Last Notes npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Oh no... poor arthritic taps. 😵💫 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 I'm endlessly fascinated with these hard core 'living on the road' grey nomads' massive rigs. These 2 have a house on wheels and they tow a little car (for popping down to the shops 🤣). Imagine the fuel costs, but I guess that's all part of the lifestyle if you've sold your house (not my cup of tea but wow). Look at the washing machine and dryer! Clever. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Wut? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Innisfail, pop about $10,000, seems to have a substantial Indian population, with 2 Indian restaurants and an Indian grocery. We've seen a lot of Sikhs/Panjabis around town. Anyhooo, we're eating out tonight and this joint is doing a roaring trade, unsurprisingly! 👌... ping @npub1emv…wnhu npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Not pictured: Bob Katter's central electorate office, Innisfail. We are surrounded here by sugar cane and banana farms, and LOTS of big Aussie flags. Katter country, also PHON country, yay. And a lotta crocs, no doubt. 🤣🐊 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 2/. Port Douglas: I simply don't get the attraction of a distant location with literally mile upon mile of (ugly) resorts and holiday accomm, but a beautiful long beach you can't swim at. Why travel great distances just for expensive accommodation and expensive shopping/ eating/ drinking... and no beach swimming? Anyone?? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 What fun! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Cheers from Australia's 'Top Pub' (most northerly) on Thursday Island. 🍺 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Thursday Island! Two hours on this boat first. 🎉 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Stupidly got chatting to a woman at the clothes line, which started off with innocent weather convo. Quickly degenerated into sov cit / one nation gobbledygook: this weird weather is all caused by the atrocities in the world... and the banks, apparently. #Queensland 🤯 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Faaarrqqq, I'm acopic here in the tropics. I'd have no hope in summer. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Charters Towers, wow there was some wealth here once upon a time: plenty of impressive civic buildings, pubs and banks. Gold, apparently. Anyhooo, now it's beef and country music. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 I was a bit overcome meeting Priya and Nades (in Biloela), and we glimpsed the girls who are very grown up. 🧡 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Today's excitement: Biloela for lunch! Hoping Priya and Nades have their food truck open. 🤞 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Spent several hours at the Cleveland museum learning about himself's ancestors who settled in Redland Bay in the early 1870s. Willie (age 18) was taken by a shark in 1905 trying to save a young woman, and the family home burned to the ground in 1936. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Staying with a cousin of himself's on the Gold Coast. Lovely people, with lots of fascinating local family history chat. They are Queenslanders though, so it being mid winter (= SUMMER to us), the house is like a fortress with all heaters blaring. We have retired to our upstairs suite, where I have turned off the heater, thrown off several blankets and am trying to find a window which opens.... 🥵 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 After a lovely day and night with old friends in Burleigh, we have now arrived at our first dam of the holiday: the (Russ) Hinze Dam. Himself, being a rampant damaholic, deserves praise for lasting 10 days, but how many more will there be? It's a constant struggle. Coffee!! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Broke camp at 6.30 am, now just half an hour from Burleigh. Stopped in Murwillumbah for morning tea only to discover a MARMALADE CATASTROPHE in one of Rhonda's cupboards: my cumquat marmalade had fallen over, lid had come off and it had oozed everywhere. Clean-up done, but what a waste, lucky we have a box of my jam and marmalade to give away, with spares. Gah! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 First free camp of the holiday, about 30km south of Casino. Quiet rest area, almost no-one here, and there's a 'windy loo'. Didn't arrive till 7pm so we've just had fried eggs, raw vegies, and toast and marmalade for tea. Very early start tomorrow so we can get to friends at Burleigh Heads by mid morning (scenic route). npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Sitting around at daughter's, waiting for a parcel which has been on board for delivery since 7am. We have to be on the road by 2pm or we'll turn into pumpkins. To quote Blackboard: "Hurrrry up.." npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Perfect weather so far in Port Macquarie. Daughter is on leave so we've been out and about, also relaxing at her lovely home. Walked into town today to the farmers' markets to get Hainan chicken ingredients for tomorrow night. Also bought far too many snacks at the local Indian grocery, murukku! 👌 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Oh frabjous day! 🎉 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Lovely evening with @npub12cj…hqkq at the new food precinct East Traders Hall... very busy! Anyway, forgot to take a pic, dopey duck. Early night, up at 6am for an early departure. #CapeYork npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Quick trip to the tip in Ronnie and Rhonda, fully loaded, to check GVM. We're at 3.42 tonnes, so we have 80kg to spare to stay under the limit for safety. Drink!! #CapeYork npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 I have no idea how this works, it simply defies all common sense. I'm sorry she's so awful to you and other trans folk, it's just so unfair and cruel. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 There was a lot of egregiosity (is that a word?😆) in Poorlean's address today, unsurprisingly, but the thing that really did surprise me was her tirade against the #trans situation, straight out of the MAGA playbook. Absolutely DISGUSTING. She's such a piece of shit.🤮🤬💩 #AusPol npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Bloody hell, that's surprising. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Wow. Where?? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 PSA Ken Behrens!! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Life eh? Hope you can keep the balls in the air, and yay for leftovers! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Friend at Mitchell Falls today, lucky duck. She chickened out on the hike in though, and took the chopper. So bloody hard to get to (but worth it): 8 hours drive off the Gibb River Rd, corrugations all the way, then 2 hours hike in the heat; then the same again in reverse. You only do it once in a lifetime, but they're the most spectacular falls in the country IMO. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 We did !! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 New Zealand?! Yes, maybe. But Melbournites deffo used to EL their ALs, at least when I was growing up; not so much these days with the countrywide Americanisation of our language. I clearly remember Bert Newton saying belcony etc. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Go Albania!! 🦩 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Yes, I'm looking forward to the Mars shitshow, although I'll prolly be dead by then. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 That idiot trillionaire has 14 kids. Just saying. 😱 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Fabulous. We have a new joint near us in CBR run by North Vietnamese and it takes me straight back to the 70s when I shared a house with a Colombo Plan guy from Nth VN who was a great cook. Very lucky. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Lol. David was clearly from Melbourne, where AL is pronounced EL. Examples: elbum, belcony, elpacker. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Same and same! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 See? Silverchair all over again! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Silverchair has won this years Unearthed High again! Wait... 🤔 #Newcastle npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Hahahaha, Jane Hume trying to convince us that Tony Abbott is doing a great community service by taking up the *voluntary* job of Lib president, then going on a listening tour. Sure darls.. 🤣 #AusPol npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 😬 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 It's an insult. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Oh FFS... grandparents?! Maybe all grandparents should have them?? How ridiculous. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 The GG on 7.30 tonight (after doing the Big Freeze 👏), discussing Richard Scolyer's 'passing'. Vale the word 'DEATH', which I'm still yet to hear after a day's news and an awful lot of PASSING. Get a grip Straya. #death npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 The morning started with a cat vomit, which then precipitated a cascade of further drama (I'll spare you the details). I'm now back in bed with a second cuppa after the first went out the window, not literally. A morning of exercise, packing, and tidying... we leave at 2.30 this arvo for the Merimbula Jazz Festival, via the cattery. 🎶🎉🥂 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Oh FFS. How do they get away with this shit?! I boycotted them years ago... arseholes. They've lost the plot. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Such a bloody shitshow. Time for a rejig of our priorities, with the Orange running the US. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 He certainly is, but what I wanna know is WhyTF Albanese leapt straight in as Oppo leader as soon as AUKUS was announced.. ??! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 I know. He's such a brilliant writer and all round human being. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Poor bloody Rick Morton. Do you subscribe to his emails? They're wonderful. He's living in Paris, writing a novel; but despite loving Paris and the social life he's having a bit of a bad time with his mental health and life events. 💔 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Nothing worse than a dud cuppa first thing in the morning! #teagate npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 What happened in the end? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Time there was a proper, national system to screen the elderly for driving licences. This happened at my local supermarket, and our large Bhutanese community was devastated. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Bit of a shock this morning as our wonderful landcare leader announced she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Early 70s, always fit, lifelong vegetarian, intelligent, engaged, non smoker, rarely drinks alcohol. Shit... 😱 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 This is BIG. #ACTpol npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Frank!! This is so sad!! I'm so sorry. Sending lotsa hugs. Xx npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Grand daughter's NAPLAN stolen! Golly... npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 And they were the ones stolen?! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Looks excellent. (Annie Cannon Brookes!) npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Our bloody PM does that. 🤬 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Sigh, the bloody generation wars... so bad. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Unions not strong there? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Fair enough too, ha! What a cheek. And yeah, I've been lucky to always live in places with sunny, safe drying spaces. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 I've never had a dryer. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 omgomgomg.... npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 How cute is this?! Our teeny $15 rice cooker for the camper (we're getting Rhonda ready for our trip), inaugural operation: running it off our new little inverter which is solar powered. Makes just enough rice for 2 people. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 They are fabulous. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Have you been there? They think differently. Hard to explain but there's this weird attitude that tolerates all sorts of contradictions as part of normal everyday life. 'Freedom' (sic) to do or be anything you like is celebrated, which leaves very little room for collective action or even a social conscience. It's insidious. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Hopeless. Part of the problem is that GPs have been dudded for ages, with (I think) the Medicare rebate being frozen: they're not getting much back from the govt so they have to slug us instead. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Greens ask Albanese in #QT whether he'll allow a conscience vote on a 25% gas tax. The PM gives THE WAR as his best excuse and waffles on about the fuel reserves he's secured. Greens call him out on relevance.... which he ignores. Pathetic. #AusPol npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 The shoulder is a very bad bloody design. Someone fucked up there... npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 2/. Just joined the walk for #TruthTelling heading up to Parly Hse. Several thousand walking quietly! #Reconcilation npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Travis Lovett on the ABC: he's at Reconciliation Place in Cbr, as his group completes their Mel to Cbr walk for #TruthTelling. Walking up to Parly Hse this morning. I'll be there later, after landcare. #AusPol npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 They look like feijoas, in which case they're edible. What are they like inside? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Yes, very sobering I'm sure. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Pretty amazing photo. Loved the text, reminded me of my grandfather's very mundane entries i his WW1 diary from Ypres. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Ooh, yum!! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Wasabi peas are unbetterable. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 I don't suppose it's still in that fab MCM building on MacQuarie St?? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 I hope it was VAD in the end. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Oh ffs... npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 The real ROI comes when you are old and over at their house(s) for dinner and they can whip up a lasagne from scratch. It's so good to teach your kids good cooking habits. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Horrid. Funny how delivery guys are always spraying around my front door and leaving it there with the pakkidge.. 😜 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Adrenaline! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Ouchies!! npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 ok... 🤯 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Pretty crazy. And if it wasn't for all the wonderful national parks and scenery on Hokkaido, the problem would be even more obvious there, as there's none of that old traditional Japanese history and architecture (but lots of Ainu!). npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 I enjoyed reading the full piece. Certainly explains a few observations we made on our only trip to Japan (Hokkaido). npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Valhalla. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Concrete slab? So you are permanently situated in the van? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Ah yes, the monument. Interesting about Houison, he was IIRC the archtitect of the 1839 house I grew up in, just across the Gasworks Bridge. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Absolutely! The best went too early. 💔 npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 And the location of Lady Fitzroy's death in a carriage accident IIRC from my childhood...? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Full marks to Stephen Colbert... managed to be a grown-up and contain his criticism of you-know-who. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Shiso, mainly because I have no idea what it would be like. npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Is she speaking to you yet? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 Woohoo, that is very exciting! Do you still have those neighbours who sit on their verandah and make a lot of noise? npub18j66cg54y4lv5a6a7qa0flce9sp3q4nj32c9vzqfted5t43st5zsk20e0q Jude🇵🇸 How wonderful Paul!! 🎉
