Sneaky pigeon
Late last night, @NTKF brought our baby son into the world!
Presenting Mac John Petar Feld! 😍
After editing episode 025 of @HemisphericViews, I was excited and had @NTKF take this pic. Have a listen! @Burk is an American classic and the wise @canion gets emotional about filing.
Also one of our t-shirts would look great on you.
We discovered some wild tomatoes in a local park and I have been enjoying them as a little afternoon snack. Yay footpath food!
Well this is just a little bit frustrating.
Sunflower eyeball!
In 62. Three Films with One Idea on Lounge Ruminator, I discuss a shift in my podcast research, the shock of HomePod’s discontinuation and three wonderful films that challenge us to think differently. 🎙
‘Sculptures in the Garden’ at the Wollongong Botanic Garden
I must say that I’m generally not a fan of ads, even if they promote me, however what @Vincent has done with Sublime Ads in the discover feed on @Gluon is very subtle, unobtrusive and tasteful. Thanks for promoting Lounge Ruminator in such a way!
Hanging out with my friend Rocky and scrolling through Micro.blog is a lovely way to start the day.
Magpies are gorgeous birds but the real, non-painted ones will occasionally try to kill you.
I do love the memories feature in the iOS Photos app; it just revealed this shot that I took amongst the crowd at The Cat Empire’s performance at Stuart Park, Wollongong back in 2017. What a sky!
Hazy evening walk
Update: I have figured out the very limit of my toaster’s toasting capability, so that I can get it as close to burnt as possible without actually being burnt. Super-crispy + Vegemite = joy ☺️
A wonderful night with @NTKF at the Gala Cinema to see The People Upstairs—it’s a very quirky and enjoyable film! It was good to test dark mode once others had left too.
If you haven’t listened to @HemisphericViews, now’s either the best or worst time to start. This time I suggested we go into it without prepared show notes. The result was 021: Ad Lib!. @Burk discusses Mars, @canion covers neckties and I chat about peanuts. Listen if you dare! 🎙
Inspired by this tweet by @canion, I have the Kramer-esque ‘Fusilli Mac Martin’ from @NTKF, a fifth-anniversary pin from @relayfm, a Tweety PEZ dispenser (also à la Seinfeld) and a @HemisphericViews plaque. What a collection! 😜
Always smiling!
A beautiful morning at the Continental Pools
Sunset and pelicans along the Blue Mile
The wonderful @NTKF organised a surprise early-birthday event with my mum and sister, which included peach-picking in Darkes Forest, a bushwalk through Dharawal National Park and lunch at Sublime Point overlooking Wollongong. The best! 😍
Earlier today, @NTKF took this photo of little Rocky falling asleep on my leg. She’s a cutie bird!
Overlooking Port Kembla Beach from the saltwater Olympic pool… I’ve always loved this place! @NTKF and I made sure to visit this week, as no summer is complete without it.
For the first episode of Lounge Ruminator in 2021, @NTKF joins me to reflect on our recent visit to one of Australia’s most bizarre, niche theme parks, Granties Maze, plus other spots like Tasmazia. Listen on the Web, Apple Podcasts or Overcast. 🎙
