Me to me:
What if I stuck eyes on a croissant?
(This is from a few years ago, but the result still makes me cackle)

We moved house today; halfway through I had the plumber in doing emergency repairs; and got stung by a wasp...in the bedroom...
But so happy here. It's a fixer-upper that we'll be fixer-upping... while we live in it.
How was your day?

On the first day of packing "Make sure to use the colour coded labels for each room!"
Five days later, still packing "grab the laundry basket, don't worry about emptying it, just chuck the saucepans in!"

Can't sleep, but need to sleep.
The gift of being able to sleep in peace is strangely unseemly.
To my #AusPol friends, it's been a long sad night, take care of each other.
There will be a lot of hateful comments here when we wake in the morning - don't take the bait.

I lived a third of my life in Sydney (20yrs), many of them in the eastern subs & several in the inner west. Had the privilege of teaching many international students.
Just absolutely heartsick about the Bondi shooting.
Saddened for the Jewish community, & concerned for the Muslim community.

This year has seen the largest number of Aboriginal deaths in custody since records began in 1980.
This is a national shame and tragedy.
How many more First Nations people will die before the federal government acts?

TRUMP: Uhhhh. Well it looked like they were trying to turn back over the boat. But I don't get involved in that. That's up to them.
