Grubs like Watters exist because A, Murdoch pays him to be a grub & B, there is no B, Murdoch is the sole reason Grubs like him are in the media.

Sunday morning church service Tochni Cyprus.

IH8SHOCKJOX 🇦🇺🌈 proudly voted YES @ih8shockjox.bsky.social · 5d

Having a quick break in Cyprus in the small village of Tochni. The seasonal rains failed this year & it's exceedingly dry. Tochni is a classic Greek style stone village without the stonewash or blue colouring. Cyprus is the word 'Copper' derives from. Here for a few days then on the Jordan.

Almost no new home construction for decades but there has been a lot of civil works

Our White Waratah has bucked convention. It had over 20 flower heads this year but 1 flower head had 4 flowers & two others sprung smaller pup like flowers from the main flower. I have never known anything like it.

Depends, where & when. When I've had long holidays, I usually do it as soon as the flights are open then I book accommodation & attractions etc. Long haul flights, I book my seat at the same time if I can.

I repotted one of my Costal Banksias (Banksia Integrifolia). I removed about 2cm off the bottom of the roots, then scrapped the sides, teased & cut away some smaller side roots. Repotted in fresh soil & sitting in a saucer of shaded water. Progressive amounts of full sun for the first week or so.

I gave my Black She-oak (Allocasuarina Littoralis) some tough love in Autumn & pleased to see some new shoots emerging on the main trunk.

My Sydney Red Gum (Angophora Costata) is just about to shed it's bark again. I'm going to lightly prune the new growth & cut away some of the deadwood.

My Plunket Mallee (Eucalyptus Curtisii) is really coming along. I've had to wire branches to change it's centre of gravity and it's responded nicely.

An update. The 4 sad tubestock I bought last December are now on the way as Bonsais. The trunks on the Yellow Bloodwood, Rough Bark Apple & Swamp Mahogany are looking great (probably in the tubes for 3-4yrs). The Turpentine was the saddest, it's flourishing

I get an enormous amount of pleasure from my miniature Bonsais. In this group there's 3 types of Ficus & a Eucalypt.

You're right, America is finished simply because if it can happen once, it can and will happen again and again and again.

If anybody is interested in Trump's idiocy they just need to watch Murdoch News each night, the ABC shouldn't be platforming moronic domestic USA polices

Our ABC 7pm news platformed the Trump idiocy again tonight. Australian authorities have backed Paracetamol but yet ABC news had 2 minutes of Trump's thoughts, which will mean nowt here.

When you lose elections you don't get to make laws. So "This Goes With That" can dream on.

The ABC 7pm news just peddled the Charlie Kirk funeral as if he wasn't a racist misogynist prick. Not a mention that his alleged killer was a MAGA nut job.
