Rogue and Rio are getting used to their new play centre!

Yes, yes and yes: It’s Time to Break up Facebook by Chris Hughes (The New York Times)

Some cockatoos were out for a little walk and a feed in MacCabe Park today. They crack me up with their screeching and waddling.

Natasha is a talented photographer; whenever I approach butterflies, they fly away.

Natasha and I stopped at Coffika at Ikea for a fika (Swedish for ‘break’) and my goodness, the coffee was good. The Swedes know what they’re doing. Here are two IKEA-endorsed people enjoying a traditional fika, hopefully with exactly seven biscuits, as prescribed.

Ahhh, Coca-Cola… you’re missing a hyphen here. How else would we enjoy ice, other than cold?

So much for airport security! Whilst on free Wi-Fi at Brisbane Airport today, I noticed that I could stream to different Apple TVs from my iPad. I was tempted to share my podcast with others!

I do enjoy walking past this plane at Illawarra Regional Airport.

I could not agree more with what @marco had to say about big podcasts on the latest ATP. People suggest shows to me every so often and they always feel scripted and overproduced. I want to hear genuine conversation.

Wollongong Harbour on a wonderfully sunny day!

Check out my quick review of the film Carmen and Lola on Lounge Ruminator.

Some thoughts on the significance of system branding… macOS 10.etc.etc. on Lounge Ruminator

This arrived at my office earlier in the week, addressed to me, and I have no idea who sent it.

I should have reached this milestone a long time ago but I’ve finally reached 100 posts on my blog Lounge Ruminator. It’s good encouragement to keep writing!

Have you received any annoying notifications from Apple Music recently? I have. Read more in Apple Music Pings on Lounge Ruminator.

‘Boys with ALTITUDE!’ A post by @natashakandilas…

Apr 2019

Today I saw a young kid out with family, riding a scooter and wearing a large crucifix. I accept that people raise kids with their own beliefs, however someone his age couldn’t possibly understand the weight of that symbol. Why decorate them with icons whose history they can’t yet comprehend? Kids are sponges and should be taught to question, not blindly accept.

Former Prime Minister (and regular buffoon) Tony Abbott was recently surprised by the seemingly new concept of a street library in his electorate of Warringah. Natasha and I spotted another one on Oxford Street in Sydney, so I thought that I would approach it as he did.

During a trip to the vet yesterday, Natasha discovered that one of our budgies, Rogue, is in fact female. Now all of her bonding with Rio makes sense: they’re lovers, not brothers! The breeder from whom we bought them was clearly wrong. 😂

The Easter long weekend is drawing to a close. It was fantastic to have the time to catch up with family and friends… most of it unplanned!

Great billboard

This is an annual tradition for me and Natasha. Palace Cinemas in Sydney has the best film festivals.

Like @macgenie’s guinea pigs, mine also enjoy sharing cucumber.

Perfect weather in Wollongong today!
