In the middle of the desert in Palm Springs is a nice way to soak up some much-needed sun even if it's 38 deg!

Night out in Palm Springs. At the French-inspired Bar Cecil.

How (non) competitive does the Aussie team look at the moment? #cricket #second-rate #AusvBangladesh

So I didn’t think they were allowed to prompt from the gallery? #masterchefau

Hobart in all its DARK MOFO glory. Can’t take credit for the pics. Best friend took them when we were out for dinner with them at the waterfront last night. What a beautiful state we live in. ❤️

I so wanted to steal the bread knife at breakfast at the Intercontinental IHG in Melbourne this week. Slid through the bread like butter. Moments like these you wish you had check-in luggage not carry-on! 😱 #knifeenvy

Far North Queensland, grey but warmer than our island at the moment! (Barron Falls in the Barron Falls national park).

Finally we're having some rain. Tasmania is so dry. And while it's bleary out there it's very much welcomed!

The New Zealand's national anthem brings strong emotions for me because it's in both Maori and English. Time for us to give similar recognition in our national anthem to our First Nations People. Long overdue.

Powerful message to the Tasmanian Upper House today. I signed it too although it didn't make it into the published version. I'm sure there were many more like me. Over to you now LegCo. Let's get rid of this abominable and spurious 'sport'. #politas #auspol

Still enjoying @abcnewsbot.bsky.social Sabra Lane reading the weekend TV news in Tasmania. Such a breath of fresh air. I feel like she’s having a conversation with us rather than just reading a news bulletin. A delight to listen to and watch.

Can’t understand why burn offs are done on a weekend. A stunning autumn day in Hobart ends with a pall of thick white smoke all over the city, mountain and working its way to the northern suburbs when people are likely preparing for barbecue dinners or finishing off at sporting events. Crazy.

Love our regular weekly shop at Hill St. Some beautiful berries and apples today along with locally grown veg and eggs. And a heads up for Tasmanian Lakker Chocolates (in pic) by Belgian-trained pastry chef and chocolatier Dimitri Smet and his wife, Jae. Unbelievably delicious dark chocolate.

Treat yourself to a beautiful day out and visit Bangor Vineyard in Dunalley, Tasmania. The perfect spot for lunch on an absolutely glorious day.

How good is Sabra Lane reading TAS weekend news on @abcnewsbot.bsky.social? Just love her calm and authoritative tone. Absolute professional.

Vale Jon Kudelka (1972-2026). He was one of the sharpest political cartoonists this country has ever produced. He saw through the folly and cant but never let it dim his own warmth or decency. Thoughts are with his family. You can read his essay on cartooning here: satpa.pe/fZGzqRE

Lessons from political cartooning
After being diagnosed with an inoperable glioblastoma, The Saturday Paper’s editorial cartoonist took time to consider what really matters – and it is not politics.

So sad to report that award-winning Australian cartoonist #JonKudelka has passed away. Jon had an acerbic wit and amazing intellect that was reflected in his cartoons and his public commentary. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew and loved him. Go well, Jon.

@rogueytwinkles.bsky.social thought you’d like to see my hydrangeas. I’m fortunate the bush is on the side of our garage and not in direct sun so no matter the heat (which isn’t as bad as Melbourne), they survive. Today 26 deg.

Anyone heard from Jon Kudelka recently? His absence from this platform after his regular wry contributions is worrying. Thinking positive thoughts for him and his health challenges.

Bethell has shown how thoughtful, strategic batting pays dividends. Bazball advocates, aka McCullum and Stokes, take note. #Ashes

Why is the Barmy Army allowed to sing Jerusalem at the start of play as the bowler bowls the first ball to a batter? If there was any respect for the game this should be sung leading to the start of each day, or batters should be allowed to stand to one side until the 'anthem' is completed. #Ashes

Mighty effort Steve Smith and big shout out to fellow Tasmanian, Beu Webster!!! Such gritty determination which is what the #Ashes is all about.

Says it all seeing McCullum with a grin on his face and his feet on the desk in the players’ room all morning to put one leg down when the last wicket fell. Arrogance right there. #Ashes

On the grapevine, hearing Font PR is closing down. Becher retiring and Brad doing his own thing. Interesting times. #politas

@bsky.app is asking for verification of age to comply with Australian #socialmedia laws, yet the auto date picker doesn't work properly. Frustrating.

Why do singers of the national anthem feel they have to sing it like a pop song and put their own 'spin' on it? What a massacre of Australia's anthem. #Ashes #TheAshes

"The AFL ought to get back to its core business of addicting people to gambling and ripping off the taxpayers of Tasmania." Never a truer word from the doyen of sports journalists Gideon Haigh on #Offsiders this morning. #politas

Refreshing to see media releases in past days from the govt and opposition without the childish 'attack dog' tone ie Ellis. My inbox is breathing a sigh of relief. If this is the future of the new-look collaborative parliament then bring it on! #politas

Find it incredible the TCCI is now pouring scorn on Tasinsure. (Michael Bailey ABC Radio this morning). Where was the business group during the election when this nonsense and unworkable pledge was made by the current government during the campaign? #politas

Now let's hope they read their framework for collaboration and actually collaborate. A good start would be to go back to the drawing board with the Greens and the Independents. #politas

Why Winter is even bothering is beyond me. He's been out manoeuvred by the Government at every turn. He should stop wasting everyone's time and hand in his resignation. #politas

So if I cook some potatoes, add broth and call it risotto then I can get equal marks with somebody who uses amazing creativity and technique to make ‘oysters’ filled with flavour in one bite. Righto #masterchefau
