It's a bit crazy I know-( esp in the light of current things happening domestically. ie NeoNazis having a bit of a go), but I am actually getting an appreciation for Australia, as an independent, democratic, isolated nation. A much better appreciation.

As we look forward to handing over the dog minding responsibilities this week, I have yet to figure out when to feed them breakfast & when not to. My kelpie is getting really fat because she has no idea how much food is too much food. The big dog gets a bit meh ๐ about food sometimes.

I like that ppl on a local FB group have engaged in reasonable discussion, educating the mono-cultured idiots who insist on blaming immigration solely on the housing crisis- It's ALSO the greed & kickbacks of mega-rich developers, poor planning, rich investors, unfair tax advantages.

In TikTok ppl are saying to stop mass immigration. Maybe they should have stopped it in 1788. Just saying.

In a family that feel they 'must be active' at all times, it's a default position for me when we're all together- on a good day I might keep up- But rtn now it's a case of 'How about I keep the couch company'.

When you go into a shop and the person behind the counter seems a little slow, a little bit befuddled, maybe new at the gameโฆ Standing there twitching and doing kind of passive-aggressive things is not helpful.

You think I'd know better than to try & play wordgames- when I'm so tired I can't even think of the word 'Pomegranate'?
