Prefer animals to people, and games over anything serious.

Just about to eat my dinner. I baked a cheese & onion loaf this afternoon & made a huge pot of zucchini soup. I wasn’t sure about the soup, but it’s delicious & as I do with pumpkin soup, I’ll be adding grated cheese to the bowl next time. The bread is awesome too & yeah it looks like a lot of butter spread on it - my excuse is that it goes into the holes so not my fault 😁. Lots of containers of soup for the freezer, the bread I’ll keep eating in the days to come.

It's always good to see a platypus.

This one was digging around in shallow water and mud by the Meander River in Deloraine.

It’s been a while since I threw a boomerang, but after a few tries, it came back to me.

Day 19 - Marseille. Wow, what a city! Absolutely love it here 😁 Tjis is somewhere I could see myself living very easily.

What a great part of the World. I love south west France. I have not spent much time in Marseilles, but Toulouse and Carcassonne are great, and the Camargue is breathtaking.

Enjoy your trip 🙂

When and why did the habit of starting sentences with "Not gonna lie..." start?

@NickSchwanck

To tell the truth, I'm not sure.

Honestly, though, it is annoying.

Grand Master Samy Shoker came to our little club yesterday to play a group of us simultaneously. We managed to score one draw against him (me) which was better than his simul in Hobart the day before when he won all his games.
Samy was a great gentleman, and was great with sharing his knowledge, especially with the kids who were thrilled to be playing and talking (even laughing) with him.

Hello! I want to do a Spooky Picture Prompt! So, find a picture in your camera roll that would represent the phrase:

Last Picture on the Camera Roll

This should be spooky, but completely up to your own interpretation. Here's one from me, with weird eclipse light.

This is a light installation in Hobart, Tasmania. Some said it was inspirational, some thought it magnificent. I found it a little macabre.

Ok, Mastodon - I have a question I need help with.

What are some classic stories (novels, poems, anything really) set in libraries, or about books? 📚

Is there anything really famous?

Please RT to boost my reach!

Thanking you kindly.
