Today was an especially rainy day.

I felt it murmuring on my hair during a scurrying essay from building to car.
I heard it thrum upon the tin roof, like a ship's engine.
It was emphatic, tense, part of a great story of sea and sky.
Today was an especially rainy day.
Connecting moments in my peninsula world, my Australia and beyond...Whatever speaks to my thalassophile soul in these tidal days...

a ruined tweet = great news...
August 2 - DM's original tweet:
— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) October 26, 2020
11am = not terrible
After 12pm = bad
Wearing a suit = real bad news
Sports jacket = moderately bad news
Northface jumper = it's the weekend
Wearing a suit on the weekend after 12pm = shit's fucked
***And this ruined tweet = brilliant news https://t.co/IOQqs9Ugv7
He’s seen it, for sure. It’s a deliberate response to YOU. Doubly doubly sure

Covid normal is just beginning...
PASSING THOUGHT: The excitement of the day...for Victorians anyways...is cooling down for me...Now I think about it, I still will avoid shopping malls, keep to small shopping areas and just walk the less travelled byways...I daren't react too quickly... It's still Covid normal...

a toast...
And notice Dan has selected a Melbourne whisky... Here's a premier who does not celebrate politics or self, but those who walked the walk with him... It's definitely a great Donut Day for Melburnians, for Victorians... https://t.co/XgP1eTLyup

Melbourne's fantastic news...
This on the back of the outbreak and the massive testing blitz... can't wait to hear Morrison's praise and congratulations today. Oh no wait, I meant can't wait to hear Hunt talk about how our contact tracing isn't up to par with NSW while Morrison goes to Bunnings.

very first question to Daniel Andrews at his presser, after announcing easing of VIC restrictions: "is what you're saying, that we can finally get back on the beers?"
— Josh Butler (@JoshButler) October 26, 2020
Andrews: "I don't know that I'll be drinking a beer tonight. I might go a little higher up the shelf." #auspol pic.twitter.com/8z8scPrcr4
+ many noted that Dan wore a North Face jacket - on a Monday. That was inspiring.
Said I'd go a little higher up the shelf. Here's to you, Victoria. pic.twitter.com/JbsbmUxmoZ
— Dan Andrews (@DanielAndrewsMP) October 26, 2020
AND NOTE, Dan has selected a Melbourne whisky...Love how Melbourne's crazy weather plays a vital part in the production of this whisky...

Victorians naming today donut day is the most truly beautiful Australian things i have seen in years.
— DomoFacetious (@FacetiousDomo) October 26, 2020
This shows the true Australian spirit, not pissing and moaning about being oppressed.
Take one for the team and get on with things with a smile and laugh.
Look what I just arrived home to. Well done Victoria. What an amazing State we live in and what an amazing achievement by all. Thank you. 🍩🍺 pic.twitter.com/Kv3vPKwiF5

NOTE the subtle addition of a donut to Brett Sutton's profile name...Good one...
+ 8th November, intrastate restrictions on Melbourne lifted...

beauty of the jacaranda...
If you seek the meaning of life, the purpose of life, here it is in its natural, free to all glory...All Mother Nature asks in return is to be valued, appreciated, protected...And therein lies our purpose, our meaning... https://t.co/HFUJeq6JAK

The urge to swear is rather close to the surface, today... But this word provides a rather neat suspension bridge between 'being polite' and a more explosive expletive...Now...Who fits this bill...politician#1, politician#2, politician#3, policitian#4, etc... https://t.co/66W70inyCk

Mother Nature offers survival...
Melbournians are simply so appreciative of Nature's outdoors...no matter the weather... All part of the survival kit... https://t.co/7sB6bzykIw

a walk with Nature...
So I went for another walk in Plenty Gorge Park today. I’d only intended to be there for a couple of hours but I got carried away and ended up walking along Plenty River from Middle Gorge Station on the Mernda Line to Greensborough Station on the Hurstbridge Line - about 5 hours.

Anyway enough of the preamble, let’s have some photos! Here’s Blue Lake, living up to its name. Blue Lake and Yellow Gums Picnic Ground we’re busier than I’d ever seen them - loads of people. pic.twitter.com/6LxwwzlnyX
