Dinner tonight: pork sausage, tomato basil salad, and roast sweet potato with feta and pepitas…

A lovely start to the drive home with scones at Ricardo’s 🍅🍓, followed by a very slow crawl through torrential rain at Newcastle! But we made it. 😅

I’m stunned to report that in week 3 of my “try to eat at least 30 different plants a week” experiment, I got my highest total yet with 41! 🍐🍒🥦🍆🥕🥒

There it is. Six weeks.

That’s how long it took for Facebook to figure out I’m not in Germany and switch to showing me Australian ads.

At the doctor getting my Covid booster finally (4th shot), which I’d like to dedicate to the antivaxxer caravan we passed on the Pacific Highway yesterday. 🙄💉💉💉💉

Road-tripping on the Mid-North Coast…

There’s a wall of Rodd’s Grandma’s needlepoint out in the granny flat. I was looking at them last night and suddenly started hearing the White Lotus theme… 😂❤️

The Snook continues to impress and surprise me with his funemployment activities. Earlier this week he got a library card, and today he is rendering down a kilo of beef fat.

The only truly excellent piece of art created by generative AI. 😂

He rendered beef fat all day. (Seriously.)
