Happy 100th birthday to my Grandma, Wilhelmine Taylor (left), pictured here with her sister in law, my Great Aunty Shirley. It's an extraordinary achievement for both to still be with us.

Grandma is a keen quilter and I have 2 from her - my 21st birthday quilt and my wedding quilt 🥰

This is unhinged..... what should have been a no-brainer depended on the court's ruling of an 11 year olds understanding of pregnancy and its outcomes. A young girl was abused by and impregnated by someone and they faff around with her health care in this way 🤬

It was beautiful this evening on the Coorong.

The RSV ad keeps on coming up on TV and it tells me nothing. I need to know what to look out for, when to seek help, etc. All I get is gov speak and acronyms. I know where gov speak comes from; I used to work for government and they used to do this all the time. Just tell me what to do & when!!!

I have decided that pomegranates are the crabs of the fruit world; it's hard work getting the tasty bits from the connective tissue.

Internet FTW

I am delighted that Australia has chosen to reject the ultra conservative right today. We are a centrist nation at our core, that fundamentally believes in fairness for all. Our election results reflect that.

My Saturday morning.....Daylight savings ends tomorrow, but that didn't stop my brain waking me pre-dawn to record ideas and concepts that percolated overnight after an excellent supervisor chat yesterday. So, on 5 hours (?) sleep and a lot of caffeine, I think I've got it all down.
