Stroll before the mega storm. Baby magpies are endlessly funny

Just realised a version of this photo was photo bombed by a bird that I can't identify

Friday stroll report

Today's Canberra evening stroll 💙

there are tons of legitimate criticisms of a folding phone that cost $2000 but i'm having a good laugh at "you will scroll tiktok less because of the aspect ratio" as the leading negative bullet point on an iphone duo review is funny. oh no my brain poison

Arvo stroll szn

Today I'm thinking about how Helen would respond to this terrible event. I know that it would be to reach out to those who need support and love, to lead with dignity and respect, and to remind us all of the inherent goodness and decency of Australians and the strength of our democracy.

Helen Haines is the most generous and kind person - a woman of warmth and great personal integrity.

Amongst all the awful news about what happened yesterday to Helen Haines, there's a wonderful quote from one of the bystanders who helped "It was the right thing to do and to show [the attacker] kindness and grace at a time that could have escalated from there" www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Cracking short afternoon stroll through Mulligan's flat, a bit of a quest given my current state of fitness/feebleness but was well rewarded by finding Australia's least skittish echidna, a grey butcherbird, a billion roos, and just the right amount of sunbeams.

What if the wallabies aren't as good at rugby as actual wallabies

The Marc Fennell "state of man" series on iview is worth your time if you haven't yet seen it. Marc is so kind and curious which really makes it iview.abc.net.au/show/state-o...

Bit low on supply for tiny delights today, managed a stroll before dark 🖤

Ventured to the inner south for today's tiny delight

Today's tiny delights in the People's Republic of the Inner North. Look how green and fluffy everything is!

If I ruled the world, before I banned sports gambling advertising (a necessary action) I'd instead allow it to continue for a period but insist on advertising standards that they could only show losses. No happy celebrations, just losers losing.

Also practicing tiny pull-ups ❤️💙

Today's tiny neighbourhood delights 💚

If you haven't yet watched "the long run" on the indigenous marathon project class of 2025 I highly recommend it. Ridiculously impressive bunch and Rob De Castella is my forever hero www.9now.com.au/the-long-run Good things are good!

Growing up in Melbourne and Brisbane, I didn't get to see Richard Morecroft read the news much. But - 25 minutes into this old clip - I did see him flap his arms to encourage Archie, an orphaned flying-fox, to take his first flight. It tells you everything about him. m.youtube.com/watch?v=TMWH...

I was sorry to read the news about Richard Morecroft, he seemed like a great dude. Amongst the stories shared I wish more mentioned his live news reading while actively carrying / caring for orphaned baby bats. What a cool dude www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Today's tiny delights 🧡

A cool thing to learn while on movement restrictions after surgery is how often I wake up and then immediately perform a series of full body stretches. My subconscious wants me to be in pain I guess

Forgot to tell this part of the internet that I did another half marathon on Sunday night. Was very mediocre from a run effort but fun to run through syd after dark!

The nurse call bell in the hospital I'm in plays a jaunty little tune. I feel like every room should have a unique tone like Japanese trains.

Now, after a near total population collapse, bogong moths are delighting scientists with sudden spring abundance www.theage.com.au/environment/...

Too many birds at parly.

Little bit of this morning's paddle and this arvo's run. Spring in Canberra eh.

Back to the delightful red dust, ridiculous blue skies, long shadows and kangaroo warnings of the home trails on Mt Ainslie. #parkrunau #loveparkrun

Everything sucks EXCEPT this guy who rescued a baby magpie and is posting daily rehab photos while the worried magparent watches on www.reddit.com/r/magpies/s/...

Spring arvo running in the inner north. I wonder if it's possible to inhale too much springtime. I think maybe.

Out of all my health silliness in the last couple of years the main outcome seems to be that I have a standout favourite phlebotomist (and prob that I'm no longer terrified of needled I guess). My weirdest google review to date.

The bird was watching and the reaction was fun 🤣

Sad to report it's gross and science flavoured 😭

A bit of weekend wildlife ❤️

I am so excited that all I ever want to consume is being combined into a single product.

Second ever half marathon today, the Dubbo Stampede through the Western Plains zoo and along the river valley. Cracking day for it. PB by 17 minutes which feels like a lovely way to gloss over how slow my last 4km were. Saw some animals, didn't die.
