Update: It looks like my friend in hospital will survive. He has significant injuries but should recover in time. Though the emotional injuries will take much longer 😔 I will visit him as soon as he's well enough.
That road crash at Tumby Bay today. Just found out it was friends of mine. One dead. One critical and flown to RAH. This is terrible.

And now the neighbour is giving me grief about the apple trees.
Despite me telling her that I'd just had surgery, she wanted me to take my green bin over and help her fill it. "I'm an old lady. You expect me to do it?" she said. I may have said the f word 😠

The latest rabid, rancid, racist denunciations of Muslim Australians by Pauline Hanson are unambiguously #hatespeech. As so many decry “anti semitism” actual or perceived, how is Hanson not buried in opprobrium? She practises the most cynical of opportunistic politics. Will #AngusTaylor condemn her?

The deck chairs in the Liberal party have been moved, but the people are the same, and alas their thinking and ideology against renewables and for fossil fuels and nuclear persist as we’ve seen these days so far. #auspol #renewables

You can not take citizenship from an Australian citizen. The high court has made it clear. If you are Australian, you are allowed entry into Australia. Doesn’t mean authorities won’t follow up or monitor you, but short of a complete border closure, you can’t be denied entry.

I am staying at my daughter's place to recover ... and Lawson came to my bedroom to say good morning.
I'm good, btw. It all went well.
Woke up in a bit of pain but they gave me all the good stuff 🤪

There might be a shortage of photos from me for a while.
I will be having surgery this afternoon.
I have very good support, an excellent surgeon, and a great prognosis.
I would welcome good wishes (but I can't promise that I'll respond).

This is a very entertaining thread 😂
Best friend was suddenly hospitalised and asked me to dump her vibrators so her son didn't find them. Been driving around with them in a bin bag in the boot for three weeks as I don't know which bloody bin they should go in.

I want to add that her spots look like stardust ✨
A red-tailed black-cockatoo in someone's backyard at Sunset Strip, New South Wales.
You can tell that this one is a female by the spots on its face.
