Read a book!
Once.
Can't stop now!
Tried abstinence, but life was not worth living.
Tried substitution, but was unsatisfied.
Tried moderation, but ache for more.
Have to watch out for bingeing - drains me.
So avoid temptation, by not keeping many at home!
#GVBR, day 4:
Loop day, from Port Campbell, but I bailed.
Weather has settled, but some wind.
People are dry & happier.
Some left ASAP, to get back early & enjoy the town; some enjoyed a break.
Staff enjoyed the change.
Great breakfast - not sure about lunch? Food is always nourishing & substantial.

In ep. 3 of 'Liaison', Gabriel & Sabine go to have wild & passionate sex!
Gabriel stops proceedings, pulls out a condom, tears it with his teeth & (presumably) puts it on, for use!
Should be more of that on screen!

Well, there is that too - fair is fair, right?
Melania Trump didn't qualify for an EB-1 visa and was paid for modeling in the U.S. in 1996 while on a tourist visa, which doesn't allow employment. Working on this visa is fraud and also disqualifies her. She also lied about work history on her immigration application,which is NATURALIZATION FRAUD.

#GVBR, day 3:
Koroit - Port Campbell.
Tough day, with rain & wind.
Final climb not brutal, but dangerous, w/- traffic & slowing cyclists.
Baby koala was rescued.
Site closed until 1300 - but some cyclists jumped anyway, causing a 'tsunami' effect 😞

#GVBR, day 2:
Koroit loop day.
Warm day.
Cyclists rolled out to explore Port Fairy.
Many happy to be moving.
A bit breezy to start.
Image shows some tents - things are getting busier!
Porridge to start us off.
I went on to Port Campbell to prepare! Also negotiated with campsite staff re access, etc.

#GVBR day 1:
Mortlake- Koroit.
Started cool, warmed up. Cyclists had tailwind.
With ~1900 cyclists & vollies, town is sharing the joy, with welcome hospitality - so much to see & do.
Great town, with engaging stories - being here is a welcome change.
History is what you make of it!
Campsite awaits!

#GVBR, Day -1:
Visited Mortlake, pushed on to Koroit - via Warrnambool.
Already plenty of vols, setting up camp, for the riders.
Warm, slight breeze.
Is town ready for tomorrow?
There are hubs of activity, but o/wise it’s a quiet Sunday afternoon, in the country.
Time for Kilkenny at Rourke’s bar.

Well, yes ...
Oh I would love for a reporter to put Bullshit Barbie in her place.

This is the POTUS telling a (female) reporter, "quiet, quiet piggy"?
Surely that has got to be a BIG deal???
You know, 'official decorum', 'intolerant sexism' and/or simply 'good manners'.
<sigh> what has the world (USA) come to?
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Yes!
All too sadly true.

I wonder if Trump was a fan of the Talking Heads?
I just watched 'Stop making sense' (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Ma...).
When they are singing 'Take me to the river', David Byrne is wearing the pants of his big suit & then puts on a red cap - spitting image of Trump!!!

Random, but ...
That is a mug you do not often see!
Back to yummy basics this morning. Soft boiled eggs with toast fingers with a nice cup of really hot tea, whilst I’d was bucketing down outside. #breakfast #brekkie #boildeggs #nurseryfood #oldiebutgoodie

I am still left wondering just what 'functional aneorexia' (or 'anorexia') means!
Anybody got any guidance/suggestions?

Bovino: "Whether they were criminals ... that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing".
So, does mean that if the criminals are American, that is okay?
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Started watching @realgdt.bsky.social's 'Frankenstein' - see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franken.... It is a stunning film, both aurally & visually.
I then remembered that I did not like the story & it was then the struggle of aesthetics vs. queasiness!
I don't know when (or if) I will get back to it ...

Happy #Dismissal day!
For those that know, today we celebrate 50 years since Gough Whitlam was dismissed.
It was a sad day, in too many ways.
But, it is also a recognition of seismic shifts in polity, setting examples & standards that we still strive to achieve.
Live & learn!
