Oh me too. Are you enjoying the Bogong migration? I've had thousands here fuelling up for their astonishing flight.

Thank you Nat. It's so heartening to see the garden full of these things. It makes the work worthwhile.

If she also has your sewing machine, at least she's probably been using them to cut fabric.

These moths are stunning.

Given the erratic way hover flies move, that's a fantastic shot. I have hundreds in the garden at the moment.

Easy to miss species in the video

A tiny black bug with a scarlet head sits in the centre of a dark pink flower.

A tiny fly sitting on the petal of a dark pink flower.

A native bee with heavy pollen sacks showing.

A tiny beetle with zigzag patterned wing case (possibly some type of carpet beetle) and a masked bee (I think) in amongst the flowers.

Australia is in the southern hemisphere so yes, our seasons are the reverse of northern hemisphere seasons and we are mid spring.

Thanks Wolfie. I haven't watched a Harry Butler show for decades.

The government is flirting with a new gas reservation bill and it’s not looking promising.

As @klg.bsky.social notes, Hegseth has doubtless not read Charles Dickens' letter to The Times on witnessing a public hanging, but we must. kerryngoldsworthy.substack.com/p/the-execut...

"The horrors of the gibbet and of the crime which brought the wretched murderers to it faded in my mind before the atrocious bearing, looks, and language of the assembled spectators."

Hey guess what everybody? We’re doing a climate cartoon award again and we’re naming it in our dear, late friend Jon Kudelka’s honour!

Agree. It's breaking the social contract. I also think if you obviously aren't touching the tea or milk, you should get extra coffee.

As soon as my current crop get big enough to harvest 😊

I've never thought to grill leeks. They look delicious.

I've come to loathe the word 'activists'; it's up there with 'consumers'. Both are dehumanising and derogatory.

That photo could be a prompt for a whole heap of tales. Might be one of my favourites Sandy.

Agree. Much more planned as I extend gardens.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I've laid loads of deep mulch - it has made a huge difference to the beetle species I'm seeing. Not in huge numbers but it's a start.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I've had 1000s of Bogong moths in my garden. I've been wondering if the brushies have been taking advantage of an effective smorgasbord.

I have 3 very close family members with avocado allergy. 2 of them are also allergic to latex and 1 has the trifecta+ and can't be in a car with a ripe banana without becoming projectile vomiting ill. It's rare enough that it can be bloody hard to convince people it's real.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yes sure. That sort of surveillance tech would be the exception rather than the rule as glasses are being pushed to be. At least I hope so.

100

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Nor should you be. For you they'd be life enhancing. Somewhat like standard glasses are for me and many others but so much more. I completely agree you should have access but, I don't need them; the creep sitting in a park watching kids definitely doesn't.

110

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It could. I actively avoid every effort to capture me on camera. I know that's not entirely possible (CCTV etc) but there are very few intentional images of me past childhood. It's my personal opinion that I'm entitled to that type of privacy.

210

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Then perhaps images received through the camera ought not be able to be saved. If the camera is functioning as a form of eyesight but not recording, I'd be more comfortable.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I didn't realise you were travelling. I hope your time out in the world is wonderful (Changi Airport aside).

110

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I can absolutely see the benefit of the glasses for people with low or no vision. I think they should be freely available or provided at very low cost. The camera component though is just unnecessary unless I'm completely missing something. I'm happy to be told if I am.

100

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I can. Someone points a phone, or gopro etc in my direction, I have a fair chance of knowing they're filming and asking them to stop or moving out of their field. It's much harder with someone just looking in my direction while wearing sunnies. The lights are easy to miss.

210

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Fingers crossed 🤞 You've inspired me to have a go at extending a slab so it's big enough for a little garden shed.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

She's had so much to cope with this year. None of it can be good for resilience and energy. I hope she enjoys aqua aerobics and, that it is good for her. Take care of you too.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I think you've done a great job. If it's not quite level enough, would a levelling compound product fix the problem?

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Safe travels Mike. I hope you have a fantastic time.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I have very good memories of her.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

On her first visit east of the Blue Mountains, family lore says my nanna stood on the coast, looked at the Pacific and said "I thought it would be bigger." Your post reminds me of that.

Kimberly @kimbasgarden.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It's a wonderful outcome and it should impact current decisions and plans in the pipeline. HVO may not be the done deal it felt like last week.

I do thanks Nathalie, I've added a record there and on iNat. I've been wondering if I should add another record given how many I'm still seeing.
