  3. Multiple media reports starting late last year suggest that the current owners of Big Splash in Belconnen are struggling with the upkeep required. It doesn't take much imagination to see another large, water-based facility get closed and sold off - I'm looking at you, Woden Pool.

    The article below has a link to a petition which needs only 250 more digital signatures "has to receive 300 more (for a total of 500 or above) by 28 February to be referred to a government committee inquiry for discussion."

    Suggestions include asking the government to take it on or at least assist in getting it back on track as well as approaching other pool operators to take it on.

    This is a valuable community resource, at which I have happy memories from my own teenage days as well as my own kids.

  4. I've seen two 7pm bulletins now with Greg Jennett, and something is obviously missing.

    Yuma and yarra.

    Is this just a thing Greg is not doing, or is ABC Canberra not doing it at all anymore? Why has it stopped?

  5. @[email protected]

    Much warmer last night, with lots of really tiny #beetles in among the scarabs (still mostly Phyllotocus macleayi).

    The second frame includes a garden #katydid, Caedicia simplex, with more colourful legs than most. (#Tettigoniidae)

    Frames 3 and 4 both include a darkling #beetle of the genus Tanychilus (#Tenebrionidae, #Alleculinae)

  6. I saw Grease tonight at the NFSA theatre.

    Watching one of the ultimate feel good movies with a couple of hundred other people is a top drawer community experience.

    If fact, I'd go so far as to say that 'it's electrifying'.

    It's one of my wife's top 3 films and we went with kids and their partners and had another cracker movie experience at the NFSA.

  8. This doesn't need to be puréed, but it can be. The original recipe calls for chicken stock, but vegetable stock works just fine! The original recipe calls for butter, but any vegetable oil can be used (since it's just for sautéing). A warm and nourishing soup for cold days!

    Carrot Ginger Soup (can be made as a vegan version)

    Serves 4-5

    Ingredients

    3 Tbsp unsalted butter
    1 1/2 pounds carrots (6-7 large carrots), peeled and sliced thin
    2 cups chopped white or yellow onion
    Salt
    1 teaspoon minced ginger
    2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
    2 cups water
    3 large strips of zest from an orange
    Chopped chives, parsley, dill or fennel for garnish

    Method:

    1. Sauté onions and carrots: Melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat and cook the onions and carrot, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften, about 5 to 8 minutes. Do not let the onions or carrots brown. Sprinkle a teaspoon of salt over the carrots and onions as they cook.

    2. Add stock and water, ginger, and strips of orange zest. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the carrots soften, about 20 minutes.

    3. Remove the strips of orange zest and discard.

    4. Purée soup: Working in small batches, pour the soup into a blender and purée until completely smooth. Only fill the blender bowl a third full with the hot liquid and keep one hand pressing down on the cap of the blender to keep it from popping off.

    Add more salt to taste.

    Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or fennel fronds (I prefer parsley or cilantro).

    Freezes well! Great to make lunch-sized portions!

  10. An opportunity just dropped to support the re-election campaign for our local MP here in #canberra

    Do you support being represented in parliament by a low-profile, careerist passenger?
    - Who fails to represent the values of Canberrans with respect to the #Genocide in #Gaza?
    - Applauds the State Capture of #Australia by the #FossilMafia ?
    - Sits on her hands while the deliberately terrible #NACCtheNACC is stood up and fails to deliver?
    - Does nothing while new coal and gas mines are approved during a #climatecrisis ?
    - Attacks the #Greens and progressive Indies for their calls to take meaningful action on the #housingcrisis instead of stupid punts on the stock market like the HAFF?
    - Sits idly by while #whistleblowers are persecuted yet Zionist war criminals are protected and feted by our appalling Attorney General?
    - Politely averts her gaze from the gifting of our sovereignty to an increasingly rogue United States?

    Then do I have an event for you, #auspol !! You can even pay the 'solidarity' price in recognition of the due process and solidarity not afforded by the political wing of the union movement to the #CFMEU after they starred in a Channel 9 TV show.

    (More seriously, I'd be genuinely interested to see if anyone turns up to this. Also, I can gob off like this confidentshe only has social media accounts on the terrible platforms (X and Meta) - of course. Can't even tag her on Mastodon. Ugh).

    I cannot wait till the era of 'safe seats' is officially behind us.

    This post might seem early, but the guys up the road are already dyno'ing something that sounds like it could bring about the end of the world if they pressed the wrong button on it, and it's never too early to start looking after your body.

  14. Canberra deserves a team in the #AFL and #AFLW. You don't have a truly national league, or a truly national sport, without a club representing the national capital. And with Tasmania coming in, no better time to create one and make the competition an even 20 teams 😊

  15. Well, the new MyWay+ system is definitely having teething trouble - I got a free ride on my first leg this morning because the driver didn't know how to use the new system (too complicated, he said), and on the second leg I wound up tapping on twice instead of tapping off.

    Also, whilst cards work, the QR codes didn't.
