Grief can do strange things.
Driving today and ended up partly on the route I took to the palliative care hospital. I think my body recognised it before my mind caught up - a wave of grief, a sick feeling in my stomach.

Solvitur ambulando is my favourite Latin phrase. It means "it is solved by walking".

SBS news going from the Libs stupid decision to stay in thrall to mining money, to the climate disaster in the Philippines.
Susssan says she's being economically responsible, while completely ignoring the costs of carrying on as normal.

SMH article identifying the Neo Nazis outside Parliament House has the best sick burn.
"an aspiring rapper with eight subscribers on his YouTube page"
Of course, the concern now is that those subscriber numbers will increase after the article.

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.
If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

An excellent thread of tips. 😁
Here’s a tip: if you’re travelling with a cowbell and laptop adaptors in hand luggage, don’t put the adaptors inside the cowbell because that looks suspicious.
And an extra tip from my cousin Charlotte - be careful about travelling with a pack of polenta too. Also looks dodgy.

Courier delivery.
Thought Couriers Please were the worst: not attempting delivery while I was home, sending an email saying pick it up at the local collection point, but not leaving a card saying where that was.
Aramex topped that, no delivery, while at home, charging for another delivery attempt.
