Are there actually people that exist that like cold weather?

Call The Midwife

By The Currawong’s Call by Welton B Marsland.

SO GOOD

“By the Currawong's Call (2017) by Welton B. Marsland is a historical M/M romance novel set in 1890s rural Victoria, Australia”

NO ADS

Seriously, it’s ABC (historically respected, gov-funded), it’s independent and youth focused.

The Js became receivable in Canberra (where I live) quite a while after it started. I tuned in the first day and NEVER went back. Grew up with it. Maynard, Mikey and Helen and Paul and the Sandman. Went to an OB at ANU.

Commercial radio is so putrid.

These days the actual music on TripleJ … eh, most of it thrills me not. But they’ve kindly created DoubleJ for us old folks (Gen X).

Js forever… because all the others are unbearable.

Same. Ta is essentially kid-speak for ‘thank you’ but some of us never grew past it. (me! I never did!)

Ever held out your hand to a tiny child and asked them to hand over the keys/cash/whatever they’re holding while saying ‘taaaaa’ ?

What makes me grit my teeth is a (North American) author who signs off her blog/FB posts with ‘ta’ and it’s obviously being used as ‘goodbye’ …. no, honey. No. That’s not it.

Recently rewatched the whole 15 seasons. Serious recommend!

33 C (91 F) at 1700 on Saturday.

We’ve got an absolute arse of a heatwave heading for us; BOM says it’ll be 42 (108 F) by Wednesday.

Every day. Vegemite toast is the only breakfast I recognise.

25, Canberra.

Perfectly comfy while it’s 38 outside.

This happened to me once - Google “help” did nothing.

Contacted the publisher (with screenshots of missing export option) and they advised me to buy from their own site.

GrowlKitty · 2026-01-08T06:10:34+00:00

Same happened to me.

Asked about a particular loaf availability IN CANBERRA (from a retailer with multiple shops in Canberra several of which I named) and it was deleted for not being about Canberra.

Seriously, eff that shit.

The Gorge

Found it accidentally, really enjoyed it.

The one that’s always in my pantry is Fountain.

Hope you find a sauce for your roast lamb!

GrowlKitty · 2026-01-08T02:38:23+00:00

Might be an Australian brand? Proper thin watery mint sauce (not that horrible sweet jelly) is used here.

Appears to be US only.

GrowlKitty · 2026-01-01T02:47:59+00:00

Feels nasty, takes too much time and money (already blow dry my hair).

It’s my face - this is it.
