One of the better Trump cartoons I've seen Nicola Jennings on Putin’s dealings with Trump over Ukraine – cartoon https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2025/dec/07/nicola-jennings-putin-dealings-trump-ukraine-cartoon?CMP=share_btn_url

Well, I didn't get to commute on the motorbike in this week just gone, which is a pain. The weather was OK, and ithe rain had passed through, but the plate for my top box is too narrow for the luggage rack. Of course, lazy bones here decided to wait for the Sunday right before returning to work to try and mount the plate and top box, and found out too late to aget an adaptor kit (I searched through all sorts of shrapnel I have at home but nothing quite fit. Back at work, there is little time to research, but this morning, after teasing some locals about another Ashes crumble, I found an adapter kit on eBay, so hopefully it arrives by Tuesday as I am not going in until early Wednesday morning. And, at the moment, the weather gods are telling me Wednesday and Thursday there is a moderate chance of rain. Of course, at the moment, Tuesday is forecast to be raining (something like 95% chance of rain)... all day. I haven't yet had a chance to clean the bike and was going to do it Tuesday morning when I was taking a little time off for some errands.. not so.. I guess.. But, on the bright side, the weather is unseasonably warm with forecasts of 9 degrees C @3amon Wednesday morning where I live and 11 degrees in London at 6am (ETA). 10 degrees by 18:00 in London, and say 10pm when I get back to Halse, it should be 9 degrees still. Rain is forecast. Wind will be c. 12 mph for the two days, but forgivingly will be a tailwind both days. I will try andd get a quick ride in tomorrow or Tuesday to check all is OK with the Bike. Oh, and it looks like the man child will get a Honda CG125 for Chrissie. 2005 model, cheap as chips, to practice for his license course and test.

I was going to say we had an English summer - on Wednesday, before cold and rain on Friday and Saturday, but today was mild, with scattered cloud and long sunny periods.

Troppo is no problem this far south. Cabin fever takes it's toll in winter though. And winter comes about 3 times a year.

I would love to hear his first speech, I can just hear it in my head. “ Now we have got rid of that bad mutha f#$ker, let’s get on with it” would be the best opening line ever. i have liked his movies since seeing Pulp Fiction for the first time, he had a guest spot on latest season of Tulsa king which I finished watching last night.

Don't go Troppo. Nev

Like T aBot's Suppository of WISDOM? You are supposed to EAT Laxettes.. You have to get these things RIGHT. ie the Italian Lady down the street Reckons the for all the good the Pills her daughter uses, she Might as well be eating Em. Nev

Hopefully he thinks it's a suppository.

I do wonder whether tRump has managed to get all the foil off his FIFI Peace medal, before he ate the chocolate.....

My wife mentioned today that her friend calls her daughter "Dodo", and said "What kind of person calls their grown daughter Dodo??" Quickly I said "Maybe their ex stinks?" Got a laugh, for once!

Yep - almost too hot Friday, got the wood heater lit today. That's Tassie for you.

We had a lovely warm sunny day yesterday. Today was gloomy grey and rainy. Tonight is forecast to snow on Mt Wellington (Hobart). I blame BOM. They are doing this to us just to upset us.

Well. The aforementioned frontal band of rain arrived; pissed down rain for a few minutes, and pissed off. Not even a puddle in an ant lion's hole. The temperature dropped, but it felt very humid. The could is moving to teh northeast, so I suppose the NSW Nortehrn Rivers area will cop thunderstorms tonight.

Maybe you should send a stern letter to BOM?

Samuel L. Jackson for President!! 🙂

As I sit here at 4:30pm, my desktop weather meter says it's 40.5C and 17% RH. Wind is gusting to about 35 kts. The radar shows a frontal band of rain approaching, but I bet it will slip away to the southeast before a drop falls on me. This weather, especially the constant days of strong winds, is not normal. At this time of year the winds should be calm and the temperature in the low 30Cs.

There seems to be some folk in Yew Hess Hay, who seem somewhat disenchanted with the incumbent *resident of the White House. One such kind soul recently suggested their next election preference thus:- "Once again, if a 'Flaming Bag of Dog Poo on my Doorstep, that Someone Left after Ringing my Doorbell and Ran off' is on my ballot, and the only other choice is Trump or some other bullshitter MAGA tool who sees Americans as his enemy, I’ll vote for the bag of shit that doesn’t pretend to be something else." (American eloquence par excellence)

Sumer is icumen in. Sumer is icumen in, Lhude sing cuccu! Groweþ sed and bloweþ med And springþ þe wde nu, Sing cuccu! Awe bleteþ after lomb, Lhouþ after calue cu.
