  1. @mythologyandhistory The start of Perth sea breezes. #windsurfing season. No more thick wet suits and regular daily 20knot winds. Sitting around at the beach with friends saying a touch less wind or a smaller sail or foil would be good. I'm starting to get excited just thinking about it. Oh and the #afl grand final of course.

    Wondering if there are means to make magnifying lenses accurately other than by trial and error or with maths?
    Any #LensMakers #TelescopeMaking #Opticians around here?

  3. Nice! I liked #BULGARIA (& the whole world celebrated that they got more points than *them*)

    #eurovision

  5. I liked when Delta Goodrem's piano transformed into an unplayable platform.

    Or when Finland's fairy's bowstrings broke.

  7. Lordi singing "Kisses for Me" is the best #eurovision moment yet.

  9. Sometimes I go into YouTube & search for videos of "The Black Bottom" or the Charleston & imagine the 20 something year olds horrified #Victorian parents.

    The contrast between these generations was just so much more extreme than anything us living generations can imagine!

    (Video of the Black Bottom for your scandalous amusement:)

  10. Did you know that #Korea has a #magical #dog breed?

    The Sapsalgae are a fluffy, good-natured breed that is said to ward off evil spirits and bad luck. They are also majestically thick-coated, which almost led to their extinction during the #Japanese occupation of Korea.

    The Japanese colonists used the dog's pelts as winter coats. By the 1980s they were down to 8 animals.

    A geneticist saved their DNA & the numbers now are up to a few thousand.

  15. CW: NBA so hopefully still historical 😌

    #Spurs playing right now. The plays so far have been a bit mid, but I believe!

    (Mildly confused why the blue of the fan shorts doesn't match the turquoise of the fiesta colours...)

  16. Did you know that #Mao #Zedong didn't speak Mandarin?

    He was a native of Shaoshan, Hunan province, which spoke Old Xiang. It made it hard for some people to understand him, while others saw him as unsophisticated.

    Interestingly, Mao also decided to learn English instead of the (in 1950) more common Russian.

  17. For some #history background: this, today, was only the 6th national address in #Australia ever.

    The first was in 1941 regarding OZ being at #war with #Japan. One address concerned Australia's controversial history with its #indigenous owners, #COVID, #iraq war & 2008 financial crisis & now Iran fuel crisis.

    The format itself is highly unusual & reserved only for actual crises. Australia is currently at level 2 of its 4 stage fuel emergency plan.
