Difficult & Problematic @fladdle.bsky.social · 14hTIL that kangaroos can pause their pregnancy by up to a year if the conditions aren’t right. Did you know this? And gestation is only 3 or 4 weeks! Healesville Sanctuary is terrific. Here’s Bernice, the black-breasted buzzard after using a rock to crack open an emu egg. 020

Difficult & Problematic @fladdle.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I like city skylines, too. My dad, who died 30 years ago, used to like counting how many cranes he could see when we went to the city. This is one from Quarry Hills park, South Morang. 010

Difficult & Problematic @fladdle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I planted early, a risk, I know, but it’s a spot where feral tomatoes sometimes pop up bc they like the conditions there. Anyway, there are a few flowers peeking out and Cup Day is still a couple of weeks away. #Epping3076 030

Difficult & Problematic @fladdle.bsky.social · 25/09/2026No…more that WHEN it’s tomato planting season then it’s ALSO flannel sheet removing season. Here’s a hint: 010

Difficult & Problematic @fladdle.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I just spent a couple of hours passing a needle threaded with knitting cotton through the live stitches, because I don’t trust the provisional cast on (crappy old wool with some unravelling). Now, at least, I can continue knitting & spend useful mental time figuring out what to do with the stitches! 000

Difficult & Problematic @fladdle.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I’ve never heard of this author before, but this book is what I need at the moment. Since we’re in collapse (falling glacier in Nepal anyone? Loss of trust in media, rise of fascism, AI takeover, greater wealth gap, etc.), how do we think / act / live in this reality and maintain sanity? #BookSky 📚💙 0120

Difficult & Problematic @fladdle.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Despite the fact that the main character is not likeable, I enjoyed this book. The setting is SO Melbourne (with a bit of Canberra & LA thrown in) & I honestly forgot that the author is male. It’s funny, with up-to-minute with references that I had to look up and the writing is terrific. #BookSky 📚💙 160
