every opportunity...
Just discovered the hashtag #scomoisms. I'll definitely be running with #scomoisms in future posts...There should be quite a museum-worthy list evolving of #scomoisms...

I think we should start that trending.

PASSING THOUGHT: Not motivated to do supermarket shopping that should have been done yesterday. Trying to find+activate some hope beyond lockdown seems somehow more important. But the milk dregs are 'smirking' at me. The little left may not give me a morning coffee tomorrow. 🙄

Just love David Milner's 'turn of phrase'...Always nails the mood, the climate + kickstarts a smile...
Anyone got any exciting plans for between this lockdown and the next one? I was thinking about going outside.

Amazing how long ago the warnings were already there...

Consumption and climate are uneasy bedfellows... https://t.co/QwESPscd1n
I am close to being a 'retired teacher', but covid has thrown any plans into chaos. I must hang in there with a lighter load locked in place for next year. I feel so sorry for what is happening to you + hope I don't have the same issues. We try so hard to improve student lives...

These stunning flowers radiate light and beauty...
— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) August 14, 2021
The world cannot drink in enough of that light and beauty right now...
These stunning stones from Somalia's Madagascar beach could easily be inspiring works of art...

Ahem... They are inspiring works of art... https://t.co/HNa1UlfZ54
