Connecting moments in my peninsula world, my Australia and beyond...Whatever speaks to my thalassophile soul in these tidal days...
Robin Williams - a legend on-screen and off...

He could ignite a smile, even when we felt down + reach into a part of our soul, that may have been neglected for some time, and breathe new life into it...

NOTE: My favourite film of his must be 'Dead Poets' Society'. I'm a teacher and love poetry. No surprises there.
You just have to laugh wryly at @DaveMilbo's ironic contrast of old and new world realities...The 'image' could symbolise the status of any one of us...

The only bleak alternative is to indulge in a Munch 'Scream' by day and a wolf's howl at the moon by night... https://t.co/2WBzgPnrgT pic.twitter.com/cm58fm3TwK
DOG LIBRARY - The quirky, the weird, the so 'delightfully logical and down-to-earth' puts a big smile into my rather 'ordinary' day...

So many stresses attached to remote learning, and then a delightful little Twitter post like this turns up on my timeline... It all helps to survive these lockdown days...
Hello wall my old friend

I've come to talk with you again...
In response to Victorian lockdown extension for another 7 days from today...
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.

No matter how you say these beautiful Wiradjuri words, they sound like the lilt of magical music...

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

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.
