The kids are fighting AGAIN!

One of my favourite photos is one of my old family home in Sydney taken by a Googlemobile in 2007 as it shows my late dad getting something from the back seat of his car. I have recently discovered that someone struck the same pose as my dad for a Googlemobile in 2024. Coincidental or intentional? 🤔

Happy election day. Get ya democracy sausage in ya. #auspol #australianelectoralcommission

Saw Tina Arena at Sydney’s State Theatre tonight. She’s a fantastic performer but sadly she’s now completely cooked. Not only is she a rabid antivaxxer but she also believes that our skies are being poisoned and even questions if Bill Gates has found a way to speed up time 😳

Never leave your chocolate Easter bunny in a locked car.

With Daylight Saving ending in Australia tonight Tigger wants to remind everyone to turn their clocks back before bedtime.

You’re gonna need a bigger cot.

Todays tip - Don’t upset the garbage collector and force him to have to get out of his truck to empty the bins 🤣

Can someone please tell me how “Rub a dub dub three men in a tub” became a nursery rhyme.

I hope this doesn’t lead to violins.

Just stumbled across my Kontiki European tour photo from 1991. 11 countries in 31 days - and lots of partying. I’m crouching in front at the far right. Any other Kontiki photos out there?

Has anyone else noticed that since the US election Twitter seems to no longer be the putrid MAGA swamp it became during the lead up? Non MAGA’s appear to have regained some of their volume. Weird eh 🤔

When I first saw this sign on a Brisbane (QLD) train I honestly thought it was referring to body size. 😳

I’m definitely investing in corn muffins this year.

Happy Six Geese a-Laying Day.

Meanwhile, in Greenland….

Every year since 2010 my wife, kids and I have taken a doorstep photo as we head off to my brother’s place for Christmas lunch. In 2022 the four became 5 when our son got a girlfriend.

Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk and French President Emmanuel Macron mock Donald Trump and then post it on social media

Our household’s Christmas decorations include a hand knitted Nativity Scene lovingly created by my late mum. We are also in possession of a piano shaped jewellery box that just so happens to be the same scale as the Nativity Scene. How could I not arrange a Nativity Singalong.

I just bought this cool pic of two t-rex's fighting over a table saw in a shed as they are about to be killed by a meteorite 😀
