@David Public schools in Straya are actually public!

Busy day at the show in perfect weather. All good, except some bastard stole his folding chair! Anyway I'm not much into cars but this ancient Datsun is cute...

Old blue and white Datsun ute on a truck tray. Japanese numberplate says Made In Japan.

Himself is showing off his white Nissan 200SX (1995) tomorrow at the Japanese Car Show at EPIC. He's been polishing it for a week (it's supposed to be a sports car but it's a tank to drive 😆). Say hi to him tomorrow if you're there. #CBR #JapaneseMotorFestival

@MelissaBearTrix I'm more often a pedestrian than a cyclist, so always appreciate a bell. But srsly, what a waste of all my bell-ing!!

Biked to and fro the SIEV X ceremony, half an hour each way, entirely on the bike path. All pedestrians had earbuds in and failed to hear my bell, sheesh... at least if you can't walk without earbuds, could you have the decency to keep to the left?

At the #SIEVX 25th memorial ceremony in Weston Park CBR. .. 353 refugees drowned 25 years ago, en route to Australia. Good roll up. Here's the choir opening the gig with a lovely but sad bespoke song. We're sitting within the 350 memorial poles which form […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

Walking through Gregson Park in Hamilton NSW yesterday, and the dianella berries are starting to ripen into their wonderful purple greatness. Also, a flying fox flew out of the big Afrocarpus tree there. I could just make out a small cluster hanging in the tree […] [Original post on aus.social]

A small cluster of Dianella berries, the largest of which are turning purple, the smallest still being pale green. In amongst long, thing, green leaves of Dianella, with some flowering spiny-head mat rush reaching in from the top-left.

Sprays of Dianella berries, in mixed stages of ripeness from green to purple, amongst the long green Dianella leaves.

Missed Parkrun this morning due to a family miscommunication. It was Woden Parkrun's first birthday too 🎂😪 but I went elsewhere due to family commitments. I have now discovered (long story) that I could have done both and am very bloody pissed off. Why can't people* just communicate?! 😡 * MEN

Two trays of Koshary (lentils, pasta, rice, chickpeas, onions) and a tray of spicy meat pastries... being served to attendees.

Remember - in this era of AI deepfakes, you need a family code word to use if anyone calls anyone else for help. It's pretty easy to agree one.

@timrichards It's legendary: tradies' mecca in the industrial area. That tells you about the menu. Only went because son in law was down for the week, very busy (working across the road from the cafe), and it was the only way we'd get to catch up. A lot of fun, I really enjoyed my lambs' fry and […]

[Offal] Visiting son in law took us to the Yass Road Takeaway for brekky in Queanbo, so that was a first. And there was a treat in store: lamb's fry and bacon! Lucky me.

Died and gone to cheese heaven. Yes. Those are bottles of liquor in the cheeses 🤯

A whole wheel of Blue Shropshire with an overturned bottle of beer upturned into it, and a whole wheel of blue stilton with an upturned bottle of port in it.

Two large wheels of gorgonzola with their tops cut off. One has an open bottle of cognac in it and the other is mixed through with fresh bits of black truffle.
They are surrounded by smaller metal baskets of broken up stilton and Roquefort.

Spent about 3 hrs today wrangling Centrelink, both online and phone. What a shit of a website it is. Luckily this time we got a lovely woman on the phone without a heavy accent (which, when you are rather deaf, makes it a real struggle). Anyhoo, we got there in the end. Fingers crossed they can […]
