I don’t think I could do dairy milk Cadbury’s and Vegemite, but the Vegemite and cheese scrolls are great, just the right amount (light) of Vegemite and a hint of cheese. Yeah it was very good, but the ones I get from my local cafe that they buy fresh from the bakery each morning are even better.

So just now I had this for lunch:

It was delicious.

You’re welcome… 😎🇦🇺

I watched the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize announcement live. A simple, dignified announcement. They made the right decision.

This below is Maria Corina Machado’s in real time reaction to finding out a few minutes before the public knew.

Two humble people with integrity: youtu.be/Viumh9LKKvc?...

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

The Four Corners report on Trumps finances that this respected Australian journalist (John Lyons) was working on is on on Monday night Sydney time 💔🇦🇺 Watch it with a VPN if you need to: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Also, even though I dress like Steve Jobs, I did buy these spiffy fluro bamboo work socks. Because you always need happy socks! 👋☕️🇦🇺

Thanks Mary. 🎵’I get by with a little help from my friends’🎵
👋☕️

In today’s great news: After a fortnight (2 weeks) of not leaving the house, my left foot is healing well and…

I picked up my new boot today!
Ironically it’s a tradie ‘non-safety’ boot because the steel safety cap toe in my last boot injured my foot 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🤷😳

This boot balances my moon boot well 👋☕️🇦🇺

Linguists are predominately ‘language mechanics’ but a lot of us learn the languages we work in…

So this came to mind today… The people in the video were Australian television presenters at the time.

(As a bonus it is pretty catchy)
👋☕️🇦🇺

I have a choice while I’m healing this infected foot…

I was an evangelical when my right foot deformed. In my head was awful

Now my left foot is infected. But this time I have experience, and I’m studying Stoicism. It’s been so different

It still is a lot, but it is so much lighter and focused 👋☕️

Thanks Deb! 👋☕️

We’re back on track! Good to see you Bee 👋☕️

You too Linda! 👋☕️

I’m a ‘hiking poler’ because I’m learning to walk again after a long illness

Did a thing to my ‘good foot’ and it got infected. Have a great medical team around me and we jumped into action…

So I’m not going to lose my ‘good foot’

Very relieved. Not everything is wrong in the world today
❤️🇦🇺🌏

Trump’s pick is embarrassing around the world.

This was a hard watch as an Australian since it was one of us that attacked Christchurch and changed their gun laws, that Patel should have known about before his ridiculous choice of ‘gift’.

Because the whole world is the US right?

Three of Australia’s largest manufacturers will receive a total of $12 million to demonstrate technologies aimed at reducing Australia’s industrial emissions.

If someone (eg in a taxi or shop) asks how your day’s been, please don’t say ‘Can’t complain, nobody listens anyway’

It’s not cute or kind. It’s the fastest way to get me to regret asking

If you’re going through something, feel free to talk w/out dumping

But please don’t waste people’s kindness 🤷

This below gives this Aussie so much joy… ❤️🇦🇺
Just calling it as it is Mate. No worries here… 👋😂🇦🇺

Occassionally I’ll watch sermons, to see how deconstructed me responds

It’s so weird watching from the outside. Especially as a Linguist (language scientist)

One just said ‘Knowledge given through Christian love gives clarity’

No it doesn’t! Knowledge given through clear discourse gives clarity 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey lady with young boy in the takeaway I’ve just walked into…
Don’t think I didn’t notice you shielding the boy from me.

I’m used to this hiddenness, but if you keep doing this he’ll copy your weird reaction and miss out on knowing some great people in his community.

I noticed, he does too. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At the cafe earlier because I have a long day ahead of me…

Barista takes my order of a double espresso, instead of the usual long black or cafe latte on oat…

Other barista goes: ‘Here two hours early, ordering a double espresso… I don’t know who you are anymore.’ 🤣👋☕️🇦🇺

Thanks for telling me about this, had a gift certificate to a bookstore so picked this up. Looks really good.
❤️🇦🇺📚
