I fished out my first standard notebook from 1991. Up until then I was using what I had. Unfortunaly th 1989-1990 set are now long gone.

I've been using this method of cooking as a replacement for aluminium foil. Wet scrunched up baking paper. It works well with everything I've attempted so far, including baked sweet potato. Now to fund a baking paper that is recycled and recyclable.

A couple of pallet fauna refuges. The top has slices of tree trunk offering partial protection and the bottom uses hessian sacks aa the protection prior to placing wood mulch and soil over the pallet. Eventually, planting will be carried out around and on these mounds.

For all the neophyte environmental consultants, ecologists and biologists, this is a much more realistic #EIA risk management pyramid for your reference. (there is a little more in the alt text).

This is a diagram of an inverse 3/4 risk pyramid. The tip of the pyramid is very small and refers to the use of offsets. To explain further. Generally, in a typical risk pyramid all sections are given equal height. It relays a sense of common shared importance only modified by the tapering of the pyramid to its tip. This particular pyramid places most of the emphasis on avoidance as the most important risk management measure. This is followed by, in even smaller bands, minimise, reduce and mitigate, and with the aforementioned tiny reference to offsets. As we go from avoidance to offsets on this pyramid we also find the qualities of these risk management options also decrease. To the left, I have declared the 3 more important aspects of risk management which decrease as we move from Avoidance to Offsets. These being, Preference (Avoidance is always preferred), Scientific Rigour (as we travel into offsets, there is less science and more speculation and convenience), and Ecological viability (impacts will threaten the ecological viability of any receiving environment, with offsets having no measurable value in maintaining ecological viability).

Gnamma hole on top of Mt Melville. This is 1 of many, and most constructed with this tear drop shape. They are dug into the granite to collect water for use by the local Indigenous groups (pre invasion).

Without a chin we would never have "The Thinker".

An image of Augusta Rodin's famous statue, the Thinker. It depicts a man sitting on a rock leaning forward with his chin resting on his hand in deep thought - hence without a chin, this statue could never be possible.

Here is a quote from the early 20teens that befits the climate in which we find ourselves:

This is meme featuring a quote from Hajo Meyer, a polymath and Auschwitz Survivor who saw the dangers of Zionism very early. This is from an interview taken in 2010-11 and it should be taken in the context of a bigger discussion in that interview on Zionism: "Formerly an anti-Semite was somebody who hated Jews because they were Jews and had a Jewish soul. But nowadays an anti-Semite is somebody who is hated by Jews."

Again, the advantage of not eating lunch because you're too busy cooking. Zucchini and mint pasta.

Eddy Cannella @eddyc.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

I begin work next week and was thinking of lunches. I'm not a fan of junk food, so I thought I would make myself some Caponata. It's difficult dish to explain to non-Italians, but believe me it is delicious and so very colourful. I would recommend looking up 1 of the million variations of this dish.

Caponata being made. The olives, capers, celery are being added to cooke tomatoes, onions, and zucchini (which is not a traditional ingredient, but I like it). Once this cooks down a lottle, red wine vinegar and sugar is added and stirred in, followed by the cubed eggplants which have been fried off earlier.

It reminds me most of the words of Hajo Meyer as depicted in this meme. This is taken from an interview in 2010 (he passed away in 2014) and it is as relevant today as it was 15 years ago.

A quote from Hajo Meyer, a polymath, physicist and Auschwitz survivor:

"The Israeli government exploits the Holocaust to justify the unjustifiable: the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. It is an insult to the memory of the victims of Auschwitz. Zionism today is not Judaism. Zionism represents a betrayal of the universal values that Judaism stands for."

As someone who wanted his archaeologist stripes at one time, this makes me laugh.

Cartoon with a stick man standing in front of a screen showing a stone arrowhead on the left and a copper arrowhead on the right. He states "In the process of analyzing paleolithic stone tool making, I've stumbled on an improved technique for producing points and blades. Instead of stone, my method is based on the heating and shaping of copper ore."

Below the cartoon, the caption reads "Too late, I realized that my entire archaeology dissertation had been based on a colossal misunderstanding."

Bit of a bummer for the SW. Seems a lot of careless people - all fires so far either begun by humans either accidentally or deliberately.

Western Australian Emergency map for the afternoon of 30 December 2025, showing 6 bushfires in the south west of the State, all of which were lit deliberately or accidentally by humans. Currently we are talking a few thousand hectares, although two are still raging. There are other fires burning further south and north (Western Australia is a very large State - 2,527,013 square kilometres, and all fire prone.

Bugger. One of my favourite National Parks is under threat from a bushfire. It seems to always coincide with the tourist/holiday seasons. This is a globally recognised biodiversity hotspot. Unfortunately, bushfire is common during holiday/tourist seasons.

This is the subtle, but clear difference between reporting of rapes in this country. The Age headline is focused on the victim and her response when confronting her attacker. The West Australian/The Nightly instead just wants to emphasise the attacker is "suicidal". Oh and the victim broke down.

A headline from The Age newspaper which focuses on the victim: "Tom Silvagni, you raped me: Victim says she will carry trauma for the rest of her life"

A corresponding headline in a conservative media platform, The West Australian and the Nightly (owned by the same people). The headline reads: "Rape victim breaks down as she confronts suicidal Tom Silvagni". This headline emphasises the state of the attacker more so than the victim and is typical of the manosphere misogyny that grips these cesspits of fragile male egos.

You've got to love that first response to the meme.

This is a meme posted on facebook showing a jellyfish with the words "The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people".

The first response to the post says "Oh god, the MAGA cult may last longer than I thought".

This is the Esperance region. An overworked, high input, massive area of monoculture resulting from intensive industrialised farming. In one of the most biodiverse areas in Oz, whatever remnant native bush is held in conservation parks. Poor agricultural land management is the problem.

A google map screen shot of the Esperance regions showing the massive levels of clearing replaced with monoculture crops, which have resulted in fires spreading through the region at very high speed. The problem is poor land management.

I've always found it difficult to accept gifts for just doing what I enjoy. I thank South Coast NRM for allowing me to assist in their Western Ringtail Possum monitoring. It's always a blast. This sp is being impacted by habitat loss, invasive sp, climate change, disease, loss of genetic variation.

I was given a gift of a box of sweets, a free coffee card and a thank you note for volunteering in SCNRM western ringtail possum.

What do you think? It's at least another 7 days before I can wax and buff the top. I'm playing with the idea of staining the chairs in a similar jarrah-like tone.

The almost finalised dining table. It consists of three concentric octagonal shapes of around 1cm width and painted ,from the outside in, saffron red, burnt orange, and celestial blue colours. The center is a pale yellow circle with a golden teak pentagonal, which will be picked out in gold outline.

Dining table progress. Still lots of shapes, fill in colours, and designs to go.

The beginnings of hand painting a mandala on my new dining table top.

The underside is done, flip, mask, begin with the outer most colour of the mandala table top. The centre of the table will hold a hand painted mandala design, showing off all its imperfections.

3 photos of my octagonal table top as it's being constructed and finished. The bottom photo shows the finished underside of the table after 10 coats of clear satin finish. The two photos above it, show an octagonal central area masked off, ready for the outer border to take on jarrah wood stain (photo at top left).

Now comes the tricky part of drawing on the regular octagon, masking and cutting. I think I sweated bullets in the cutting phase, but go a very nice result. Now to think about what sort of design to put on the table top (I did think veneer inlay, but I think I need lots of practice before then).

It's coming along. Some of the cuts and chips are too deep to sand out, but they add character (🤣). Needs to dry out and then get some food safe oil into it.

This is gaslighting. The bridge was closed by the police as part of their crowd management of the march. The marchers did not block the bridge, in the same way children in Gaza do not run in front of bullets to get a sympathy headline.

Misleading headline from The Age newspaper posted on Facebook claiming "Thousands of pro-Palestine protesters to block Melbourne bridge". The bridge was blocked by the police to stop protesters, not the other way round.

I'm always in awe of the cucina povera of the Mediterranean. With 4 ingredients (tomatoes, capers, mint, small clove of garlic), voila, salsa con caperi e mente. It comes from the SE of Sicily. The best pasta match is something short (e.g. casarecce). Wine is never optional. 10/10 min prep/cooking.
