Yesterdays storms were bad enough... I guess todays storms will be worse?
November 27, 2025 at 5:26 AM
Meanwhile I am thinking Tuesday might be pleasant, but heat and wind on the weekend looks warm. No really big hot days yet though. Summer is coming in slowly!

Hello from a relatively pleasant early summer... You should come visit Oz!

Uhhhh....

Oh no.

I usually score so high in these...

Here's a pretty flower dad grew to hopefully cheer you both up.

Hang in there, my sisters! Monday afternoon after work isn't too bad, I have tested it out, and it's waiting for you!

I admit, I don't know why I found this announcement by a fellow teacher so funny, but its arrival in my inbox caused me to laugh, and still has me giggling when I see it. I guess it does sort of show the exasperation we experience when trying to move yr12 out of their yr11 mindset? Or something?

XKCD appropriate for today: xkcd.com/2347/

Remarkable what will bring down all the infrastructure so simply.

In little kids picture books. Not real life. I have never seen a diamond shaped kite for sale, bought a delta in Aldi last month though.

Try going to any beach, park or arboretum where there's a kite festival (Festival of the Winds is on in Bondi this month, I think? Nope, apparently September.)

Sunny day. Happy cats.

Ah, part of the amusement for me is that it is not the original crown, so it is gold-coloured, not made of pure solid gold. Like the weird wall decorations. The look on Trumps face is pure avarice. He certainly likes gold-coloured stuff, but doesn't see the joke is there.

Year 12 Modern History certainly gives our students a perspective on current events.

I tend to see wild snakes more than pet snakes, but I took care of a diamond python for a year when a friend went overseas.

He looked a lot like this python, which was in my back yard a few weeks ago.

A sunbath, in which Persephone appears to have melted into nothing but tail and legs and an enormous pink tongue. I am glad cats self assemble again after they melt into random parts.

A pleasant sunbath in the cool green grass.

I need to cut my lawn....

Thessa is over the itchyness of shedding into a summer coat at this point, but still needs a lot of licks to keep herself as blindingly white as possible.

Meanwhile Mint Slice is a single hard round biscuit, with a layer of mint creme, and dipped in chocolate. If you like mint oreos, you would like these a lot! Yanks have told me they taste a little bit like "Thin mints" but never fed me any, so I do not know if this is true.

Chocolate biscuit. What Aussies call chocolate cookies. (American "biscuits" are called "scones" here, rhymes with "poms").

Tim Tams are an Arnotts biscuit. Two hard chocolate biscuits around chocolate cream, dipped in chocolate. There is an export Tim Tam but it isn't as good, unfortunately.

Typical Aussie equivalent, for reference purposes. Banh Mi bakeries can have queues around the block.

Ingredients include ham, roast pork, pickled meat, meat paste, egg slices, pickled veges, raw carrot, coriander, chilli, radish, cucumber, onion, etc, soy sauce, chilli sauce, and so on and on....

Yes, I am going through old Thessa archives. She works hard to keep those white bits white. #blep.... #mlem even.

Thessa; Lots of mascara, some tricolour beans, and a curled up paw. She is such a pretty girl!

The ones for the Girl Genius books are pretty, and I am increasingly tempted to plate the wrong books with my ones for some silly reason! Studio foglio offers them as KS extras.

Demon Thessa! She is breaking the stick into tiny pieces. #Teefies are so very #adorables.
