In response to Victorian lockdown extension for another 7 days from today... 

a scream...

ALL of the above + even tired of seeing his back turned on other speakers if what they have to say doesn't suit him...esp if the speaker is female. Gross lack of professionalism and basic social etiquette. No respect for POV. If a speaker demonstrates humanity, he trivialises it.

Wiradjuri words...

No matter how you say these beautiful Wiradjuri words, they sound like the lilt of magical music...
And the philosophy behind them = a thought worth tucking away in our everyday pocket... https://t.co/HduDG3iJTy

After my 'broken' day yesterday, these beautiful morning skies over Dromana channelled some peace my way... pic.twitter.com/nJCg5JyLkR

Still reeling from the tragedy that was yesterday...At least I held my little furball in my arms right to the end... 

my horrific day ends with flowers and candles...

PASSING THOUGHT: Today was one of my days when tragedy+problems seemed to be in abundance... almost queued up... But a friend sent me flowers, chocolates+wine...arriving at the end of the day...
So thoughtful and so kind...
I have candles glowing now...My day is softening away...

Ironically, tonight is census night...It seems that I need to take stock of many features in my life now... 

everything is energy...

Everything is energy which has no beginning, and cannot die - including you.

awesome local business service...

Shout out to Main Desire, Mornington. Ordered today at 9:30am. Thought orders over $100 free (but should be over $150). Shortly was emailed=ready for pick-up. Emailed I expected delivery. 3:30pm received delivery+found email=delivering today. Inside a voucher+a handful of sweets.

Clearly was my error. Yet still this local business graciously accommodated me.  

book bollards...

Usually, bollards are fixed features, but the middle 4 of the 14 bollards outside Cambridge University Library are 'interactive' + can be rotated individually. These 4 are inscribed with 2 letters each + together spell EX LIBRIS. Designed by Harry Gray + set up in September 2009. https://t.co/JMsOFRN7CX

all masked up...

Yes...Very proud of my Dromana world on the Mornington Peninsula. Each time I do the supermarket shopping early, I would be hard-pressed to find anyone without a mask...That includes in the supermarket, the carpark, on the drive to+from (even people walking dogs are masked up)...

It was IGA Dromana I was referencing 🤣

I must admit, I know nothing about the rest of the Mornington Peninsula. Most are outside my 5km limit. My comment, as I mentioned, only referenced my ongoing experience in one place - Dromana...and specifically Dromana IGA area...

Tommy Emmanuel...

Tommy Emmanuel is brilliant! Saw him on stage, but my favourite setting was at Picton woolshed, south of Sydney. The venue had an intimate, casual feel...And he played to that atmosphere...often getting amongst the guests demonstrating his skills...https://t.co/aaqkbMFWjL
