Nah, I lost all hope years ago when I realised there was no turning this ship around 😉

Now, now.

I didn't come down in the last storm.

I'm sure the FF industry is still pulling the strings, but I'm also pretty certain we won't see another collusion bw the MCA and the Oz running 12 consecutive front pages on a single issue.

Also, the PM seems to remember slights, so this tracks.

I've got native bees and my neighbours have these trees. Booo.

So, very happy to see the cockies will get into it.

Yeah, might be time to pack in the outside work before I cark it.

Ow.

I uncovered these guys accidentally, quickly took a snap, put the cover back and backed away slowly.

One of them immediately jumped up and stung a nearby native cockroach. Sorry little guy 😬

The important thing is*, Tim once again has a fat six figure job where he can do as much or as little work as he feels like.

Great idea.

Geez, that's some wild terrain you have over there.

We had a cold snap last week with overnight temps all the way down to 17c. Locals breaking out their winter gear.

Cracks me up every time.

I was talking to my backyard magpies anyway but now I'm feeling validated.

Good work.
