Did the supermarket food shopping chore last night. In our haste, we picked up jalapeño and garlic pane di casa. Which was a surprise and a challenge when I bit into my breakfast toast this morning 🌶🧄🍞😅

On the other hand, I think a mince pie can be described as a tactical pie, especially as it's my first one of the festive season 🎄

Last minute swerve from getting a tactical pie for lunch. Got a quiche instead. But am now in a quandary: can a quiche be tactical?

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Tove Jansson's (1957) illustration from her book 'Moominland Midwinter'. Moomintroll, unlike his family who hibernate, decides to stay up through the harsh winter. It is a tale of endurance, acceptance and learning to live with the discomfort of uncertainty #WomensArt

Had some kitchen renos and repainting done. The doors and skirting boards were done in oil-based paint. We're camping in our garden tonight!

I love the story of Baiame / Orion being an upside down man because he tripped over! I've always called him the Skydiver, but I like the Wiradjuri story better!

Greek astronomy is ancient; this Wiradjuri knowledge is far older
All 88 internationally recognised constellations have European origins. But First Nations astronomy tells older, beautiful stories that contain invaluable lessons and knowledge.

The easy, cheap, ineffective 'solution' to combatting increased crash numbers. If only there was more research *sarcasm*. More seriously, better research would be a good thing. And that starts with better, more consistent stats from the States and Territories.
