Google is updating its satellite images of Gaza. The comprehensiveness of effort required to reduce an urban landscape to this is beyond imagining. Literal carpet bombing.

Missed the maggies this morning (it's Sunday, slept in, so). Have to reiterate that a very good thing about Classic Radio Ukraine is that they *never* play any russians. (It's called non sequitur, so.) Happy Sunday!

Maggies are warbling in the dark again. I imagine the conversation is something like "Bit nippy, yeah?" "Fluff your feathers, Mabel, you'll be right," "Ah shut up, I'm cold."

Forecast temperatures for the week; chilly tomorrow, then rising again. Currently it's 4.3, supposed to be an overnight minimum of 3, but it feels distinctly colder!

Down at the Tanks with a coffee, frogs mostly quiet in the warm afternoon. Ducks splashing about, maggies warbling, insects buzzing... Not falling asleep, no.

Put it off and put it off, but on the whole I approve of RN, so I did it. But how the hell I'm supposed to *choose*... but here they are.
List of my votes for Radio National's top 100 Australian books:
Cocaine Blues, Kerry Greenwood - I would have chosen a different book from her, but she had to be on the list.
Damned Whores and God's Police, Anne Summers: a cracker.
The Female Eunuch, Germaine Greer - Germaine had to be on the list!
Battleaxe, Sara Douglass - an excellent fantasy writer, taken too soon.
Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray, Anita Heiss - just lovely.
The complete adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, May GIbbs - dates me terribly!
The Penguin Book of Australian Verse - this is a catch-all to represent a lifetime's love of Oz poets.
Poor Man's Orange - Ruth Park, always a favourite. Again, a representative only, how do you pick a favourite?
Dark Emu, Bruce Pascoe - a fascinating read, and wow, the controversy!
The Dressmaker, Rosalie Ham - better than the film.
