  1. "The following events never took place.

    Particularly between May 2023 and October 2026."

    In the comedy "Ground Up" the nascent Tasmanian footy team gets sponsorship from OpiTAS, even though the company rep says it's not as if they can make any direct sales to footy fans. Never mind, it's a local Tasmanian business success story! OpiTAS grows (pharmaceutical) opium.

  11. If you’re in #Hobart, come to #HotAugustJazz in North Hobart - so many free performances today and the weather is perfect.

    With @Kitteh and Mr 11yo at the moment in Angelika Bat and it’s fantastic 🎶

  12. ETERNAL LIFE IS KIND 💎

    This morning I woke up surprisingly peaceful. My breath was free. My mind was free. My heart was free. There was #clutter around the edges, but none of it seemed able to get at me.

    Then someone from a Star Trek group on Mastodon sent me a message that felt like a threat. So I unfollowed the #group and blocked him. No argument. No defence.

    I DON’T DO THREATS ANYMORE.

    Then the morning wandered somewhere completely different.

    I looked out at Lenah Valley. Sunny, about 11 or 12 degrees, the #mountain right behind us. I imagined #Hobart seventy years from now. The mountain will probably still be there, but the city may be almost unrecognisable. An AI city, perhaps. Not because AI suddenly arrives with trumpets. It is already changing things quietly underneath everything.

    Then #Nepal came into the morning. That enormous wall of water, rock and ice coming down the mountain. And again, I thought about death. Everybody dies somehow, somewhere, sometime. That sounds cold until the fear drops out of it. Then it is simply true.

    From there, for reasons only mornings understand, I thought about #DollyParton and #TimCurry. I saw Tim in the original #RockyHorror Show in London. I never saw Dolly live. But I loved her kindness.

    And that took me to a nurse who cared for me as a little boy. I can still see her starched white uniform and the #watch pinned upside down on her chest so she could look down and read it.

    She gave me kindness when I needed it, about sixty-five years ago. She is probably long dead.

    But the kindness isn’t.

    IT IS STILL HERE.

    It travelled into relationships, things I have written and things I have said. Perhaps into people I will never know. #Kindness does not necessarily die with the person who gave it. It gets passed along.

    Later, LindaCu boosted something I had written about breathwork. I used to struggle terribly with patience and #acceptance. Then I found breathwork and stopped battling myself quite so much. I learned to breathe my way out of the #monkey mind and back into something quieter.

    By then, I realised I had spent the morning moving through peace, irritation, Hobart, AI, Nepal, death, Tim Curry, Dolly Parton, an old nurse, breathwork and Mastodon.

    Quite a morning.

    And none of it needed fixing.

  13. Random bits of Architecture from around #Hobart I'm down for the Winter Games Fest, but I'll take an extra day for some walking.

    Plenty of #boardGames coming soon.

  14. Fingal Railway Station c.2010. I thought I'd heard something about it being restored for community use but when I went to check I ended up in places no one should have to look at.

  15. I never knew about Dog Vomit Slime Molds until my wife told me on our walk on Sunday. These slime molds can be white or yellow and are also known as witches butter (though I always thought there was a jelly fungus called that).

    Apparently, in Scandinavian folklore, it is known as the vomit of Troll Cats 😱😱

    They aren't dangerous though they can trigger allergies like rhinitis.

  28. Some of you haven't obviously read "The Art of war" and it shows when you turn up in hope that I'm dying at home, when in reality a friend watched you turn up like a stalker with your partner and were caught on every neighbours camera contemplating about breaking into my home, idiots.

  33. IN TASMANIA…
    A wind turbine on an apple orchard at Lucaston, in the Huon Valley, takes a welcome break after the wind drops.

    Many orchardists in the region and elsewhere in the island state went into cattle when apple exports to the UK went into decline when that country joined the European Common Market in the 1970s. Whole fields of apple trees were uprooted.

    Apples remain an important crop in the Huon, something you appreciate when you bite into one of the locally grown fruit. And, of course, apple farms need electrical energy, and that is where this resting wind turbine comes into the picture.
