Another amazing @everythingopen.au sesh. On the ethics of Open in her pres Everything Open All At Once, @itgrrl.com asks us to “think hard about the choices we make, the values we hold…
Are we thinking more about what we *could* rather than what we *should*?”

Well, hello, gorgeous 😍 Beautiful water for a row this morning. At the Torrens instead of West Lakes as yesterday’s weather was horrendous. Today was calm, lovely & my first River Torrens row since high school! Glad to be back after several weeks off from injury & illness 😌🚣‍♀️🥰
