The frequency with which I see a similar-sounding word (that&#39;s a homophone, for interested readers) that&#39;s clearly the wrong one, or a terrible spelling that has passed through editing is anxiety-inducing. 2025-04-23T20:55:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9d4tp8na4hknxsrwkn6j7u8sq6qktcada4wjgk8m7nhqx7st7pfszyp2yvy6ukvmzac399yy3jx2vrdymdlpjudpgdrz035jqp3q9cmgn5rdf7m7 Helicopter fail…<br/><br/>✅✅✅✅❌✅✅✅✅✅<br/>The Saturday Paper Quiz No. 545<br/>I got 9/10!<br/><a href="https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/quiz/2025/04/12?rival=1111011111">https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/quiz/2025/04/12?rival=1111011111</a> 2025-04-12T01:54:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqmnm2lrrdtwlnmepmh38nd22v76x43fhp9hhpf4dyq9ulrtmfdpqzyp2yvy6ukvmzac399yy3jx2vrdymdlpjudpgdrz035jqp3q9cmgn5uazqed In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstq500w25scqw4up3n5hanakc36vl9g327lgyy8walgdgwnzsk6yqnucq2n'>nevent1q…cq2n</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>overhead projector or gtfo 2025-03-19T07:45:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs88g5xfeshw4mp9qfg5t5fl2k08gtm3svmc2dmex58grjpxcv3sxqzyp2yvy6ukvmzac399yy3jx2vrdymdlpjudpgdrz035jqp3q9cmgn53tnspp Before. After. New laundry alcove doors at Mountain Cottage. Bracken Cottage gets the same treatment in a couple of weeks.<br/><br/>The previous doors were interior slatted cedar. Great for your sunroom, not so good exposed to the weather. They were coated with years of repainting.<br/><br/>The new doors are exterior pine framing with 90mm merbeu decking stiles. I’ll be adding some fine fly mesh to the inside of the doors to reduce dust and leaf blow-in.<br/><br/>#diy #handmade<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/114/045/542/176/736/664/original/4bb6c4b02794db3e.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/114/045/543/328/631/335/original/1e77577dd5dfbc66.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-02-22T04:01:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8w0wfnnuxpepjjhuk27yrk3c2c2934v8dlt5xqd4ee7u9yhnnz8czyp2yvy6ukvmzac399yy3jx2vrdymdlpjudpgdrz035jqp3q9cmgn5dzhrqh Mate, how am I supposed to cut up this decking if you’ve taken it over?<br/><br/>#bushlife #lizard #JackyDragon<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/114/033/858/084/270/955/original/c4f6f3e2d7ad9be0.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-02-20T02:29:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs98dp85f4unawxjr57y2ad5h0qm26rv6scpdrnt0ee2g64njjzyfczyp2yvy6ukvmzac399yy3jx2vrdymdlpjudpgdrz035jqp3q9cmgn5f74ejc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgmlj9e3eunke95ajlfll3n4utfnznlng7p99n9nkf83j54utwhns5mmdw4'>nevent1q…mdw4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>as a local from 1978 to 2021, at no time did I hear it referred to in that way.<br/><br/>&#34;Penis Owl” otoh, for the sculpture in Belconnen... often. 2025-01-24T08:16:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfhpwmdj6ea2ssmqgpvccwmxfwfk629q04jrlapkqy9jwcccxhqhqzyp2yvy6ukvmzac399yy3jx2vrdymdlpjudpgdrz035jqp3q9cmgn53ujddm 4 years today since we went bush.
