Greybeard @greybeard.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Of course the RBA will keep raising interest rates. A bit more poverty, a few more jobless - it's such an easy lever to pull. In fact, it's a bit like human sacrifice to appease the Business Gods and it works, for some. 061
Greybeard @greybeard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Oh he's heading back to daughter's family as soon as the house is closeable. He's an indoor-only cat and they have tradies taking stuff in and out all day. And they miss him. Hmm, actually 7 weeks! We're a bit worried about this "cat distribution system" though. 120
Greybeard @greybeard.bsky.social · 28/09/2026We've now had this cat for about six weeks and while I like him, I don't want one of my own. It's a tough life though. He has to change windows several times a day to keep the sun on his lazy hide and when it's dark, there are only two laps. 3210
