Read a book! Once. Can't stop now! Tried abstinence, but life was not worth living. Tried substitution, but was unsatisfied. Tried moderation, but ache for more. Have to watch out for bingeing - drains me. So avoid temptation, by not keeping many at home!

Give, so that others may have. Share what you may (not) have: Time? Physicality? Food? Money? Silence? Passion? Garden produce? Skill? Knowledge? Acceptance? Tolerance? Intimacy? Hugs? Laughter? Confidence? We all have more than we need, but can’t always see what others see in us! Embrace your needs

Just been up to Melbourne & back. Gosh! A) surprised just how chaotic #VLine services were! Yet, people were SO blasé about delays, uncertainties, changes, etc; and. B) probably 93% of travellers were on their phones, either streaming to headphones and/or watching! Seriously felt I’m missing out?

Apparently the Queensland police are surprised that people don't trust them. As someone who is old enough to remember how they were politicised by previous LNP regimes, I do not wonder why! I'm unsure if 'dishonest' is that they are e.g. thieves though? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10... #qldpol #auspol
abc.net.au
Almost half of Queenslanders don't believe police are honest, report finds
Data in the QPS's annual report has revealed the service failed to meet public integrity benchmarks including public trust, police honesty, and fairness by as much as 22 per cent.

True! I, for one, found your story to be rather engaging. Still, as the old joke goes, ‘enough about me, let’s talk about you - what do you think about me?’ Thanks.

Why is ‘sexism’ a one way thing? Or is it? Serving a customer, with female by my side & he tells a ribald joke. I look at her, but no response. I tell him to leave. Come back, to hear her expressing faux shock, to another customer. Then another customer berates me about the sexism. Is it so fraught?

Ouch! Mind you, some of the other comments in this thread are quite odd, e.g. ‘it’s your fault for antagonising the cars!’ Even though it was a cyclist slipping. #bikesky

As much as I query so much 'governmental oversight' (ahem, Albo), I have to admit, this is a really great idea: www.afp.com/en/propping-...

I’m not sure what the message is here? Either, taking (& celebrating) drugs is not as dangerous as we were told, as the highest members of society do! Or, say ‘no’ to drugs - look at all the damage done by these drug users!

Ever cooked goat? Just did leg (2kg) & it worked out. Started it at 180c & the dish broke! Moved to another (thankfully) & did it at ~140c, for two hours, turning & basting it every 30 mins. Rested under alfoil & then sliced it. As this was mostly an extrapolation, I’m impressed that it tasted good.

USA declares weapons in space: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09... As space law expert Laetitia Cesari declared, this "will likely give impetus to the restrictive approach that Moscow and Beijing are pushing for". Prior to this, it was more 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink' - bit like Israel & nuclear weapons?
abc.net.au
The US has admitted deploying weapons in space and China is sounding the alarm
The revelation by Washington confirms an open secret but the timing of the announcement risks exacerbating tensions with Beijing and creating a weapons race in space.

Done the ‘26ITR - well done, me! Seems that I made more $ than I had anticipated/expected? But, decided to then go ahead & under-report my deductions - that way, I will still pay some tax! It’s not much. But, it all counts! Right!

If you’ve heard about tulips in history, this is my recreation myth.
Picture of three tulips.
One is flowering, deep red in colour.
The bulbs sit amongst oaten straw, a blanched & pale colour.
