The weather here has been so rubbish, nearly blew my beanie off yesterday 😑 Makes what to wear a crapshoot, but Im not looking forward to the heat exactly either. These monster trees in civic would be just the ticket for a backyard, I've got a balcony garden, 🏡,not exactly homesteading🫠

Been taking an extended ADHD break from painting, as in, well just haven't. Busy 🫠bit of inspiration, some of the great pics ive taken over a few years, so cool to just be able to do that with a phone so easily.
Remember the 90's? When the first digital cameras were shit?

Nice job! I saw this dramatic wildlife scene at a roadside stop, took a pic and felt compelled to try and paint it, this is the result -ant vs caterpillar!!
Can you feel the tension? 😦

Scored some free jade plants, awesome!! Only thing I've been able to grow reliably is another crsssula ive got. And scored some dirt cheap stencil brushes, never used them. But I'm hoping to solve an issue with dabbing coverage . All very technical and painty you know. 🤨

Some of this shit needs to change.
Seriously .ibs gotta go for a start. They are traitors now.
I haven't been to Parliament house at night, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the neon coat of arms blinked or fizzed, or had a section out like those dodgy looking massage places.

Up at 3.30am, been a regular thing for a while now. No idea how that happened, but it actually works ok for me! Decaf, sit in my comfy chair, ponder stuff, consider going back to bed, to up my passion meds, which admittedly may be why I'm getting up mostly. Still plenty of rest of seems.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not so sure native animal squeaky dog toys, really send the right message.

Came across these. Silicon oven mittens, absolutely fantastic!
Not for the oven so much, but for my left hand, which has a degree of #lymphoedema .i was just putting a damn xl glass sandwich bag over it, aaaaand let me tell you, that sucks and is a rubbish solution. This, will work a treat 🫠@Coles

On the shadow of "king George" , from the citizens of Australia, celebrating his "reign" no less.
A statue of making who didn't want to be a king, overlooking a people who didn't want one, by a people whom also didn't want one. Yet his statue still stands, in all its impotence and absurdity.

Today's flag report, yup still there. Just filthy weather early this morning, no way is very the pics I was after, which is fine, want feeling up to it anyway 🫠
So the flag pole itself is lopsided, due to me, but I'm intrigued how large sections, structural elements , vanish before my eyes 👇

Sweet, what a game, Maroons first conversion. Intense, and only going to get more intense by the looks.
Latrelle Mitchell has looked ominous already I think.

These pics are from the aboriginal #tentembassy in #canberra , a long standing, and long completely illegal and unrecognised but tolerated I guess, testament to the utter bastardry of our, and various other "governments" and their traditions. 👇

And here's me, standing in front of various things around the old parliament house lawns, turns out there's some pretty drab and genteel areas for doing various very little things adjacent to the old house. Tennis courts, grape vines, rotunda variations, a croquet or bowling green by the looks. 👇

Got out getting some pictures this morning, very foggy. Very. Looking toward civic, and some of old parliament house, was hoping for a dramatic pic of mt Ainslie appearing through the mist, but not quite.
