Challenge for my work colleagues today - don’t make me tap the badge.

A rectangular enamel badge pinned to a dark green jacket, part of a green and white striped shirt visible on the left side. The badge has a white background with a black cat face in the middle with the words - Are you - above it and - kitten me? - below it.

📺 Finished S6E7 of The Handmaid’s Tale and I can’t wait to listen to the Eyes on Gilead podcast unpack this! The pro-Nick camp will struggle to find a positive angle this time to counter Luke’s “fucking nazi” comment!

So much about to happen and only three episodes left. Bye bye Bell coming up!

I’ve stopped reading the opinions on why the coalition was resoundingly defeated. There’s only so many ways to write - out of touch, constantly punching down, no policies, climate change denial, believing support from the wingnuts in the murdoch media was representative of the electorate at large.

Back to work after three weeks of holidays.

A round enamel badge on a green checked jacket. The badge says - Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to come!

Home from dinner and the symphony just in time to see Dutton concede after losing his seat and the election. A great night all round. Go on, f*** off, you’re out.

Queensland Symphony Orchestra - Shakespeare’s The Tempest
“It explores many themes, including magic, betrayal, revenge, forgiveness and family.”
Pretty much the same as staying home and watching the Australian election results.

A view of an orchestra on a stage. A large magnificent pipe organ behind them.

“Cocktail while you look at the menu I assume?” They know me here 🤷🏻‍♂️

🍽️ Heading out for early dinner then the Queensland Symphony Orchestra - Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Happy democracy sausage day and the return of one of my favourite websites.
Even if you’ve done a pre-poll vote you can still sample the offerings available from your local voting booth. I’ll be taking a walk to the local church which is fundraising for St Francis Table Ministry to the Elderly.

👴 We’ve finally reached the time of year where I can dig out the crochet blanket to throw over my legs when watching tv.
