My swim this morning. Lovely water, some nice conversations with other swimmers. :)

Sadly the new show is rubbish. I watched a bit at the start as I was hoping for chaos with Micallef and Brett Blake in the same studio. The bits I saw did not have that. :(

Fairly sure that was one of the shows I went to as part of the studio audience. Went to a lot of ABC filming in the 90s, was a fun and cheap night out.

Baking needs more precision, which is why I prefer other types of cooking. :)

Ouch. :( And has made me realise when lovely neighbour moves out, the new people who move in may use smelly laundry stuff. The way our apartment block is set up means their laundry is under our bathroom, and the strong perfume can come in the grill in the bathroom window.

Have seen other articles talking about starving bats, so I wonder if people are trying to rescue them and don't have the knowledge to stay away? Only those trained to deal with bats should be handling them.

Eek. Yeah, that's hard. Make up a mental bingo card for your own amusement?

Do I want to read the comments. Heh. Could create a bingo card, I guess

Considering most people no longer mask they have a weird understanding of what calling someone 'sheep' means

A lovely swim in the river this morning. Water was perfect once you were in. Could happily have floated for hours, but don't like being in the sun in the middle of the day.
River scene.

You can make out two heads on the water where people are swimming. 
The pylons supporting the nets are behind them.

Some boats in the background and the houses on the far shore.
Water is blue and there is a blue sky with some wispy white clouds

Looks like a trial was done in Cologne, but can't see if they have rolled them out anywhere else yet.

Fighting? Does he mean indiscriminate bombing?

Yes! One reason I don't always enjoy seeing people use e-readers - I can't suss out the title.

Haven't you seen the ads - that's a job for the kids. ;-)

There are books advertised as always available, so I don't actually know how many copies the library has of them.

Congrats to Ms 17 and all the best for the upcoming exams. Signed a parent of an 18 year old starting final school exams this week. My child went the shaggy sheep hair look and ignored the school rules that way. Four more weeks.

All rather silly. Why wouldn't you mask on a flight now? Really should have been doing it years ago - so many times I'd be ill after a long haul flight.

Another fun book. Hope there is another book that links to that world

What’s something you liked about your day? I’ll go first: - read Mr9’s start to a Halloween story he’s writing (for no reason other than he wants to write a story). - built some product with my brother for our business & got some things organised to talk to a potential new supplier.

I had quite a few years in the 90s when I went to Port Doug every winter. Loved it and the surrounding areas

I love both. Growing up this river wasn't somewhere we'd really go to, lots of industry along it, smelly and toxic. Now those places are nearly all gone in my area (replaced by apartments), the water is much better quality and it is lovely to sit nearby or walk along it.

Oh that sucks. :( I hope it eases soon
