Confession: I dunk me Vegemite toast and sandwiches into me cuppa.

Flying Foxes are dirty, noisy diseased things but still kinda cute...we have a loner one who lives in the park across the street...drives my neighbour mental when he strips his fruit trees.

Yep we surely are, it's why we call it The Lucky Country.

She'll be right Doreen....don't worry...it's gotta ease up soon. LB has been at fires all week in SA... Melbourne has been smokey for a few days now but was clear today...still sporting that smoke affected voice though.

NOPE...and for any smokers out there lurking who are thinking tonight's the night...go for it mates, make the call and end your addiction this year....one day to go cobssies so take the plunge, you won't regret it.

Music for a stinking hot Melbourne night....

Zipper snake A pen1s.

Love this...was reading the first post and going please don't be a snake, please don't be a snake.... My dad has bluies in his yard...has one who lives on the opposite side of the path to the strawberry patch...whrn they're in season, every bloody morning when dad's out having his cuppa he watches the bluey walk across the path, into the strawberry patch and then walk back with one in his mouth....Dad figures it's a small fee for no snails and bugs. Snail pallets are banned at me dad's too.

Getting ready to sing happy birthday to the boxing day cousin.

While I love raw fish...when I make sushi I use smoked salmon, roast duck in terryaki sauce, tuna (as in tinned) and crab and prawns..both cooked.

Yes, yes it was my Chrissy pressie....a years supply of organic granola...my little sister and her other half have an artisan sour dough bakery where they cook in an old brick wood fired oven was built in the mud 1800's...one of there products is granola which I like but have to pick all the saltana (raisins) out cos "I don't eat dead flies" so for Christmas they made me a carton of fruit free granola .. a years supply...pretty sure I'll be pooping well all year

What am I going to do with 130 bags of organic granola?...

Cooking the rice to make the sushi platter for tonight.

Wondering why when the kid knows I spent an hour doing this and didn't just hand her bags with the stuff in it...for those who weren't around last year in our family Santa doesn't wrap gifts he pulls them from his sack and artistically displays them in your designated seat...yep we have designated seats...

Merry Christmas everyone on this the 45th anniversary of Tracey..

One more sleep and Santa Claus is Coming....hang up your stockings kids... tomorrow's Chrissy day Yes @Cbdave & @forestgreen I know all the actions to this Aussie millenial classic... Please Santa, I've been good all o want for Christmas is rain, lots of rain...all over cepting Darwin they get a sh1t tonne

^ What she said.... OMG I can almost taste the sticky goodness..... mmmmmmmm...... feel a stop at a coffee shop in the cards for my way home. NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ...... anyone but the south american river.....anyone..... Sorry just really don't like them.

So I just did some maths, to kinda give yous all some perspective...we currently have active fires in QLD, NSW, Vic and Sth Australia...Victoria is the only state without a human life lost...our allies have been helping with firies from NZ and Canada being here for over a month. So now let's just look at the NSW fires... Currently, as of this morning...the amount of land burning (not burnt) is more than the whole of Belgium..or the size of Maryland...there are more firefighters fighting the NSW fires (professional and volunteer) than there are soldiers in the Australian army....2/3rds of all registered firefighters in Australia have been at a bushfire for at least 1 week in the last 2 months.

Not sure if I've posted this yet.

Love this movie review that's spoiler free...hanging out to see this with my dad.

I know I posted this song already but it's Fruckin Gravy Day peeps..... So here is the drunkin pub Chopra version...

NOPE - never on #GravyDay... But who's gunna make the gravy?

Waiting for train...currently running 10mins late...45c in the shade with 7% humidity...the air kinda burns to breathe but no fires near me...fingers crossed the predicted dry lightening doesn't hit.
