It is a slur. It’s rhyming slang. Yank = Septic tank. Septic Tank becomes Seppo.

I’ve had my nearly 15 year old son assigned to dishwasher duty since he was 11 and I’ve allowed him to work out how to load a dishwasher properly via trial and error. The errors become the plate/bowl his next meal is served on. Lessons learnt quickly without a word being said.

It’s a trap. A good trap, but still a trap.

They absolutely did that.

The stadium was our idea. We commissioned the study into what it would take to have a viable team in Tasmania and took that to the AFL and after a bit of pestering from us that was the deal we got with a tight timeline and lots of expensive penalties if we don’t meet the tight timeline.

While you occasionally see an individual person arrive at a moment that swings their world view from far right to left or far left to right as movements they can’t work together. The gap between them can’t be bridged.

The political continuum is almost a circle but it doesn’t join and there is a chasm between the far left and right. While they both end up in a place where they see unfairness in the world caused by powerful forces they took a vastly different and antagonistic journey to get there.

Neil was a very good batsman but Alan offers depth.

It’s been a brutal cropping season. The combination of wind and rain has been unrelenting. Add that to the protracted hot dry autumn and everything is wildly out of kilter.

Looks short of an all rounder. Maybe Alan Davidson but I’m not sure who he displaces.

Time to rest.

Ok. I looked. Too many people use that meme ironically for something minor. In this case it was the correct use of the meme. Good lord indeed.

This is what my father referred to them as when I was growing up but he was on his own with that one.

In the meantime, I think I need to mend the shredder if I’m going to get into composting seriously. Woody material needs breaking down more.

Last heap is the weeds from this spring. Mostly grasses and thistles. I think this one will break down a lot faster. Covered with bedding straw from the chicken shed and suspect I’ll mix the last two heaps together in autumn and that should get the balance right.

The next heap (summer garden waste which had too much woody material in it and weedy bulbs) isn’t going well. Turned it over and covered with bedding straw from the chicken shed.

I use it to track evapotranspiration for the purpose of irrigation scheduling and that data is now difficult to find and poorly presented. The new website falls well short of what’s needed for many of us in the Ag sector.
