Heads-up to parents of young kids - If, like me, you occasionally run out of ideas for bedtime stories then chatGPT is great at turning out funny little stories when prompted, and your kids can even make special requests for settings, names and characters etc. Very helpful at end of a long day.

Enjoying a short holiday in Hobart (we used to live here) … 1. It’s still stunningly beautiful. 2. Why did I pack my puffer jacket? #tasmania

Was a tough night at the MCG sitting surrounded by Hawks fans but this moment got me out of my seat, and made it all worth it. Welcome to Essendon Isaac Kako. Bombers were not blown away and should be better next week.

There does seem to be growing momentum for Bluesky, and a sense also that X / Twitter has gone down a path many do not want to follow.

Yay for my home town of #Melbourne! Have also lived in Sydney and Melb has it beat.
Have visited:
Bangkok - Love it! So vibrant.
London - Um … Good public transport?
I’ve never been and unlikely to ever visit Cape Town. May visit New York one day (not in next four years though).

My favourite obscure fact about Australia ... You can actually walk between Victoria and the island state of Tasmania as - due to a cartography stuff-up 200 years ago - there is a (very short) land border.

Here’s a map of Melbourne’s major bike paths, in the style of the London tube map. Helpful to plan trips but best to check the distances involved!

If your stuff is on a red ship, definitely won't be here by #christmas. If it's on a green ship, probably still not here in time. 🧑🎄🎁🎄
