  1. @PhoenixSerenity Cultural story time ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ. Moving out of home, Mum gave me sweet potato leaves (kamote) to grow. Shoved them in the garden bed in my #Perth uni student rental, never did anything with them, they just sat there and didn't die.

    Dug them up when my husband and I bought our first home. I turned 40 and started gardening. We literally put down roots. The sweet potato took off and now, not only do I cook it regularly, I was able to give it back to Mum, whose vines died an unfortunate death years ago at the hands of an overzealous lawnmower.

    It was so special earlier this year, the two of us in her garden bed in #Albany re-planting the kamote. Mum has Stage 4 cancer (she's doing really well right now) and it made me realise how important the sweet potato is for food, culture and family โค๏ธ

    (I'm actually so jealous because hers are growing better than mine - she even got flowers) #SweetPotato #Kamote

  3. Walked through #Goolugatup Heathcote in Applecross on a headland above the Derbarl Yerrigan Swan River.

    Many tall beautiful trees.

    But this is social media and we're looking at the large gum tree that has no large branches left on it.

    There are signs of large branches having broken off the massive trunk. Others have been cut off.

    And a chainsaw cut has been started on the trunk near its base.

    This tree may be a widowmaker.

    Trying to find the species.

  6. RE: rssfeed.media/@sbsfeed/1170707

    So both major parties are part of this and this is what it could have been
    1. Boats from #Japan or #France in less time and they would have been delivered and would have been ours not one we would have had to get the USA approval to use.
    2. We wouldnโ€™t have a 2300 people #USA base in WA which, anyone watching overseas, would see it has made #Perth a target.

    Our federal government is incapable of giving our country our own #defence instead they have outsourced it. #auspol

  9. Holy hell, another idiot driver in a cycle lane today.

    This one was Scarborough Beach Road Westbound, at Charles St; where he goes straight from the Left lane, but doesnโ€™t merge over despite the signs and paint.

    Carries on for 300m, before realising thatโ€™s a protected island in the way and he needs to move over.

    And later on, cuts off a bus at Oxford St, Mt Hawthown because he doesnt give way or get up to speed quickly enough.

  13. Okay, that was too stupid even for me to not talk about. Just heading north through Maylands, and some guy was driving half a kilometre along the length of the Railway Parade bike path.

    Had to stop my scooter and block the path to make sure he got the hell out of the bike path, and back onto the road.

    Was too annoyed to think about taking a photo of the driver and his rego to report it to Police.

  15. If you are a unicyclist in Western Australia, here are the unicycle-specific laws on a single page for your reference.

    Also, send me a message and weโ€™ll go for a ride some time.

  16. Coogee Sharknet Report

    Water warm enough to get in slowly.
    And clear.

    But.
    Usually in winter the water surface is clear of the suntan oil slick that coats me when I swim in summer.
    Not today. Somewhere up-current oil of some sort's been released.
    Not smelling like animal fat - which is nice.

    Maybe Kiwi shearers on the beach. Of course they're swimming too.

    Sealanes shop say "6pm close" but it was closed before that time. So no seafood chowder to chase the blue tinge from my skin.

  17. Balhousie Castle near Perthโ€™s North Inch, home to the superb Black Watch Museum telling the story of Scotlandโ€™s oldest Highland regiment and of the soldiers who served in it. Balhousie Castle has origins dating back to the 1100s. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/per

  18. The shift of The West Australian away from being overwhelmingly focused on promoting the WA economy to desperate, often hysterically inept, attempts to move voters away from Labor, is in full view today with West Australian Newspapers doing a front page exposรฉ of Albanese's attempts to build a secret cartel of iron ore mining companies.

    Also: A shift in presentation from "AI to mark essays" to "robots to mark essays"

  19. Just finished a 3pg email to my Stateโ€™s Transport Minister and my Local Member; asking them to have both the Main Roads and Transport agencies pull their finger out when it comes to maintaining & supporting a safe principal shared path network in WA.

    The list of issues and faults was long, too long to summarise here, but most of the issues could be fixed with the pocket change these agencies have behind the couch.
