How far into your 50s do you still get to use the phrase "mid- fifties" ?

58 is still mid....isn’t it? Right? Yeah? 😔

Anyway, went to Donavan's restaurant. The food was very nice.

So, today, I learnt a thing…. Australian Sushi! What do you mean the world doesn’t eat sushi like this?
Yes, ‘Australian sushi’ exists. Get over it, argues Adam Liaw
An Aussie woman was called a “coloniser” for opening a NY shop selling Australian sushi. But Adam Liaw says it’s very much a thing – and anyone who disagrees simply hasn’t done their homework.

The Perfect Neighbor - Netflix (2025)

Told entirely thru police body cam and interview footage.

And then you hear about the “Stand Your Ground” laws of Florida.

*shakes one’s head

You know how baseball caps say "One size fits all" ?

THEY LIE!

The White Girl - Tony Birch

Set before Indigenous Australians were granted voting rights (1962) & full citizenship (1967). Depicts the practice of forcibly removing fair-skinned children from their families.

The fight and love to keep family together.

Laughed. Cried. Got angry

I reckon I've got the best lawn in the neighbourhood. If I do say so myself.

Oh, good God. I've turned into my father. 😃

Temperature forecasted to be 27 deg C today. I'll take that after a dreary rainy weekend.

Broken Archangel: The Tempestuous Lives of Roger Casement - Roland Philipps

Very detailed read on his work on the Congo, Amazon and the fight for Irish independence.

Would have liked a bit more of an insight into his childhood though.

Christmas in the City.

Sad looking Christmas decorations on Swanston Street and a "traditional English pub" Aussie style.

ALL HER FAULT - Binge (2025)

What started off as "spot the Melbourne location for a story set in Chicago" game turned into a rather enjoyable crime / thriller drama.

Sarah Snook is very good and carried the show.

The star jasmine is in full bloom, and the floral scent is going right through the house.

Quite lovely, really.

I’m an excited little Hristaki. You won’t be seeing me for weeks once it opens.
