A large library room with an area for my computer and enough shelves and wall space for me to have all my various collections on display; several comfortable chairs and the small smoker's tables (minus the ashtrays) my grandparents used to own for individual coffee tables.
if you could have one absolutely ridiculous thing in your house, money is no issue, what would you add?

I've been on a news hiatus for mental health reasons, but with the comments people on my friends list made, I had to go look.

I think I may have inadvertently splashed a drop of the weak fish emulsion solution I made up this morning on my clothes when repotting the plants. I've been smelling it at random times during the day, but have scrubbed my hands many times over. Thankfully it seems no one else can smell it. 😕

Yesterday I spent as little time doing anything as possible, aside from setting up my 2026 wall calendar & playing Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley (a delightful game and very pretty too).
Today I've repotted a number of plants, moved the pots on the front porch around a bit for a different look,

When decimalisation occurred in 1966, the Australian government compiled an 81 page file on dangers of using decimal coins in Christmas puddings. There was a media campaign warning people not to use the new coins in their cooking. The file is now digitised.

For the interdisciplinary scientists at the Max Planck Society's little known North Pole Institute of Christmas Studies, this is always an especially busy time of year.

Two family Xmas functions down, and one to go. Yesterday was dinner at my in-laws. We were asked to bring two rotisserie chickens, which we did, and I made a pineapple upside-down cake for dessert (they always have a pavlova, something my daughter and I don't eat). I wish I'd taken a salad with us -

The Coalition has mistaken the unity it has found as a party and like minded political bedfellows over its response for actual unity. Its feverish rhetoric comes from the brief cohesiveness it’s discovered after so many fractures, rather than an organic groundswell. It also will not hold.
Remember, Ley & news.corp et al aren't talking to you, or even about you. They're screaming at each other & mistaking the echo as a response.

Most Australians want to honour the victims, have stronger gun laws and to get on with their holidays in peace free of unhinged ranting (relatives excepted).

It's finally starting to feel like the Christmas season to me. Yesterday I had family over after we'd been to lunch; they loved the fruit platter I'd prepared as our dessert. I had to go to the Central Market to get the fresh seasonal fruit - so glad I did, the peaches and strawberries are divine,
