There is no greater measurement of the start of the Australian warm season than a perpetually-freezing #ItalianGreyhound deploying #PancakeMode™️ on toasty patio pavers.

Pretzel/noodle dog (Aldo) loves to chase sunbeams (he's an Italian Greyhound but that's just a mini-whip anyway so same-same)

**meep**

I finally watched the #JaneGoodall "last words" special on Netflix and nope, definitely not crying like a baby over here, not me, no sirree...

Juvenile? Yes.

Did it still make me laugh? Also, yes.

"Sigh. I really hate this job."

"Seriously, thanks. I'll peck your eyes out last in the coming apocalyptic melee. Or first? Oh man. Okay, I guess what I'm saying is, the boss is kind of strict about the no-special-treatment thing, so the eyes have got to go either way, but you can pick the method - beak or claw."

"Hey! Cheers for the bath friend, being a harbinger of doom is surprisingly dusty work."

Ahhhhh #bliss

Moment of appreciation for this homemade #vegetarian onigirazu I successfully attempted for dinner tonight.

(Not as pretty as the original, but very delicious)

Throwback to this time last year and this delicious shade of slate grey off the #Helensburgh pier, near the point where the River Clyde and Gare Loch meet, west of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park in #Scotland.

I probably stood staring at this glossy, moody water for 30 full minutes.

This time last year we climbed down some troll steps and found ourselves in a magical land of moss and light.

(Tried to get Hubs to drink the waters to prove he wasn't an English spy, but he declined. Suspicious.)

Just so that you know, I will at least 40% judge a book by the front matter quotes.

Rachael, you had me at "arrow".

(The problem with buying 5 new books in a single weekend is that I want every single one to immediately absorb into my brain which is, alas, impossible)

Absolutely stellar line up at Writers Assemble! put on by @flindersuniversity.bsky.social at the Institute building at the State Library this weekend.

I have, however, once again managed to walk out of a writers event very rich in motivation and very poor in Book Dollars™...

...I am okay with this
