Thanks, Paul. You've given me hope.

Fingers crossed, hey? And congratulations! Happy for you! Now hoping for the same for myself. It's a lonely life without a partner 🙁

Yeah - nobody is going to interview me but, if they did, I'd like it to be Richard. I grew up poor in country Qld too - but didn't have to deal with the violence, thank goodness.

Do you mean these fairywrens or a different type of fairywren? I'd be surprised if these were seen on Warrnambool foreshore.

White-browed woodswallows in for a drink. You can try counting them, if you like 🙂 Gluepot Reserve, South Australia.

South Australia's power grid will be decarbonised next year: “The most striking thing about this transition is how mundane it has been,” David adds. “In contrast to the forecasts of doom, South Australia’s economy hasn’t lost out from the decline of fossil power.”

It is so very cool that I can chat with my daughter-in-law while she is flying at 11,000 metres over the Pacific. This sort of tech never fails to impress me.

I very occasionally sell prints. Only reluctantly though. It's a lot of running around. But if someone is super enthusiastic they might convince me to do it 😄

And the worm was THIS big! A willie wagtail boasting at Gluepot Reserve 😆

So, it's only a couple of days since I posted this, but today I saw a video from the Flinders Ranges showing a *lot* of locusts 🙄

Okay - I'm ready to watch 70 Up on SBS! This calls for a cocktail!

Not when you go back and read the small print: "at participating outlets" 😕

The boy child and his bride are at SeaTac and are about to start their long trip from Seattle to Adelaide to visit me. So I'll be flight tracking for the next couple of days 😄

Harumpf! Not 'bland' but rather 'understated' 😄

And - with permapine logs for scale - a male splendid fairywren. These logs are around the edge of the camping grounds at Gluepot. Shows how truly tiny these birds are. Happy Wrensday Wednesday! #wrensday

And let's hear it for the ladies! This is the female splendid fairywren. Gluepot Reserve, South Australia. #wrensday

A splendid fairywren - which was right at the Sittella campground at Gluepot Reserve. Didn't have to walk for for this one 🙂 Happy Wrensday Wednesday! #wrensday

I was visiting my sister (in Gympie) once when they came into her yard. That was the only time she'd seen them as a backyard bird. It seemed to have something to do with the drought at the time, we think.

Scarlet honeyeaters are my favourite honeyeaters - but we don't have them here in SA. They are stunning birds!

Last week? I saw a report from 13 September and everyone at Gluepot was hoping to see the bird. Would have been amazing. We just figured it was passing through. Was there a sighting last week too?

I love how parrots really throw their whole bodies into the activity of drinking. Like me at the chocolate fountain, really 😄 I snapped this cockatiel from a great distance at Kangaroo Dam, Gluepot Reserve.

Oh wow. This is proper fucked. That list of folks eligible for a free vaccine is *narrow*. So anyway, we gave BHP $600m in diesel rebates this past year. You know they really needed them because in the same year the company booked a $14b profit.

Fewer Australians will qualify for free COVID-19 vaccines from October - Australian Pharmacist

COVID-19 vaccines move onto the NIP this week. Who is now eligible for a funded vaccine and what should pharmacists tell patients who aren’t?

Deadly plague in Russia? Sure. Why not? I'll just wait for the locusts. They should be here any moment 🙄
