After several hours of dealing with end-of-lease cleaners, we rewarded ourselves with a quick dinner at @8.52newtown. BBQ Pork rice, dumplings, plus prawn toast and garlic veggies that were so good I forgot to photograph. 🥟🍚😍

Nerds Night Out at the @australianmuseum! We joined scientists, journalists, educators, and volunteers to celebrate the great work done by the Museum and @botanicsydney. As one of the scientists said, it’s been fantastic to see Australia’s Olympians returning home today after their remarkable success. Our collective goal should also be to ensure Australia’s scientific success is similarly acknowledged and celebrated globally. 🇦🇺🤓

This word means the tendency to forget names. This is something I’ve struggled with a LOT in recent years. I’m not sure what the cause is: the fact that my jobs at YOW and AWS meant meeting so many people? Did I get long Covid? Or is it one of the many joys of perimenopause? Or maybe it’s just getting older… At any rate, it’s incredibly frustrating to be able to picture someone or something, to know you know the name, and just not be able to grasp it.

That frantic, last minute frenzy when you go from “let’s group things in boxes based on their destinations” to “SHOVE THESE DIRTY CLOTHES IN THAT RANDOM BOX NOW.” 😅 But we’re pretty much done. 🚛📦
And we’re back! Did you miss us, Chippendale?? (We’re never moving again, I hope.)
The actual highlight of my week: Remember my beloved sunglasses (“Asian fit” Ray-Bans that actually fit my giant head) that got stolen by the CRIMINAL in Tennessee last year? And then Rodd went to great effort to get me another pair in Japan, but I somehow lost them? On Sunday I saw they were now 50% off and ordered myself a third pair. 😎❤️ (And this better be my last pair, as I think the style is being discontinued…) @rayban

So apparently turning your fridge off and putting it into storage for 6 months is a Bad Idea. Relatedly – anyone want a dead Westinghouse fridge? 😤
This legend is volunteering all week for @nationalscienceweek and spent the day chaperoning schoolkids (in the rain!) as they visited the @australianmuseum and the @botanicsydney Botanic Gardens. And he saw a dragon too! ❤️🦎
Just scrolling Instagram when I realised I was looking at video of my own house! Our lovely builder posted a walkthrough tonight. (Note the cameos by the stupid dead fridge, and by the Snook’s fancy Japanese toilet.) 😂
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
