Galloping into 2026 like Lady Godiva.

Trying to sell a house.
Cheap.
Historic.
No working kitchen or bathroom.

Southern Hemisphere is entering Winter
Cold nights, short days
We're still in drought
The World is still beautiful.
Grateful for the company of people who love me, & for living in Australia, where voting in Elections is both Compulsory AND Democratic

Insanity has no boundaries
Apparently he who can't be named has destroyed the Weather prediction service by sacking the meteorologists
I keep saying this... both operationally and in research, the situation is still much worse than most people seem to realize or want to accept.
NEW: US weather forecasting is in worse shape than previously known, with 30 NWS forecast offices missing meteorologists-in-charge and about a dozen offices at risk of no longer serving their communities 24/7. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

Wonderful Moonrises this week. Sunset coinciding, lighting up the clouds.
Calm seas and full tides, making a staircase to the Moon.

Australian politics, an insightful view from Laura Tingle.
Wow. ABC political analysis, Laura Tingle lays out the history of LNP broken promises…
Empty promises, no real policies, and no costings prior to the election.

Dutton will slash the public service and employ private contractors. Their profligacy is legendary.

How beautiful
And how incomprehensible that we can see this?
Twelve million light-years away lies the galactic masterpiece Messier 83, also known as the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy.

Its swirling spiral arms display a high rate of star formation and host six detected supernovae.
