Ok Hive Mind. Grant and I have 3 nights in New Orleans in the second full week in March. Hit me up with your recommendations for things you wouldn’t miss (Tabasco factory is already on the list as is the yarn store in the French quarter). Anything else?

The WHO is really in a bind since the US has pulled funding. If this bothers you there is something you can do.

1 Dollar, 1 World
I have been at WHO for over 10 years. Like my colleagues, I have worked my butt off day and night to fight Covid and work towards universal access to health care. This place frustrates me every day.

We’ve struggled to get (to our palates) good guacamole since moving back to Aus. Tried making it. Two avos, finely diced shallot, teaspoon garlic, diced pickled jalapeños teaspoon chili flakes, juice of 1 lime and 1/4 bunch of cilantro (coriander). it’s pretty good, but not quite there.

Visited the Chihuly exhibition in the Adelaide botanical gardens today. It was amazing. And gave us a pretty good excuse to visit Adelaide for the first time in 20 years!

There are lots of things that suck about being small. Not being able to reach things, not being able to easily buy dresses off the rack, people tending to overlook you…

Economy class leg room is not one of those things
