Here's a thread of photos I took when we went to the Netherlands in 2016. Here's some random walking around Amsterdam photos to kick it off.

It's time for another history/museum thread. This one starts in Australia then goes to the Netherlands. It's a long one and it's going to take quite a lot of posts so get comfy.

Last night I had the immense pleasure of going to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl along with ten thousand plus people to witness a religious experience.

First up: Nile Rogers and Chic. Started the show with Le Freak and smashed out 50 years of bangers. What a career! What a song writer!

Glass corn I popped in pots last weekend are popping up already. And a tomato seed has popped up overnight next to these two that have been happily growing in my windowsill for a few weeks now.

Three pots. One pot has two tomato plants growing and one pot has a tiny green seedling coming up.

You know what, I don't give a rats about fancy lobbies or pot plants. I just don't want to work in shared desk, noisy environments that ultimately are enormously distracting and lead to less work actually being done.

This is just real estate and landlord propaganda. Stop being cheap bastards and bring back some offices and quieter environments not barns and having to yell to be heard.

Sunday morning already! That means pop out to the greengrocers then swing by Woolies for a few things. Watching petrol prices rising around the area, from 194 to 209, diesel is climbing too. Time to figure out where I will hang the framed prints I bought at comiccon last weekend. Might even get away with hanging out a load of washing!

If you're in Victoria this weekend and love reading, take a drive to the little town of Clunes. They're having a mega book sale all weekend.

Forget the old woman who lived in a shoe: A Michigander in her mid-thirties made a home in a Family Fare supermarket sign for nearly a year, local outlet MLive reported. The unnamed woman lived rent-free and went unnoticed by shoppers and workers until a construction crew working on repairs to the building’s roof stumbled upon her humble abode two weeks ago, Midland Police Officer Brennon Warren told the outlet. “She essentially made it home,” Warren said, describing how officers discovered a cozy apartment complete with desk, houseplant, computer printer, coffeemaker, and a cubbyhole of food. It’s unclear why and how the woman chose to build her nest there; police said she’s employed and turned down housing assistance when offered. When she was discovered, some of the store workers said they recognized her from around the property and that she occasionally seemed to vanish into thin air. They now have a new name for the legendary eave-dweller: “The Roof Ninja.” Authorities and Family Fare are working to help her find a new home.
