so oz's PM suggested a public holiday should the Matildas win the World Cup. And the island exploded! Costings, warnings of societal collapse, arguments about women being able to kick a ball, it's been full on! Suddenly-experts sharing their wisdom about women's sport, women in sport, should women play sport? where are the children? who's cooking dinner? those dishes wont wash themselves yknow! oc the Tillies are all lesssbians yknow (no, i dont know any of these things..i only learnt the names of the players yesterday)

the Matildas didnt win. However what they did do was become oz's first team to reach the semifinals of the (football/soccer) World Cup
Some words from Aunty ABC about this, with explanations of various facets of the game at which we are suddenly experts.

the Matildas next play Sweden in Brisvegas/Meanjin on Saturday (19th day of August)
here's a nice song about the brown snake (Brisbane River) https://youtu.be/zbL5Rd7hNao
and some lyrics https://genius.com/Thelma-plum-the-brown-snake-lyrics

Well done, England, great game!

The discovery was made during a routine survey by the Victorian government's forest monitoring program, which examines more than 800 plots across the country to study the environmental impact of fire and floods. "When you do these surveys, you get to know the plants that are there all the time," Professor Entwisle said.
You do. A tad further south, we've named our favourites - eg., Barry and Bruce Banksia, and Karen X the grasstree whose leaves flop to one side :)

My whole lifestyle changed a while ago. As a nightowl I always had preferred to live in the night, as writing is much easier and pleasant when there is no, or nearly no sound around but, since about one year I go to bed around 9-10p and then get up between 4:30 and 5:30 am, and it feels good... so, this morning I wrote in my diary:

You were a laughing, smiling, happy child up to the time you went to school.

This shows that all the problems, fears, disturbances start with education and manipulation.

Now, in my 73rd year I am heading back to that state of soul I was in my early youth! Yay!

"Happy going back to your home little Queens. I hope you grow up to be leaders one day & ensure that Australia never loses its conscience again 💗💗"
also Emma, from the day before the election: Tomorrow cast your vote as though it’s for the most vulnerable person you know ♥️
We don’t vote for the best party - there’s no such thing, we just vote to keep the worst ones out.

from Premier Dan
"Starting today, workers in casual and insecure work in eligible industries will be able to access five days of sick pay per year.
Workers in hospo, food preparation, cleaning, security, laundries, supermarkets, retail, as well as aged and disability care will all be able to take time off if they're sick, or to take care of a loved one.
The Government is doing all the admin for the program, and making payments directly to workers - meaning no extra paperwork for businesses.
It means that more than 150,000 Victorians will no longer have to choose between being able to pay rent and looking after their health.
Because no one should have to go to work sick because they can't afford not to.
And now - they don't."
