Holidaying at my grandmothers in north Qld at primary school age.
The outdoor dunny had a large gap under the door, old newspapers for toilet paper & a shovel beside the seat, so if a snake came under the door you could cut it’s head off with the shovel.
Bath was similar. It was in a newer addition to the house, with short doors again & it’s own snake killer shovel.

They take on the flavours of things they’re cooked with too.

And - she’s not a fan of choko normally. I like it in curries or cooked with bacon.

The weather improved a little. Drizzle mostly, but towards the end, rain.
So, optimistically, I decided to go out the back & set up a #DogPool I purchased from #Bunnings.
At least, it’ll be reserve water for the #sheep & #alpacas. At best, it’ll stop Chaser the alpaca bathing in their drinking water & choosing the pool instead.

The ambulance initially took me to Sunshine Hospital.
I spent 1 day & night there before being transferred to the Royal Melbourne Neuroscience ward for tests & eventual surgery.
At Sunshine they had me in a cubicle - one amongst what seemed to be dozens.
Either side of me & elsewhere in the cubicles, people screamed all night!
I was dead tired when I arrived at RMH, having got zero sleep & zero water since being admitted at Sunshine.

Speaking of being a touch deaf
Before I was going to have my spinal surgery, I was taken for MRI scanning.
It was hot & very noisy, so I was given a glass of water & foam earbuds.
I’d been having trouble sleeping with the constant hospital noise, so the earbuds were much appreciated.
I wore the earbuds that night.
The following morning I was woken by 2 very concerned nurses who thought I’d gone into a coma because I wasn’t responding to their calls & were shaking me awake.🤣

#LarissaWaters, #Greens’ leader, said:
The revelations about #Australia’s #future under #climatechange detailed in this report are chilling.
The #climatecrisis is a risk to our safety, to nature, & to our economy & productivity. This report must be a wake-up call for #Labor ahead of their 2035 climate target decision.
If Labor fails to set a science-based #climatetarget then it’s crystal clear: they’ve utterly prioritised coal & gas profits at the expense of community safety & nature. #auspol

This came as it emerged #Australia would lift restrictions on #beef from the #US, once one of Trump's biggest trade grievances with Australia.
Supposedly, it is merely a decision taken after a decade of review. The US, meanwhile, insists it is "yet another example" of Trump's negotiating prowess. #auspol #Albo caves #TrumpRegime #auspol
