I'm about a quarter of the way through The Nerd Reich by Gil Duran. He makes a good case that all these billionaires who want to remake the political systems across the world with themselves at the top are a pack of loonies.
Nowhere in their plans that I have seen so far does anyone grow food, provide clean water or textiles or maintain roads and bridges, just for a start. Apparently all this real world stuff happens by magic. #tech

definitely. Canberra is filling up with multi storey apartment buildings that I wouldn't set foot in. Terrible stories of bad construction. May not be the architect's fault I guess, if they even had architects. Balconies that slope perfectly to fill up places with water, for example, or one where they had to double the width of all the pillars resulting in dramatic loss of internal floor area. One office building sank so far and fast it had to be demolished.

People in rural Australia often oppose renewable developments. That is their right. But they don't help their cause by talking about the ruination of 'prime agricultural land' which is in reality infertile semi-desert. In one case they opposed a battery next door to an existing substation located in an old gravel pit. Amazing how prime agricultural land is suddenly being discovered all over the place. They never mentioned it when coal mines were proposed. #auspol

2026-03-31T01:08:58Z

Mother in law aged 95 recently lost her driving licence. Long overdue. But now she has no ID. The state issued her a proof of age (!) card but most eg banks don't accept that as proof of id. She has an original marriage certificate from 1952, a birth extract from 1930 and a 15 year expired passport. She has to start again. To get any of these docs you have to prove your id. Somehow. It's a nightmare. And will cost, probably upwards of $500 AUD. She doesn't have that so we will have to pay. #auspol

Just thinking about our first tv in 1975. It was a second hand black and white CRT which weighed a couple of tons. It had a wonky vertical hold so images gradually slid upwards and out the top right corner, only to reappear at the bottom left. Particularly effective watching spaceships in Star Trek.
Currently watching a Korean rom com from 2004 which is pixel deprived, made me think of the old tv. #television

My brother, autistic, in his sixties, is being harassed by a neighbour. Bastard stole his identity, now throws rubbish into his yard and much verbal abuse. I live interstate or would be over there explaining the error of his ways to him in no uncertain terms. However, this option is off the table.

We are considering helping him move into a retirement village fairly promptly.
Much to consider. The financial side alone, the interaction with the welfare system on which he depends, is labyrinthine.

I have covered five sheets of paper with calculations, started a new folder on my desktop to save all the dozens of relevant pages from Centrelink, and looked at oh so many village websites.

Not having any fun.

The weather in inland Australia is referred to by the media as sweltering. May be technically the right word but for me to swelter implies humidity and sweating. It's too hot for those. We have 43 degrees C and 15% humidity. Baking would be a better word. #australia #weather #heatwave

Grammar help please. Is this apostrophe in my wip correct? This is a blind spot that I have not been able to overcome.

The gnome, it's ear broken off during the affray, had no case for compensation at all.

True story from this morning (names changed).
Doctor calls out to waiting room, "Peter?"
My spouse, Peter stands up.
So does another man.
My spouse asks him, "Are you called Peter too?"
"No. I'm Jack," says the other guy, and sits down.
Much confusion.
🤣 🤣 🤣

Excerpt from my wip. My hero is receiving surveillance advice from a nosy old lady.

"Have you tried watching from there yourself?"
"Sometimes. If anyone ever asks I will just tell them I'm looking for my cat. Of course, no-one has ever asked. Nobody cares."
"Does your cat wander over there often?"
"I don't have a cat."

For some reason this cracks me up. 🤣 🤣

#writerscoffeeclub 19 Talk about something (even if very small!) from your own life which made it onto the page.
There was a time when you couldn't turn on the tv without seeing some earnest but dreary nature documentary.
In my current wip my characters argue about watching a documentary about estuaries.

Dear fellow author I am currently reading -- it is fazed, not phased. It is retched, not wretched. If you know you can't spell, get someone who can to check your work. #spelling #proofreading

Old stuff. We have had this Seiko analogue wall clock since the 1980s. It runs for 18 months on a single AA battery, is easily adjusted for daylight savings time, and is quite accurate, gains about one minute a year. Large numbers are easy to read. I still like it.
