Thanks, Charlse @PossumPartyGlider, sky @scroeser, Stu @stufromoz, and rusty @mativity for the reposts! Much appreciated! 👍👍👍👍

@psychopoesie of course its hers. Try not to let it get you down.💐

@psychopoesie she doesn’t sound like a ‘friend’. What a cheek! Real friends appreciate being told about life - changing events.

@stufromoz nice to hear. Excuse my scepticism.

@stufromoz Oh the israeli trick: well investigate ourselves. Yep, nothing to see here.

@caity actually, 100,000 IU, in turns out. Vitamin D injection once a month. 😕

Not 10 capsules a day 🙃

@LifeTimeCooking yep, just being dumbed down, like ABC News. Sad.

The decline and fall of Civilization, Part Ten.

ABC #Classic presenter this morning just called Vivaldi's Concerto For Violin in D minor, described by some as "rhythmically spontaneous, texturally disjunct, and contrapuntally rebellious." and " so intangible but so present." as ... ..grungy.

How erudite of her. 😑

She then went on to play an orchestral version of The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star, and burbled about Julie from Newcastle texting in that Rod Stewart's When I Need Is You is the most romantic piece of music ever written and to send in more romantic requests like this for Valentine's Day. And you might get your pic played!

I guess Vivaldi is just too elitist for her. I"m sure he didn't write any love songs.

#melbourne yes!

@caity 10,000ml says the script 😬

@timhopper @mybirdpins I can understand voting for the robin. I think 2021, our no. 1 was this fluffball, the Superb Fairy Wren.

@caity vitamin d capsules, very high dosage for 5 months.

My GP just rang to let me know that my routine blood test showed a Vitamin D count so low, it wasn't even measurable 😱

Well, I've also told not to get any sun between 9.30am and 5.30am, because of my skin problems, so what do they expect?

Yes, I eat lots of tuna and salmon.

@mybirdpins Yes, and yet its been top three for three years in a row now.

The Lorikeet is certainly the most often encountered but is not that popular.

@LifeTimeCooking yes! Cold, even, this morning with a drop of 20C ☺️ but so much nicer at night for sleeping.

And you?

"Do you come from a land down under.. ?" 👷‍♂️🚧🙂 The first Australian quiz has landed https://birdbrainer.app ! Find it under its flag, or in the "Australasian Realm" collection. The Rainbow Lorikeet wins the day, we think! 😍 #birdbrainerapp #birdbrainer | #birdsoftheworld #birds 🇦🇺 #australia

@mybirdpins but where’s Australia’s favourite, the Tawny Frogmouth, as voted in last year’s #Birdlife and Guardian #BirdOfTheYear poll? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I scored 6/6 (100%) on the Common Birds of Australia (6) quiz at Bird Brainer! https://birdbrainer.app/

@bakuninboys Crikey?

You know you are getting old when a drop in temperature of 20 degrees from one day to the next knocks you sideways.

@LifeTimeCooking @caity first thing, I make a little pot of tea with Madura organic black tea and take it back to bed. This is my ‘even I’m not retired, I’m going to start the day as if i am’ mode.
