Am waiting outside Perth Stadium for the cricket and confirm the crowd is already huge. Biggest cricket crowd I’ve ever seen here (including sold out big bash finals etc). #Ashes

I’m only part way through but had to take a little rest after the 62nd of 200 pics; after the fruit bat floor mosaic, which is brilliant, and the golden retriever ceiling fan which … needs a Matt Berry narration.
This is the most insane house I've ever seen, like Randyland and the Winchester mansion had a baby. At no point did I know what was coming in the next picture, nor could I guess the next line in the description. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

What a magnificent day 1 of test cricket! Looking forward to tomorrow #AUSvIND My hot take is: at this point Australia may as well take all the streaky runs we can get rather than a disciplined 1 (42).
