What a beautiful jumping #spider. The colours and jumping ability of these spiders are something else.

Some local birds. It is unusual to see an egret(?) outside a local cafe. The pied butcher birds (my mates) come down whenever I mow or disturb the ground cover.

I have just made the delicious sounding (and about to be sampled) lemon myrtle and finger lime shortbread, created by @gomichild. I have lemon myrtle trees but not the time to dry the leaves, so I had to buy a packet, but I did dehydrate some finger limes donated by my neighbour, and ground them. I did not have a stamp so I just attacked the shortbread rounds with a tea scoop thingy! The recipe is available here https://www.skool.com/food-cooking-2213/classroom/b6667110

I love setting up low voltage garden lighting. Apart from the hassle of running cable, connections, moisture and drilling a hole to connect to the transformer inside, it is kind of like putting Lego together. The light on the fence in the background is running of a battery with a solar panel to charge it. The bms includes a variable time delay in hours past sunset, so no tweaking required from season to season. #lowvoltage #garden #solar

Dogs are so special. We have been back in Coco’s life for a few days after looking after her last in 2024. Complete trust and lots of affection, and it is close to meal time!😋 #dogsofmastodon #papillondogs

Hi @GossiTheDog. A while ago you posted a link to a Oz site with a wonderful take on the current guy in the Whitehouse. Would you please reshare as I want to enjoy it again and share with some folks who are suffering directly from his quirks!

I can still remember TripleJ announcing his untimely death! I still find his version of Hallelujah the best, and he was a fan of Led Zeppelin! Going to have to listen to Grace end to end now. 🥺 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-30/jeff-buckley-movie-its-never-over-documentary-michale-tighe/106517122?utm_source=abc_news_app&amp;utm_medium=content_shared&amp;utm_campaign=abc_news_app&amp;utm_content=link

Sometimes the internet delivers! My 10 year old #bosch dishwasher has a problem that looks likely to be a faulty heat pump. A quick search with #vivaldibrowser using startpage turned up, a written how to replace, and even better, a real person video showing step by step replacement. The pump part cost is about 25% of the cost of a new dishwasher and having a repair person do the job would probably be 50% of the cost. So now the decision comes down to fixing it myself or new replacement! Hmm.

Managed to get a clear photo of the waning gibbous (97% full according to willy weather) #moon this morning just on sunrise so less hassle with brightness!
