I don’t recall ever planting any callistemon tubestock and it surviving.
I have had 7 successes (ie survivals) this past 18 months and this is my first flower.🎊

Anyone know anything about these batteries?
They have been in the remote control of my now-superseded TV for 15 years.
Still working but not needed.
Amazing!

I just harvested the chillies from last year’s crop.
Three or four of my chilli plants seem to have survived the winter, completely neglected but under hessian sacks. One of those plants is still fully green; the others resprouting.
Regardless of their condition, they are hot and very cookable 🙌🏼🌶️

This is where we are

This is BOM trolling us yet again! Same as always.
BOM: oohhh rain is coming

The icing on the cake: hear some of the birds AND get an identification 🙌🏼

Gorgeously glorious day… and the birds were singing its praises!

You might be able to get your yellow-footed rock wallabies into the Australian Bird of the Year contest. And win!
There is a recent precedent in NZ.

Oooohhh it looks as if we stayed. Shame shame shame!

I read this today - a marvellous page-turner and a must-read for all Australians.
Recall that the author, a Palestinian academic, was effectively cancelled from the Bendigo Writers’ Festival due to LaTrobe Univesity’s imposition of a code of conduct prerequisite: a 🤯 case of life replicating art!

Bloody hell!
Not only are we in a drought here (nowhere near as bad as further west), BoM teases us with the promise of rain!
Similar yesterday (we got 1/2-1/3 of 95% promised rainfall).

Actually I have something very similar.
Before I had power, I had an old throwaway solar panel with a small regulator (I think) on it I used to charge batteries. I monitored it with a Victron energy app on my phone.

Albanese lies, as always, that Australia has no involvement with Israel’s genocide on Palestinians because it is a long way away on the other sidenof the world.
Yet he has <deeply> involved Australia in Ukraine’s war against the invasion of Russia, even though it is even further away.
September 4, 2025 at 8:06 AM
This one gives you the sound!
I could not see the birds as I was videoing though so you don’t get to see much of them.

Found it - not sure if BS can upload tho.

There’s the situation in a nutshell.
What a fukn disaster is Marles! How is he not an agent of foreign influence?

Handy home hint.
If work is being done in your house and you don’t want your precious floors scratched, put cardboard boxes down. Way better than drop sheets. I guess use both of its painting work.
You can always get big boxes from the local bicycle shop.

Ha ha… then i saw this on the Bad Place:

Ta! *curtseys*
Also went to Sunbury 72, Led Zeppelin at Kooyong (near the front - my ears rang for a week!), Frank Zappa at Festival Hall x 2 and lots more.
Check out the FULL lineup at Blackbushe in 98!

I finished the “pickling” process yesterday but the beans were “sweet” even on Wednesday. They are incredibly delicious!
I discovered today that they make a Palestinian dish (as described in the recipe).

Seriously! The Australian government still greenlights travel to the US in spite of the conplete breakdown on rule-of-law, catastrophic climate events w/o emergency mgt, huge lawless gestapo force snatching anyone/everyone from the streets/shops/cars. No ref to heightened risk by being brown!

This is a very old photo, but was when i put the 25mm irrigation pipes in (see little demolition-jackhammer).
