Went out with my big Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 ED to take an up close pic of our newly planted grass shoots. @iknowthezarbi.bsky.social calls “bunny!” So I snap a quick shot of departing vege stealer.

Our mulberries are starting to ripen. We harvested 1200g of fruit, after snipping off the stems with side cutters. I mixed that in with 400g of sugar and 125ml of lemon juice, plus a tea bag of a couple of teaspoons of lemon pips for pectin. That goes on the boil for a while until it becomes jam.

Suggest ducking up to the shops for some coffee beans with @iknowthezarbi.bsky.social an hour before #TOSSatNight . He does a remarkable job of channeling Milton from office space. To the point that I suggested buying a red stapler while we’re up there.

This is how I make Ragu. It’s probably not authentic, but it’s kept my family fed and happy for decades. I start by chopping 3 brown onions, and heating these in a big stainless pan with 3 grated carrots, 3 grated sticks of celery, a crushed head of garlic and a few tablespoons of olive oil.

The time is nearly perfect for a movie about the famously chaotic and dramatic 1976 production of Star Wars, starring Ewan McGregor as Alec Guinness and Hayden Christiansen as David Prowse.

Went to the doctor this morning for treatment for a chest infection. Ticked the ”female” box for sex at birth, and the “female” box for gender. Received good care. Haven't seen any evidence of the world ending this afternoon.

Trying to decide between a Sony Vaio C1 and Macintosh Powerfriend. I really like the 0.27Mp camera on the Vaio, but it’s let down by the power hungry Pentium MMX processor. I think the powerfriend really nails the subcompact form factor perfectly. It’s G3 processor is perfect.

Playing with our router (Aldi 4/5G mobile plan at $59/month). Found the 5G setting. Moved it out to the verandah and got this. Not too shabby. Not long ago we were lucky to get 50mbps on NBN fixed wireless at twice the cost.

Worked on a stall at Scitech last night showcasing STEM careers for trans people. We were visited by an absolutely adorable young trans girl and her parents, who were clearly incredibly affirming. She left us each with one of these beautiful little trans flag dinosaurs, that she’d printed.

A kneeling courtier offers a bowl concealing a de‑worming pill to a regal cat queen seated on an ornate throne, crown on her head and flanked by armed guards, while the court anxiously hopes she won't detect it. Caption reads "They all prayed the Queen would not detect the de-worming pill hidden in her royal num-nums."

This was so me in my thirties. Then I moved to jobs that were way out in the desert where I couldn’t exercise, or required my attention 24/7, so same. Next year I retire. Then comes the return to alpine, then super series, then… The wine in Porepunkah is sublime.

Picked up some tomato and basil for the planter, but I think it’s still a little cold out, so we’re keeping them in their pots and bringing them inside every night for a week or so.

I am conflicted. I don’t think movies should be banned, unless they depict scenes that people can’t consent to. But also, I rarely walk out on a movie, but I walked out on Salò. It’s like it gradually amps up the senseless depravity simply to find the audiences limit. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...
