Victor Harbor is a gorgeous resort town BUT developers are descending in rapacious droves without planning for mass access. It has ONE, notoriously dangerous access road. WTF? @cityofvictorharbor @FleurieuSun @indaily @tiser @Victorharbortimes @abcnews #safetyissue #roadsafety

Gee, there's a lot of contrived crap on here.

AI crap derived from from decades ago. Pffft.
Which look is more lustful, Bill Clinton not caring that Hillary catches him ogling Melania Trump or Michael Obama licking his lips while sneaking a peak of the booty of the blond in front of him?😆

There's a lot of oodle in this bordoodle pup. Canine beauty queen at 8 months. Yep, she's stealing hearts. #Ellie

Wishing all my friends in the United States of America a happy National Cat Day. We don't have a National Cat Day in the UK, but we do have a National Cat... (Pic @PjrFoto)

I am glad Melanie expressed compassion for some village children in Ukraine. But to politicise her as a last-minute peacemaker is really offensive. Where has this compassion been for the rest of the war? #spin #marketing

The usual coy "private" attention seeking. Yawn.
The “parents” wearing winter clothes and the surrogates in summer attire….hmmmmm.

J’ai 82 ans. 4 enfants, 11 petits-enfants, 2 arrière-petits-enfants… Et une chambre de 12 m². Je n’ai plus ma maison. Plus mes meubles, ni mes souvenirs autour de moi. Mais j’ai quelqu’un qui fait mon lit, me prépare à manger, et prend ma tension chaque matin. Je n’entends plus les rires d’enfants, je ne prépare plus mes boulettes, ni mes œufs mimosa. Je ne tricote presque plus. Certains passent me voir tous les quinze jours. D’autres, tous les trois mois. Et puis… certains ne viennent plus du tout. Alors je fais mes sudokus. Je vais en ergothérapie. Je parle avec ceux qui restent… mais pas trop. Parce qu’ici, les liens se brisent vite. Ils partent souvent sans prévenir. On dit que la vie dure plus longtemps qu’avant. Mais pourquoi, si c’est pour la finir si seule ? Il me reste mes photos. Quelques objets ramenés de “chez moi”. Et le silence, parfois trop lourd. Si quelqu’un me lit… J’espère que les générations futures comprendront une chose : La famille, ce n’est pas que des débuts. C’est aussi des retours. C’est prendre soin de ceux qui nous ont aimés les premiers. Prendre soin de ceux qui ont pris soin de nous… C’est peut-être ça, le vrai respect. — Une maman, une grand-mère… Ou peut-être toi, un jour

They left yesterday. None in the garage last night. 8,000miles, bound for southern Africa. I always feel melancholy when they leave. Safe journey, you wee beauties. See you next year. 💙🙏🌍

A male always handles the childcare in the emu world. Here is one protecting three stripeys (not necessarily his babies, btw). That's what baby emus are lovingly called, for obvious reasons. Credit to Rhonda for spotting these as we travelled along Flinders Ranges Way yesterday.

I don't understand anything any more.
I can't stop laughing. No face coverings except Burka's, so this legend turns up in Portsmouth identifying as a gender fluid Muslim woman. This is brilliant. Give this man a knighthood. 🤣

Full circle.
How crazy is it, that Monty Python saw this coming before it actually came? 🤣
