Just wait until they hit the 90s playlist and you get Fools Garden and Michael Learns to Rock.
Traffic lights?!?!?!
Definitely! I was struggling to figure out which train to get from Southern Cross to Flinders St this morning. Google Maps wasn’t helping (nor was the escalator renovation situation 🙄)
I’ve forgotten how to Melbourne. Forgot to press the train door button. Forgot that the Queen Vic Market is closed on a Wednesday. Forgot to bring an extra layer…
Hope she’s ok and just having a grumpy moment…
In other cow-related war food news...
Cheese pioneer Léon Bel ("Ba! ba! ba! Ba baby...") was in the French army in WW1. "Valkyrie" was the truck he drove along the Voie Sacrée daily to surply Verdun.
He painted a cow on its side:
"La Vache Qui Rit"
Anyway that's how Laughing Cow cheese was born.
Don't hang out where cattle graze after midnight. It's pasture bedtime.
Latest debacles at the State Library of Victoria: an arresting report by Gideon Haigh. Is the Board illegal as well as awful? Is the withdrawn 'restructure' proceeding by stealth (cultural vandalism, expertise-jettisoning, giant video screens in the Dome, etc)?

Fair enough!
Oh, *wow*!
Ah, the clapotis! I think I’ve made three…
I like the sense of ooooooooooooh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit 😄
I love the maroon! And the colourful scarf is gorgeous.
Yumiko Alexander’s “Forest Weave” knitted top.
It’s a drop stitch cabled top. I hate knitting with anything cotton or linen but the idea of the finished garment was too tempting. Regretting it even prior to cast on
Hmm, not so good…
I’m currently winding a black cotton-linen blend and I already know I’m going to hate this project 🤣
Oooh! Perfect day 😍
Long read. Very well put together. Very important. Thank you Gareth Hutchens.
@lesvachesdutour.bsky.social Moo!
Boycott the World Cup.
Boycott the Olympics.
‼️
Also: I’m now doing a where-are-they-now on Franciscus Henri…
Well now I’m heading down unexpected rabbit holes…
I’m missing this! The irony of bike races in your own time zone clashing with (ugh) *work* 😆
❤️❤️❤️
Oooops! Sorry 😆😆😆
“Few cows reach her age of 13 years old, or live in such a stimulating environment. That said, the researchers believe cattle may simply be smarter than people have previously realised.”
The Welsh word for a ladybird is buwch goch gota, which I’d translate as STUBBY RED COW. The Vietnamese word for a ladybird, which means “turtle bug,” is BỌ RÙA. And, in a pleasing linguistic coincidence, in Irish BO RUA means RED COW.
