Apropos not much, daughter of Travis is an absolute doppelgänger for my beautiful granddaughter. Right down to the hair colour, button nose and big blue eyes.
Good times ahead, she* may well open for Australia one day or be a fearsome running half back for the #Baggers
*my granddaughter of course

Our part time 12 yo rescue puss just spent a day at the vet under anaesthetic to have three teeth removed and gums cleaned. This is the last remaining incisor.

I was a young tacker then but well remember when ‘it’s time’ Gough assumed power and later lost the federal election to big Mal due to perceived economic mismanagement.

Craig Tiley wants a statue of Djokovic outside Melbourne arena.
In fairness he also would like statues of Fed and Serena.
If the latter get their statues first then I guess I’m ok but would like Djoker’s statue to include a face mask and vax needle in the arm.

It’s not widely reported in the media but global warming data that you see reported combine land+ocean data.

#FrontierEconomics should provide what’s known as sensitivity analysis.

A horror story:
It was 430 this am.
I’m sound asleep
And then ‘tap, tap, tap, tap’
Something is not right.
Is there another being with me?
I close my eyes hoping it will go away
And then, again on my shoulder ‘tap, tap, tap’
I turn around, horrified, and yell
‘Ok I’ll feed you, you fat bastard’
