Ahhh that makes sense. My supposed "winter" ones almost all died off when I planted them, but one has just decided to start growing. It's 30cm tall and no flowers yet, I figure it'll just blend in with my summer seeds that I've just started.

They seem more mad that people piss in the public toilet now instead of peeing in entry to the fire escape and the building 🤷🤷🤷 I will never understand that group of people in the association. They made living there really unpleasant.

I’m just glad they didn’t message the irritating residents association that was part of our building when we lived there they’re furious about the development and replacing public car parks shared car spots and taxi stands, creating pedestrian malls and public toilets.

I’m so twitchy tonight because one of the family holiday houses that likes to have big parties is chocka with people and loud music today and I am just waiting for them to want to finish off their fireworks. They’re the only ones that do it around here as far as I can tell.

Signs. I wasn’t allowed to watch it and we were meant to be in bed, but we snuck in while the older kids were watching and saw it from behind the couch. Fucked me up. Still don’t like corn fields.

Genuinely having a little cry. What a force of good in the world she was. I knew this day would come but I don’t think I’d ever be ready for it. There aren’t many celebrities I properly grieve but oh boy is she one.

But I like the idea of a one stop shop for “these are the things we need to know about, when the deadlines are coming, and here are some people with strong well articulated opinions you can read up on”

The followed the linked sources to the govt pages on the bills, and the articles different orgs had posted. Then I read those, and wrote my own submission. If I were the author of something similar, I wouldn’t have created a way for people to generate submissions.

So I didn’t use a single word from that website in my submissions. But I used that website to see all the bills that people had strong opinions about cuz there were heaps I didn’t know were coming.

I sing a variant of this song to Gus nearly every day. Are you a dooooog or are you a Muppet? (No one knows) ((Great movie))
Large shaggy black dog (Muppet??) Gus walking through a creek at the beach. His tail is held jauntily above his back and he waddles over.

Did you know Gus has an exceptionally good sniffer?! We had a successful trial last week - 4/4 searches each found in under one minute. They had a professional photographer and I’m chuffed. Check out his tail wag when he’s on odour 💖🥹
A large black dog walking alongside a line of 20L white buckets with lids on. He’s sniffing the edge of a bucket Black dog Gus standing perpendicular to one of the white buckets in the line. His nose is hovering over the top and his tail is loose wagging over his back. Same pose but Gus has lifted his head a bit to look at me. His tail is still wagging. Gus walking away from the camera towards me - white, pale pink hair and glasses. I’m leaning over and chucking Gus under the chin and grinning at him. He’s getting lots of praise. His tail is held high.

They come and nip the entire flower off our native pururi tree to get to the nectar. All the native birds sip from the flower but the damn rosella will rip 20 flowers off the tree instead. It’s so upsetting watching it.
