The Doofenschmirtz two nickels meme, thus: “If I had a nickel for every time Guillermo del Toro made a movie with a beautifully jacked creature with healing powers who fell in love with a pretty English actress and also the creature couldn’t drown I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.”

New musicals of Working Girl! Romy and Michelle! The Queen’s Gambit!
White bread, rice and a puddle of cream, because that’s what the big new musicals are.

200-clue streak, baby!

Screenshot showing that I unashamedly need to get out more instead of solving little puzzles.

I get a little thrill when Side 1 is opposite Side 4.

How it started, about a day and a half ago, and how it’s going.
Script with draft lyrics scrawled all over it. Sexy music notation and fabulous actors turning straw to table-read gold.

This is the greatest piece of acting in the nation right now.
A person shopping at Woolworths is presently surprised by the total on her receipt instead of howling "Holy snapping duck fuck, I bought three things, what in the smoking shitcakes is going on with you greedy cockheads?"

Local Italian eatery Pota Pasta has moved to a mobile food trailer, so here's a tribute to the magnificent sign they had by their door.
Handwritten sign, made of paper bags taped to the glass, reads: "We don't sell: ----> Chicko roll, cigarettes, newspapers, burgers, chips, salad rolls, fish and chips, any deep-fried food, any Aussie specials, no pies, no sausage rolls. We are not a servo. Can you see those weird looking 3 colour flags above you? That's called Italian flag, meaning we have Italian food. Hope you get it ◡̈ "

Shame on the ABC. This traumatised the whole family.

Many thanks to everyone who puts #minutecryptic together! I’m generally not good with streaks, and these stats mean little against many a full crossword.
Stats chart of my efforts.

Power outage = fireplace and crossword

Not pictured: early morning coffee run
In the foreground, a Guardian cryptic crossword, not yet begun; in the background, a wood fire in soft focus.

Mist creeping over the backyard when it’s only 5:20pm. Things get a little gothic this close to the river.
My bottom paddock, which floods pretty readily, bears a light sheen of mist, later to become a bloody thick fog.

On a scale of 1-12, what Kuleshov Effect are you today?

From the liner notes. Zito! Take that, Google.
From the inner sleeve of the Phil Oakey & Giorgio Moroder album: on the left, half of a leather jacket is shown adorning half of a Phil Oakey; on the right, against a mustard background, dark text credits Richie Zito with guitars on the album.

Thinking I knew him, I smiled at a passerby, but he was not in fact the Rick Rubin meme.

Times being a bit fraught, here are some gorgeous cherry tomatoes for you.

The variety, aptly, is “blue berries”.
A single truss of cherry tomatoes is surrounded by leaves of the customary green, while the tomatoes themselves are a surprising dark purple.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Celebrating by attacking the malfunctioning septic tank, as is traditional in my family.
A pair of grass shears is held up before an impressively overgrown area of grass, hiding the septic tank it should not

Two dills, each just under 6ft tall.
Peter, a puzzled look upon his grizzled features, looks at a dill plant that is the same height as him. In Australia a dill is also a foolish person, so that makes two.

Wait, something I was supposed to remember about the freezer… eh, I’m sure it’s nothing.
A bottle of Pellegrino water, its structural integrity unable to withstand the force of expanding water as it freezes, has asploded from the bot-bot.

I hung a bunch of unironed shirts together and it looks like that episode of Friends where Joey put on all of Chandler’s clothes.
A bulgy upper torso made entirely of many shirts collected on one hanger.

Tfw finishing a @dontattempt.bsky.social cryptic after nine months. You don’t want to rush these things.

Thanks, David! Loved 18a especially.
