Hi Rob, do you know about care@home, their number is 1800973363. Part of TasHealth. My GP office told me to contact them. Once you enrol by phone at care@home they send you out a kit which they use to monitor you remotely for a week or so and they check daily. They can also send out medication.

If they were "good people" who are not racists then why were they so rude to staff in nearby restaurants and bars after the Hobart March? "Biting the hand..." #politas

Hobart was horrible today, quite scary. Not our Salamanca at all.

Two years ago today came the news that Metro was "cutting 150 bus services to improve reliability of service." This was termed the "Temporary Service Adjustment" but curiously is still with us. #politas

I never knew that little street had a name, Pasadene Pl NE. We lived at 650 NE42nd St for 2 years. Mostly the traffic noise from the bridge just blew over us.

Memories of 1974 living in a basement apartment in the U District of Seattle, almost under the Ship Canal bridge, right off the express lane. But we could see this Mountain from outside our door.

Thanks for your reply and info.

I should add that I am a member of a public transport access advisory group, which is supposed to be informed on such issues, but hasn't met for many months and now can't meet because of caretaker mode for several more months. #politas

Whatever happened to the single ticketing system on buses in Tasmania? Wasn't it promised by last Christmas? Caught a Kinetic bus to E Shore location yesterday because it was more useful than Metro. Kinetic doesn't take Greencard but does take a debit card which Metro still don't. #politas

Beautiful Sandy! I'm curious if you took it from the U District somewhere?

Wattle blossom, just flowering in Tasmania. I never know if spring smells like wattle or if wattle smells like spring.

Getting a little tired of Minister Palmer's little homilies too.

Thanks Ingrid. I read this while waiting 50 minutes between 3 and 4pm for a bus, any bus, in Kingston.

Often used to see Mt Rainier "floating" from our apartment near the Ship Canal.

As far as I could see, in the blurry 54 year old black-and-white film, he did look very presentable, in a light shirt and trousers.

Unlucky contrast that the same news item featured Gough Whitlam on the Great Wall.

On the Hobart Council c1994 I was invited to North Hobart Oval for NH vs Clarence, the top sides. TFL wanted Council to spend $12m to expand NH Oval to AFL size. But the Plaister Stand is built too close. Chairman gave me a beer & a pie & that was it.
How to vote. 🗳️ Under the Hare Clark system only you, the voter has the power to direct preferences. So, how do you do that? By numbering every box. Find Group C, vote 1️⃣ Peter George, and then number boxes 2,3,4,5,6,7 Group C, and then continue to number ALL boxes in the order of your preference.

Beautiful. Still miss our Seattle view of Rainier even though it was 50 years ago!

When you come back into Hobart from 8 weeks on the S Ocean, smelling nothing but diesel, I swear you can smell the rainforest on Kunanyi.

Reading it now Andrew, even at 3am. Vivid memories of Prof, up on Field Botany 1981, showing us Pencil Pine, King Billy & "Lax Leaf" all near the string of little tarns.

"Molly" by Rosalie Ham. A prequel to "The Dressmaker" Now I'll have to reread, or re-view, that.

On Day 2 of an extended heatwave warning, I have the misfortune to have boarded a Metro Bus, Blackmans Bay route 408, that is "too old to have airconditioning" according to the driver! Doesn't tell you that on real time bus tracking!
