once treasured clutter...

PASSING THOUGHT: Knew my addictive storage of re-usable plastic bags would come in handy someday...
And that day is right now...
So much 'once treasured clutter' is finding a new home at the Salvos...
(My car is loaded)...
Must reduce the packing nightmare...
AND so cleansing... pic.twitter.com/oWqFfxGE89

3rd weather post today...

I know, 3 Melbourne weather posts in one day, but this is crazy...
Warm night...temperature climbed to 33°C this morning...only broken with a burst of thunder and rain...
Now, the temperature mid-afternoon is swinging between 21 and 25°C...PLUS ongoing rounds of blustery winds...

When NSW case numbers jump daily from 477 to 529 to 795 to 1347 to 1738 to 2199 to 2482..., you'd think someone in Government would cotton on that they're rapidly escalating 🤔

rising Christmas traffic...

PASSING THOUGHT: Since early hours, the relentless whirr of Mornington Peninsula freeway traffic has been rising...I presume this is Christmas holiday traffic...
I'm going nowhere...I'm vaccinated, but not taking chances...
Suddenly, packing removal boxes is most appealing... pic.twitter.com/2rZnWfZLCs

AAAHHH...The weather gods must take centre stage to spice up the Christmas season...
Not only is there a rising whirr of freeway traffic, but now we have the sounds of looming thunder accompanied by bursts of rain...
For an added bonus, we even have cycling sounds of sirens... pic.twitter.com/kkWVi7OE1q

soul place and soul people...

PASSING THOUGHT: I've lived first in southwest Sydney, then northern Tasmania+Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula.
Tasmania...My soul place...The landscape speaks to me...
Mornington Peninsula/teachers...My soul people...I have connected with people more here than anywhere... pic.twitter.com/h9yEECj7D0
