It was surreal to see soooo many over the weekend after many years without them 🙏

LOL similar issues when the kidults were here. I also resorted to putting this sign in the freezer!

It's a glorious Winter day in #CBR on #Ngunnawal country today. Magpies frolicking in and out of this tree, but of course they stopped when I stepped outside. I can hear so much birdsong from my office. Wish I could be out amongst it, but work shmirk 🤷‍♀️ #birds #winter #gratitude

I'm wallpaper on socials, more observer than contributor, and not many followers. Maybe there should be an unfollow exit survey

I just finished reading Arundhati Roy's memoir 'Mother Mary Comes To Me'. Exquisite, raw account of complex relationships, astonishing bravery, and self reflection. Next, I'll re-read 'The God of Small Things', now I've sat with the characters in this memoir. #words #writing #books #library

💯 judgy if there's no books to see. With so much online, I miss browsing folks music - such a connector for me 🎵 Donated crates of books & DVDs to Lifeline when we renovated 8 yrs ago, 'downsized' the bookcase. Trying to use the library more but I'm still a compulsive buyer 🤷‍♀️ Vinyl & CDs stored sep.

If you're in #CBR do yourself a favour and visit Curio Press by Lake BG - great coffee, food and atmosphere 🦋 Just what I needed today 💕

How to shortlist #hottest100 hardest one EVER!! Ok, yes this is pretty lame, I am trying to categorise... but it's not working (and not full list). Are you selecting based on banger beat or that tug of a memory or person? Please help 🎶🦋🙃

8 years since our girl became an angel, 8 long years 😥 This is Kiara with her daughter 💜 Her despair in her last week of life was not dear of dying, it was leaving her daughter. #KizzasWings #grief #broken #fuckcancer

Is it just me who hates the 'happy heavenly birthday [name]'? There's nothing fucking happy about it! Today marks the 8th missed birthday for my girl, and it's wrapped in heartache. Planning to get drunk and sing loud Aus rock tonight (sorry neighbours) 💔🎵 #grief #kizzaswings #drinkingrum #music

I'm sorry to hear you were alone on NYE. It's a strange thing we humans do heralding the changeover as if magically our lives will be transformed. Joseph Fasano captures this so well 👇 FWIW your pics are sparkling moments in my life 💜

Filled up with music tonight, what a wonderful tonic it is 💜 First saw #ColdChisel in the 80s and they didn't disappoint tonight on a beautiful balmy night in #CBR Cruel Sea were awesome too. Unlikely I'll be able to walk tomorrow after dancing the night away 😀
