Strewth, mate… now that’s a bloody Aussie trophy cabinet. The broken shelf and dodgy doors? She’ll be right…
I’m grateful to work with such supportive people. Still, the best thing to happen was being given a Mac. Really, macOS enables me to do so much more than Windows. Microsoft has come a long way and Office 365 is good, but the OS is still ordinary.
That state of Australian news publications is most upsetting… Rumination No. 47: Hardly Normal on Lounge Ruminator.

Now all that I need is iPadOS and a mouse…

Paco and Coco enjoyed some grass at the park! (Excuse my slightly over-the-top Kath & Kim-esque voice.)

Micro.blog is certainly the place for me now, however I wanted to reflect on the mixed experience that is Twitter… Rumination No. 43: Why I Still Use Twitter on Lounge Ruminator
I’ve noticed a number of American shows that poke fun at Canada—Australians do the same thing unfairly to New Zealanders—but can any Americans here tell me what the US finds amusing about Boxing Day?
Here’s my shortest film review ever: Toy Story 4 is brilliant.
Six years with this very special woman! 😍 Natasha has the best sense of humour and can be seen here during our dinner out, giving the thumbs up to gendered straw distribution.
I was asked by an old colleague to translate a medical report for her dad, who has pneumonia whilst travelling in Germany. As written in the document, the somewhat accusatory German description of his Exnikotinabusus (former nicotine abuse) rather than ’ex-smoker’ is priceless.
Natasha posted a photo of Coco the Pepsi on Facebook’s Potatoes with Legs group, however we though it best to share it with the good people of Micro.blog too.
Paco and Coco’s Sunday breakfast fun!

Gelato Messina Appreciation Class
Natasha and I had a fantastic morning at Gelato Messina HQ in Rosebery, Sydney, which included a behind-the-scenes tour ...Now this is an amusing way to charge one’s Apple Pencil.
Whilst I don’t have video, here is photographic evidence for @macgenie that I did indeed participate in The Sound of Music tour in Salzburg, along with Reiseführer Gunther. 😄
I’ve never had a nickname but today, after talking about typefaces at length, a colleague called me ‘Fontzy’. I can run with that.
I’ve never drunk coffee purely for the rush, however the act of simply delaying the hot beverage to later in the morning does a lot to lift my energy and spirits. My poor colleagues…
Natasha brought some ruby chocolate home for me to try for the first time. That stuff is delicious; it’s almost like chocolate mixed with fruit, without being sickly.
These two cuties never cease to entertain me.
