Ice on the car this morning. According to the IPCC I’m supposed to be living in one of the later Mad Max films, not Fargo.

What’s the bet they’re going to try to rent it as-is?

A house with huge amounts of overgrowth around a window and on the ceiling. The path to the door appears to have been cleared recently.

Happy Easter to those who partake

The morning sun shining through a stand of trees
A tree lined path with rays of sunlight falling on the lens. It’s a calm, sunny scene.

The stunning autumn days will continue until morale improves.

18 years old. I know he won’t be around much longer but I’m grateful he is.

A greyscale photo of an old, shaggy looking miniature schnauzer.

Hairdressing sign that instils confidence

A hairdresser shop sign with a decidedly odd (but maybe weird enough to be cool?) iconic description of a male and female appearing pair of people with some genuinely odd looking haircuts. Alt text fails me.
Cockatoos in a palm tree beside a river

Bit of an experiment tonight. I tired to imagine what Moroccan influenced pasta might look like. I think it worked pretty well - there’s the core of a good dish here.

A bowl of pasta with a fairly thick sauce, mint and pine nuts and pistachios on top.

I keep hearing nobody comes to campus any more

Lots of students walking past a building - it’s the UNSW library.

I don’t know if I like intermissions. A break is often welcome, but I’d rather it was on my terms (and timing).

A large, old cinema. On the screen is a greyscale photo of a family and the word Intermission. It’s from the intermission in The Brutalist (2024).

The Bridge

Greyscale image of an elevated bridge (for a pipe I think) surrounded by trees.

The Lennox Street bridge underpass is an example of the old local government planning proverb: revenge is a dish best served via permanent signage.

The Lennox Street Bridge pedestrian underpass in Parramatta. It's a shaded tunnel in a sandstone bridge. A large sign of a white woman, former Sydney Morning Herald columnist and failed state political candidate Elizabeth Farrelly. Superimposed on her is the text:&10;&10;Two brutish square-jawed faux-functional holes whose every semiotic cue says, 'enter here and invite Clockwork Orange-style violence upon your person' will increase the heritage value how, exactly? This is a clear instance of architectural theory running roughshod over the facts.

An old photo I took in Mildura, found during a clean out

A street sign tyhat says "Mildura Rural City Council: Making this the most liveable, people friendly community in Australia". Underneath are a series of icon sayimng these are not allowed: cycling, skateboarding, rollerblading, using scooters, and drinking alcohol.

It retrospect I should have recognised this as a warning about the quality of the takeaway pizza I’d just ordered.

A bright yellow sign stuck in a shop window. The text says:&10;CASH&10;IS FREEDOM &10;USE IT OR LOSE IT!&10;GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING TO INTRODUCE PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL CURRENCY&10;&10;It's all pretty cooked.
