Chook hatching... puppies? in the Midlands, Tasmania.

Clucky mum laid her egg in the back of the dog's kennel, but Inky the kelpie (and mum to be) ate it. When her puppies came along, the hen got right to work nesting on them! She's since been named Nanny.https://t.co/RNW3siy7mU pic.twitter.com/JwkMef9E2x

covid-19 vaccinations at chemist?...
Perhaps chemist vaccinations sound like a great idea - reach as many as possible in shortest time BUT

1. Appointments or walk-in + walk-out?
2. Chemists liable for patient reactions?
3. Strictly for local areas?
4. Record? Forwarded to own GP?
5. Restrictions? Elderly to GP only? https://t.co/XTydzEQ2ac

emotive street photography...
So love this emotive street photography by Pepijn Thijsse.

Pepijn was born in the Netherlands, but raised in Australia + now lives in Brisbane.
This street scene - ''Hot and Cold' - was captured in a tiny hamlet in Germany. https://t.co/Q6L7TR7J0B

Sea slugs really need a more creative, artistic name tag...
They are skilful+can turn compounds from food sources into chemical defences, so they don’t need a shell when they are adults.https://t.co/PfMwIoFB10 https://t.co/5asQS8aHWd

Can you think of a poem that creeps into your mind on a regular basis, one that you love and won't leave you?

Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

Murray Blyth of Geraldton, WA, and his wife Glenda ask local farmers for their old baling twine. Murray then weaves hats, bags + bowls + more.
A hat takes him about 12 hours, using 12 metres of seven-strand plait per hat!https://t.co/jqcaGklWzL pic.twitter.com/rpiGxgBWpQ
