A fleeting visit to Tokyo at the end of this #OffGridPod #InTheField. https://offgrid.tlmb.net/2026/07/12/in-the-field-ep-75/

It’s time to let our emotions out, maybe via an old song. Don’t you all feel better now?

Read 'em and weep: there'l be a new #InTheField episode of #OffGridPod out this Sunday.

Don’t panic, The General is fine. But it was a bit of a ride. #OffGridPod #InTheField https://offgrid.tlmb.net/2026/06/14/in-the-field-ep-74/

This time around, we bring you what might be called disastrous advice. But it’s all for the best, really.

Archival Log: DELTA-005. Our design philosophy centers on phenomena that resist categorization. Entities like the Tsukikago Servitors provide enough cues to recognize a pattern but never enough to deduce motive. By aiming for "fragmented understanding," we force the mind to seek logic in inscrutable systems. This shifts focus from explanation to the horror of implication—an existential dread born of systems operating by their own alien rules. #HorrorDesign #Incomprehensible #TTRPG #InTheField

Purple hyacinth orchid (Dipodium punctatum) at Mystery Bay, NSW. Only one plant out and only just starting to flower in late February near the ocean. I usually see this species flowering nearby from late November - this is probably the latest flowering I have seen (although it can apparently flower into March at some locations).

Last #InTheField #OffGridPod, for now at least, bounces around seeing bright colours in the dark. https://offgrid.tlmb.net/2026/02/08/in-the-field-ep-69/

Off-Grid, In The Field is a series of mini OGP episodes with just one host and The General. This time, we’re finding our way as best we can, and looking at all the shiny colours and lights.

After the latest #OffGridPod #InTheField, the General added "Footballer! Cricketer! There's loads of 'em!" #podcast https://offgrid.tlmb.net/2026/01/11/in-the-field-ep-67/

Large duck orchid (Caleana major) and sun orchid with spots (Thelymitra ixioides / Thelymitra juncifolia) near Karbeethong, East Gippsland, VIC.

Only made it down to East Gippsland on three mornings this spring / early-summer but still managed to see a good range of the regular locals (plus a couple of interesting new ones!)

Microtis parviflora (slender onion orchid) growing amongst the sun orchids at the back of the house - Corunna, NSW.

Grows here alongside Microtis unifolia (common onion orchid) which has shorter flowering stems with more crowded flowers at this location.

A few more late-flowering sun orchids with spots (Thelymitra ixioides / Thelymitra juncifolia) variations near Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC.

Only plants in part shade on the edge of the forest were still flowering in early November at this location - usually in slightly damper soils than the adjacent open grassland.

Rosy hyacinth orchid (Dipodium roseum) still flowering at Christmas at Corunna, NSW.

Only a few small scattered plants out this year at home with almost no meaningful spring rainfall and a dry start to summer. But quite a few larger flowering stems still out on the side of the road between Tilba and Narooma.

Late-flowering sun orchids with spots (Thelymitra ixioides / Thelymitra juncifolia) variations near Karbeethong, East Gippsland, VIC.

Quite a few different variations still in flower here in more shaded spots with protection from harsh afternoon sun when more exposed plants have all finished.

It's been another poor year for the hyacinth orchids (Dipodium) at home in Corunna, NSW - with most of the small patch of Dipodium variegatum not making it to flower at all after a very dry spring.

However in recent weeks several new short flower spikes have emerged much later than usual - although those that have started to flower only only have two or three flowers at most.

So good to see some new plants in new locations - hopefully there will be more large spikes of flowers next season if it rains a bit more in spring and early summer.

Sun orchids (Thelymitra) growing close together in open grassland west of Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC.

Sun orchids with spots (T. ixioides / T. juncifolia) growing alongside T. carnea and several different species in the T. pauciflora group can lead to some beautiful hybrids including T. x irregularis (top right).
