Missing my Bluesky fam! I've been on the road driving the east coast of Australia the past few days on my way to Tasmania for Christmas.

I'm sitting in Lakes Entrance finishing an abstract over coffee before heading to Melbourne. More photos coming soon!

I just fixed a broken door handle on my car. Took me ten minutes and I saved $500

Small victories 🤣

This supercell yesterday ripped through #Brisbane - golf-ball hail, rain, and our neighbour's palm tree snapped in half into our yard. Power went out but this morning the #Energex crews reconnected us again.

Setting out to cook caramelized fennel and ricotta risotto with pork loin on a Tuesday night was a little crazy, but the world has gone mad and fennel is super cheap right now (stirring = mindfulness!)

Totally worth it 😋

Super interesting - people generally don't like the sound of their own voice. But this study suggests that you'll only dislike it *if* you don't recognize it as yours...🎵👄

if you're ever feeling overwhelmed I highly recommend sitting next to a kookaburra for a while

So there WAS an #earthquake in #Brisbane - I could feel the house shaking and rumbling for a good 15 seconds 😱

I've been digitising my singing archive recently, and I came across an old program from a performance of Tom Stoppard's play 'Arcadia', which I saw at Eaton College in 1998 (a friend was the director.)

Guess which student was playing the character of Bernard Nightingale?

Tom Hiddleston 😯
