"Tuesday Twinkle"
Teableau for 06/09/26

I only have to look at polkadots to immediately feel happier than I did before I looked at polkadots.

https://phys.org/news/2025-09-potential-aussie-health-honeys.html - "University of the Sunshine Coast researchers experienced in authenticating #manuka #honey have developed a new rapid, affordable test that can help identify the next premium #Australian honeys."
Cheeky Aussies stealing NZ's native language, but they do have far more #Leptospermum species than we do, apparently.

Mānuka. Queens Park, in the native plant area #Invercargill Southland, New Zealand #Leptospermum scoparium. Various forms. 14 November. #Native NZ

I think this is a #manuka. Aka LeptospermumScoparium, (Māori pronunciation: maːnʉka), New Zealand teatree, broom tea-tree, or just tea tree.

It is native to New Zealand and south-east Australia.

Its nectar produces Mānuka honey.

Love it’s tiny flowers - this series of bushes measured around 4 x 2 metres and was waist height (around a metre).

Pic taken just on sunset.

It's very inspiring to learn that some masters have made their own unique tools to create high-level masterpieces.
Just look at Weta and their Manuka! They make incredible CG and they had to create an entire program for this.

This makes me wonder whether it's possible to do really great things using ordinary tools?
