Mom to the #flyingdog and #LesserSpottedSid. I'd love to reinvent myself, but I love beach sunrises and rugby too much to change. Catch me in a tree somewhere, or getting my hands dirty. Bridging divides between people and nature, making change happen.

Someone posted the other day that they wondered if company's would be as quick to issue the retraction re VAT reversal. And I can happily say both my insurance and security company have been super quick with that notice. Sorry I can't remember who said it:(

Look ma, no legs #flyingdog

Up and at 'em. Or sleep in. It's a free country #beachsunrise

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism. Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism. The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

"Remember when teachers, public employees, libraries, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither."

Putting weather alerts behind a paywall has to be a new low.

When you wake up to find someone has stolen all your outside chairs. So someone walked down the road some time between midnight and now with 6 bright blue plastic chairs....

There's something about the sound of the sea crashing in the background. Like white noise, it shuts out all negativity. A ceiling of stars overhead and the brightest moon just finish it all off perfectly. To escape to this is bliss. Maybe a future dream....

Games. A little Rodriguez in synch to the sound of the sea. And some chips and dip. That'll do folks. That'll do.

“The damage has been done,” said George Saravelos, the head of foreign exchange research at Deutsche Bank. “The market is reassessing the structural attractiveness of the dollar as the world’s global reserve currency and is undergoing a process of rapid de-dollarisation.”

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

We would have been ok with maybe just being served ice cream by someone on roller skates.

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

When a project is forced to close and you can save your team by realignment and putting them on other projects, but you cannot save the sub contractors and have to terminate a woman who's super hard working, and has just had a baby. Man I hate this.

This is so utterly cool! What a great way to reduce consumption and waste.

no one should be praising an arsonist who suddenly got bored with the flames

Creat a crisis by making a policy. Scrap the policy. Claim fortune and fame for solving the crisis. And the gullible praise you. What a load of nonsense.

Weakness. It's not empathy. I can promise you that.

It's a great night for moon rise watching and star gazing as the pasta rests.

If you had to login to your bank account to get mad at this administration you are a bad person

South Africa, the only African country that is a member of the G20, holds the presidencyof the grouping until the end of November 2025. During this time, it could help drive the African continent’s food security agenda. 4 ways to make a difference here. theconversation.com/south-africa...

Anyone who lived through the propaganda of the Nationalist government's Apartheid South Africa has seen this playbook. It's simple - lie, then if you get caught in the lie, change the lie. But always keep blaming the other party. # "slipped on soap". www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025...
