Thanks for that. For sure. I hope they reconsider at least the airport terminal mobility stuff.

There is.
It looks like a very (very) nice boat. Usually I’d look at how great it looks but going through the interior photos the only thing I’m looking for are hand rails lol.
If the boat gets knocked around a bit at sea and there’s nothing to hold on to… yea… hrmm. Seems like a small thing until it isn’t.

Have a bit of a problem (well, not my problem but worried).
P’s are going on a Japan cruise in Mar for 2 1/2 weeks. Ol’ girl isn’t really in great shape for it.
Problems are myriad. The farthest I can get her to walk is about 650m on the flat (took 8 months to go from 300m). Shit stabillity at the knees and general walking. Food wise is going to be a disaster (even though it’s a swanky boat). Ol’ boy is a severe A type. Every time travelling as a fam it was stressful af. Race here and there at full speed etc. All my advice is falling on deaf ears. Proper knee brace (or 2), ol’ boy thinks a bandage will do the trick (it won’t), double down on supplements in the lead up, wheelchair going through terminals (that went down well), try different japanese takeaway places here in melbs a few times before going so as to give an idea what can be eaten… bring clothing that’s basically for vic apline weather (gets cold on a 25 degree sunny day even when walking w/ a polar fleece).
All of it generic advice, all being ignored. I’d be amazed if it isn’t a train wreck or if there’s an injury.
Not much I can do now to help except somehow bump calories (again) and hassle for more walks / at least something for leg strength.

Just got back to melbs. Forgot keys, left the spare inside.
I am clever.
Got in how I used to as a naughty kiddo when sneaking back in late (up a ladder on to the roof into 2nd story bathroom). Lot harder than it used to be lol.
Going to a jungle gig tonight though which should be a good boogaloo. Show the kiddos how it’s done (after a nap, some ibuprofen and voltaren).

That is modern day Columbo.
It’s hard to say who is better because they both solved everything.

New resident magpie has joined the fray. Either new partner or kid of the existing long time resident.
The old one knows not to come inside. New one just flew straight in and landed a foot away from me lol. Brazen.
It’s a male, so probably thinks it can just waltz in and push boundaries. Easiest birds to get out of the house, just don’t want it taking a dump inside.
Interestingly when taken (well, walked and it followed) outside, long time resident gave a new call that I’ve never heard before and pecked it once and walked away lol.
Crazy smart creatures.

That’s terrifying that recent ICU nurse dude being shot in the US.
What’s just as terrifying is how the admin / media over there are spinning it same w/ Good.
Just getting worse and worse.
I know it’s unhealthy to doomscroll but the more you read what’s happening over there… just can’t turn away.
F’n wild.
Pretty thankful to be here and not there atm.

Birdbath getting a lot of use.
Pidgeons, wattles, ibis even a willy wagtail all co-existing.
No water wars. Just thirsty and everyone getting along.
We could learn something from them.
Will try and get a piccy later.

The pink tassels on the handle bars and the daisy on the front basket make it manly af fank you very much :)
Problem is w/ too many vodka cruisers in the front basket it loses some manoeuvrability.

Ran into this dog breed at the shops and had a chat to the lovely owner. It was very cute:

Apparently they protected monks.
To my eyes the only thing it could do is yap and at worst nip your ankle.
