Over the last several days, the panic buying of toilet paper has started again...as fears of a 2nd wave of covid-19 rise in Victoria. But this ne3ws is current in the U.S. They are still embroiled in a rising 1st wave.*I cannot believe I am reading this. Deep Space Program, a design and product studio in Las Vegas, created TP Finder, a crowd-sourced platform where shoppers can report where they see toilet paper in stock and where they don’t.

toilet paper again...
up late...
— Rob Cairns (@robbiepoet) June 25, 2020I too was up late last night...I smiled when I read this...It was like a telecommunication reminding me that my indoor plants are due for watering...
procrastination kinda...
PASSING THOUGHT: School holidays - reading+writing of course- I'm trying to get some 'I don't-wanna-do-it' pieces in my life organised. I thought that if I did a little each day, it would be relatively painless. A notebook list and tick them off I told myself. Next week perhaps. pic.twitter.com/KOa5fcGaaw— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 26, 2020

'matchboxes'...
Such a colourful melee of 'matchboxes' and all more than 2 storeys high...The little boxes, from this viewpoint, seem to nestle happily together into the steep, rocky slope...Beautiful... https://t.co/L1saZAwQ23— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 26, 2020
One Hundred Great Books in Haiku...
One Hundred Great Books in Haiku (2005) - David Bader
*SOME EXCERPTS*
Remembrance of Things Past - Marcel Proust
Tea-soaked madeleine -
a childhood recalled. I had
brownies like that once
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Single white lass seeks
landed gent for marriage, whist.
No parsons, thank you
The Histories - Herodotus
Go tell the Spartans -
the Persian hordes are fierce and
wear funny slippers
Gulliver's Travels - Jonathan Swift
Thus I was first great,
then small, and much vexed to learn
that size does matter
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
Wild. Strange. A bit damp.
Heathcliff waits for Cathy's ghost.
Women. Always late.
The Call of the Wild - Jack London
Alaskan tundra -
a dog finds his inner wolf.
White snows turn yellow.
Middlemarch - George Eliot
Stifling social roles,
small-town gossip - beware the
eyes of Middlemarch
*MY THOUGHTS*
yesterday's landscapes
jostle for identity
in our tomorrows
medieval worlds
a cathedral symbolised
frail hope and despair
Hardy's countryside
where youthful innocence
damned experience
Shakespeare understood
that tomorrow is a dream
grounded in today

bounty...
PASSING THOUGHT: The countryside, imagined as bulbous arced hills and orbed trees, suggests bounty exists and the harvest to come will add to that bounty...A sense of promise in this beautiful scene... https://t.co/mD7LNz0MY3— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 25, 2020
