Well ... I've been sitting around playing on SM long enough.
It's a cold day and it has been raining heavily.
That curry won't cook itself.
Also, I didn't go out to get baby spinach. Not in this weather.
Time to get busy ...

Just to show some of the landscape, this is where I go to see the yellow-footed rock-wallabies at Boolcoomatta.
I drive up a rough track to this high point and sit in my car to watch them as they bound around on those rocks.
They are pretty confiding creatures.
I've spent hours at this lovely spot.

How many unprecedented weather events and 'natural' disasters do we have to endure before people realise that the cost of electricity is the least of our problems?

From my trip in Sept - the track to Dome Rock.
I love the vast plains and the sense of isolation out here.

So ... as I predicted long ago ... Donald has finally figured out that burgers are going to cost more unless he dumps the tariffs on beef.

Speaking of Olivia Dean, here's the clip that I was enjoying at 5am today. Beautiful and uplifting. Also, I wonder if I'm related. My maiden name is Dean 😆

I didn't sleep last night.
I mean - all night. Gah!
So I watched some mindless TV
Watched a movie.
Watched a bit of Rage.
And I discovered a singer called Olivia Dean.
Had never heard of her before (yeah, I know, I am so uncool) but I like her.

I bought half a dozen items at a store just now - and it came to exactly $100. Small things amuse ...

Silhouette of a pelican after sunset at St Kilda.
The Torrens Island gas-fired power station can be seen in the distance. It's due to shut down in mid-2028.

Hey, EV people ... a friend is looking to buy a new car.
She's considering a hybrid because she wants to tow a trailer.
She's under the impression that EVs can't tow.
I think she's wrong. Pretty sure EVs can tow.

Dear ABC radio, please have somebody with more expertise than me explain to you why “renewables are the cheapest form of power” and “power prices have gone up in the last years in spite of increased renewables” are not contradictory statements. And why slowing renewables will not bring prices down.

While I'm talking about tracking flights, I am reminded of this very amusing result when I was trying to track my son's flight some time back. It made me laugh 😂

Another phone pic from Wednesday afternoon when the weather was spectacular in Adelaide.
It didn't last though.
We're in for a few days of showers so I reckon I'll do some cooking. My freezer is devoid of handy dandy single-serve curries.
