First time using farmhand Fred's #Persinware Culinary Scales! Labelled: 'To Weigh 4lbs. by 1/2 oz.' Had to use online converter to work out what 80g of red lentils is–close enough to 3oz. Thanks Fred (& kind friend who gifted these to me, daughter of said farm.) #culinary #cooking #scales #vintage

Good to see the "Chook Whisperer's" #chickens on the deck today. Elaine brings these beauties every Tuesday morning & will be back on Friday at the #opshop to read from her book of short stories 'Under my Wing'. They're pretty cool birds tho' I'm not sure I'm comfortable about touching them...😬🐓🐔

Opinion | University Australia's backing of a new definition of antisemitism will be devastating to the principles on which all universities are supposed to be built. Among them, equality.
Antisemitism definition will be devastating for academic freedom, and equality itself

Brilliant MTC production of '37', a play that takes on truth-telling, team
unity, division, racism & holding true to values. The choreography of the footy dance scenes is so beautiful. Q to the cast: 'what would you men tell young men?' 'Listen more.' 'Don't stay silent when you see/hear racism.' 👏🏼✨

Great morning for #swimming Got out for a dawnie, and swam to The Springs and back (2.4km) for the second day in a row. Can't believe I can do this! ✨🌊 So happy to find this bliss. Thanks Lobsters. 🦞

First time doing a longish *solo* swim. Good on me! No #swimming mates at hand today but jumped in anyway after some hesitation. So clear and so worth it! Swam a km over wonderful swaying seabed reef and sand. 'You never regret a swim'–so far, this holds true. 🏊♀️
