This morning, eating my tofu scramble of toast, I thought, wow, Dutton lost his seat and Labour got in for a second term. My second thought was, wow, I'm eating tofu scramble in the sunshine and Dutton lost his seat and Labour got in for a second term. Happy days.

I'm under no illusion about Labour, but they did put in a better campaign and the leader of the conservative party is an absolute nob head that Aussies were rightly calling Temu Trump. At least keeping Labour in means a bit of stability in a world that's very chaotic at the moment and it has given me a little more faith in the Australian people.

So that's my weekend, aside from having the grandson down, making a new garden bed, and spray painting the bulkhead of the Land Rover (phew). As for the Weekend Experience QOTW, I thought I might answer them all at least briefly. Please don't take me too seriously.

Could you cut out sugar permanently? Explain why or why not.

Too easy. Have done it before. If you can't, you merely have a life threatening condition and are in denial, beholden to the Sugar Demons who present as God wrapped in coloured foil. Break free of your servitude, addicts & weaklings.

If you didn't have to work for your financial security (didn't need a job) what would you be doing instead?

Surf, garden, surf. Do you not know me by now?

What financial plan (other than crypto currency) have you put in place to secure your future? Explain.

Inheritance. My parents were boomers and I haven't got enough superannuation for retirement nor will I, because for health reasons I can't work very much. Besides I just can't bring myself to slave like a bitch and not live my life before I inevitably die of cancer or drown. Either that or poverty. I'll live off seaweed.

Give three reasons why people should like you and explain each.

I'm kind hearted. Whilst it might be behind a cynical, blackish humour, I'd do anything for you and my empathy extends to all living things.

I'm also a damn good cook. Come over for a meal and you won't be disappointed.

I'm also pretty resourceful, so I'm your girl in a zombie apocalypse. I have some badass skills foraging too, and making meals out of nothing.

What makes you angry, annoyed or upset and why?

Fucking Netanyahu committing genocide and the world just watching on, if not outright supporting Zionists. They have made me not give two shits about October 7 in the wake of the slaughter of thousands upon thousands of innocents. I shouldn't even have to say I'm against all terrorism but somehow we are forced to say 'fuck Hamas' as well when it was Israel that created the whole situation in the first place. And fuck the settlers too, with their long term plan to push out Palestinians. And fuck Trump for wanting to develop the Gaza strip.

Don't get me started on people who don't care about the environment. Or developers carving up land into parcels 300 m2 which ain't enough for anyone to have a garden. Or people who leave toilet paper behind in the bush.

I'm not sure I can be bothered explaining WHY because it should be self evident, though for some people it clearly isn't. I defriended someone I knew who was openly and loudly Christian yet said killing Palestinian children was justified in the wake of October 7. I'd do the same for anyone leaving rubbish behind at a campsite.

With Love,
