If I had a wish for now; I'd want someone to read to me because I have a book right there but my nose is a house with broken and hay fever. Can recite a few books but a new murder mystery while the inflammation nicks off would be amazing. And you are all correct. Should listen to a podcast.

Hay fever day. What a sniffly day to be sniffling over service. Again, I need a t-shirt that reads: I don't have a cold or COVID, I just have hay fever.

Border patrol to Chicago. I think someone needs to do an explainer on this because that really seems nutjob and would have been laughed out of the Blues Bros script.

Wondering what our society would be like if there weren't so many amazing volunteers. Wondering why we don't factor in the work they do as necessary.

Load number ? washing linen from an old cupboard that hasn't seen the light of day since. I can hear Mum, Nana, Gran and great aunts all in some kind of army annoyed at good linen not being washed, aired, folded and stored correctly. There are worse armies in the world than the ghost linen police.

I know, I risk offending some of my dearest friends, but Christmas is not for November. November is a month where you feel harried about all the stuff you didn't do over the year and worry about the expense of the holiday season.

Really odd that overseas owned corps rotting beaches and waterways don't have the same scrutiny as market stalls in Tasmania

Gosh. And that's me swearing when my regular extremely potty-mouth is just gasping for new obscenities. A bit irked with some things. Golly. #worldisnotfair

I did not discourage a Halloween hot sauce challenge for the small boys - with my extensive collection. And I triple matched for doses. I guess that makes me either a bad adult or a great one.

Can the loading bay issues PLEASE be fixed? Nobody here needs yet another reason for touring performances not to come to Launceston.

Do you know what I think would help the housing speculation that is rife in this country? Long-term leases.
It is normal to have long-term leases all over the world, yet here investors can buy and sell, turf when they want to increase rent. If investors couldn't?

I'm sorry, what were British Airways doing sponsoring a Louis Theroux show if they were not prepared for "politically sensitive or controversial subjects" #BobVylan #LouisTheroux #BritishAirways bahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Count the ways I adore goats. Probably my spirit animal. Would love to see this employed in Tasmania:
When it comes to fire hazard reduction, could this method actually be the GOAT?
Goats are low-maintenance weed clearers, meadow mowers and bush bashers – and they might just be the secret weapon to future bushfire season preparedness

Mum rang to ask curry advice. I told her to look in the top freezer drawer bc I store herbs there. As she rootled around: "Curry leaves, oh good - more coriander root, excellent! Oh, there's my dead dunnart!" NOTHING speaks more about my mum than there being a dead dunnart in the freezer #Tasmania

Tedious work means I've eaten so many poppadoms and chilli-spiked yogurt this afternoon that I just know there are going to be issues in the future. #eatwork #oof #snacksforwork

I need to go to karaoke. This is a visceral need: nobody here appreciates my singing in the kitchen while cooking and I know it's not good but, after so much immersion in 80s pub rock recently I feel the need to get Chrissy on in my life.

When I receive an email from Kiva that someone in Gaza, or Sierra Leone, or South Sudan has paid me back $1 from a loan I gave years ago I just cry. Every time I have gotten a job I have made new loans, bc the world needs micro-loan charities like Kiva. I wish I was rich. For the right reasons.

I am old and I don't know things, clearly, despite being brought up in a record store; how did I not recognise the ska influence on Midnight Oil? It's like, duh, watching these old videos now.

Don't tell me the first time I ever subscribe to a YouTube channel is because I'm suckered into watching first time reviews of Midnight Oil tracks. I mean, that could be so typically me it's not funny. Not least because I only know these things exist because of the Guardian.
