“The real concern driving CEO resistance is the fact that remote work involves a previously unthinkable change in the way productive activity is structured and organised. If workers can do without the physical presence of managers, perhaps they don’t need managers at all, at least in the way they currently operate. The eagerness of CEOs and other senior managers to wish these changes away suggests that, at some level, they realise this.”
*Removing as it was a rant
My kid is going camping with friends this weekend which is a little sad because the dog will miss her but gee it’s gonna be one hellva party when she goes.
Was given the day off today (didn’t want it, or tomorrow, but we’re quiet ATM) so I thought I’d make the best of it by using uneaten strawberries to make jam. It’s still cooling but it seems ok. Also waffles
Mmmm waffles
OMG
That looks soooooo good!
I commented before and the jamwaffle looks delicious, but I don’t know how you managed to achieve the Donna Hay cookbook food porn photo. Amazing.
Aw thankyou! I got lucky with the lighting
that all looks very delicious
Cheers revellers 🍺

Idk about any of you. But $35 to get into the Royal Melb Show to pat and feed the sheep and goats was 100% worth the price of admission.
The piglets, deer, llamas, and rabbits were just so dang cute
photos
Aww man 🥰 I’ll have to make sure I take the kids and go next year 🤞🏼
It’s on until Oct 6 but it is terribly expensive. Best to bring your own lunch and snacks and look at all the animals and other competitions.
Yeah, we got Tix for 35 bc we both have Health Care Cards. Otherwise it is exxy as. Still is.
Didn’t get any food there, but did buy some coffees, checked out all the animals (ag shed, petting/feeding the animals) and went into most buildings. Got a show bag for Mickey, because they had a cat one, and he loves his new wand toy. And I bought a little cat ring heheh. Hopped on two rides. No regrets, and today was a good day as it wasn’t too crowded at all.
Oh my god the bunnies!
They didn’t say what breed they were, but I reckon they’re mini lops. You can tell by their size (a bit bigger than a guinea pig), and their ears are ‘loppy’ hence the name. Dwarf lops are bigger versions (like what PeelerSheila posted). They’re super common pets because they’re very friendly and docile.
I couldn’t believe they had actual deer! I did end up getting a photo of one!
I’ve never seen a deer in real life!
Fuck it I might go tomorrow lol
Moar dinosaurs! I don’t expect to win Ace of Cakes, but pretty happy so far.
I love them and the one in the front’s cute little teeth 😃
Raaaaawr!
I love them. 🥹
I YIELD THE ONE RING
I HAVE ONE TOO
WE RULE THEM ALL
Um nah I’m just ruler of my own.
Take it easy huh… I’m sure there’s a medication for that.
IN THE DARKNESS BIND THEM
Um, watch out around the Gladden Fields if you should happen to be passing through.
Thank you but we are sure we will be fine
Be sure to put it back where you got it from when you’re finished with it. Or no dessert for you.
WE SHALL EAT CHERRY TOMATOES
Or Bill
🔥🔥🔥Ooh kinky. Is it getting hot in here?🔥🔥🪢

This is the most animated bacon I’ve ever seen
TREACHEROUS AS THE SEAS
“And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth!”
She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.
“I pass the test”, she said. “I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel.”
Or
“In place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!”
Idk which I prefer 😭😭
you take the book i take the movies
And where did you get this one ring?
From Sauron, duh. 😂
FROM A FINGER
What has it got in it’s pocketses?
🛟
I DID IT !!!. It was a little button on my phone God dammit.
Already have one fence dispute (or more specifically Unreasonable flow of water between properties) for the shed up the back. Neighbour came over a few weeks ago and couldn’t see a problem. She got the council to come over and look at it FROM HER SIDE and didn’t give me the heads up so they could look at it from MY SIDE. Tried calling the council several times at least take a squizz but to no avail yet.
Definitely no problemo there. All they have to do is remove a little bit of soil from their side and let it dry out over summer and put in a little retaining wall / moisture barrier.
Now the other fairly long / high paling fence on the same boundary is collapsing (really fkn wobbly). re-doing the veggie patch so have a heap of old redgum sleepers. Propped it up heavily on my side so when / if it falls it’s not falling my way hah.
The time has come - I’ve listed my beloved car for sale. She’s been amazing fun, but I just can’t justify it anymore. Yes, I’ll cry when she goes. Of course, I adore my new car, but it’s a bit of a brat while my old car was a beast.
Tell me about your favourite cars? What did you love about them? Have you still got them? Or a a favourite car related story?!
My 2003 Honda civic. Never skips a beat. plan on using that until it carks it.
On the posh side the old man’s newish BMW 440i. So much tech in that thing a lot of it is useless, like choosing how loud you want the engine start noise to be, changing colour of the led strips, the auto motorised seatbelt, changing the screen to sport mode to see how many g’s you’re pulling, using the centre console button as a touch mouse for the sat nav. Impressive and fun but ridiculously pointless.
Sometimes old school is just best! Although I do love being a passenger in a fancy car and getting to push all the buttons!
My condolences. I’ve recently lost a beloved car too. I’ve had 2 favorites: A Liberty, and then an Impreza. Sold the impreza to due to family stuff and I miss it every day. But my WRX fund is at about 5% of its target goal and slowly growing.
I contemplated a WRX, but that would have lead me down the path that’s meant I’ve had to move this mustang (way too many mods). I test drove a BRZ and oh my gosh it was so fun.
Was it? all I ever heard was it was slow. Yeah I want her to be totally stock. Nothing special at all. Thats half the fun of it. Driving it as subaru intended.
Red 1988 Corolla sedan, unglamorous and reliable. It was economical to run and never gave us any trouble. When I (amicably) split up with that ex he bought out my share (I needed the money and he needed the car). As his first “I’m single now so I might go on a trip” activity, he decided to go to Mallacoota and Gipsy Point and chill out. On the highway near Genoa Peak a wombat waddled out onto the road, he hit it and totalled the car and the wombat walked away! He was thankfully uninjured.
Wow, so glad he was uninjured (and the wombat!). What a way for the car to go out, nice that you’d already been able to say farewell to it though :)
I hated my 92 Pintara with every fibre of my being.
Aw why?!
1962 purple Beetle. Was my first car, and the independence it gave me! Many things I could fix on it myself, it was a great learning period of life. It was off the road for repairs more than it was on. My current car is a VF SS wagon. I love it and its one of my dream cars. I will keep it till I die, but I even have to take it to my mechanic to change a headlight globe!
Fellow wagoneer 🤙
One of the best looking cars around imo.
I discovered a low km Walkinshaw for sale in NSW for 70k. Very tempting. Colour is shit but still. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/holden-special-vehicles/clubsport/r8-tourer-badge/
I agree with you on the white, but you know it would be a lot of fun to drive. Maybe not as much fun to insure (they’re getting pinched alot atm) and keeping the fuel tank full. But if I had the means, I’d buy mine again because they’re the last of a drivers car, if you know what I mean.
That’s wicked fun!! What a cool car to learn on! The VF SS’s are beasts!
She goes alright, but I usually drive like a grandma!
My old 1972 VW Kombivan. Still miss him. Partner on many an adventure.
Oh, what colour?! That’s so cool!
White and red. Yes, he did have curtains on the side windows. No power steering and manual shift. Was a real arm and leg workout to drive. But beautifully balanced and could handle the roughest of dirt roads. Never had a stack or a problem with his innards either.
Fabulous!! Did he have a name?!
ahem, cough cough, Herbert. Well, he was a VW. Just a bit more formal …
My first car was an 82 blue Corolla which was my husband’s first car handed down to me. I got my licence in it. It was like a ride on lawn mower with a good pioneer and speakers in it.
My car now is a 2006 Corolla. A much better ride on lawn mower but with air con, mp3 and 6 speaker surround sound.
Gotta love a Corolla, so reliable!
My 1st car was a brown 79 Gemini, which meant independence as there was no PT where I grew up. Sticking to a theme, 2nd car was an 83 Gemini. Both were great but they developed wiring problems, which seems to be a Holden thing.
Current car is an old commodore which will probably need replacing soonish. I love it, but it’s not economical to run and is starting to develop some issues. It’s a shame because I hate car shopping with a passion. Maybe if I hold onto it long enough it will become collectible and go up in value, lol.
Go the Gemini!
I used to have a gemini turbo diesel
Oh no. Oh no.
Chillies have germinated far too fast and I haven’t even calculated the amount of soil I’ll need to pot what I can. It’s also too cold outside for them in Northcote. This is a disaster.
But I’m gonna break, I’m gonna break my
I’m gonna break my rusty caaaaaaage
and run 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇
I’ll listen to that on the way to work. I always forget that album.
Then what are you going to do? 🍿
Eat your popcorn

Woke up early to pick up the new Zelda.
Bought some food and self maintenance stuff. Marvelled at the Cinderella experience set up.
Also had a haircut too. Feels nice to have it cut and all neat now.
Lunch has been had and now have my coffee.
I feel like I want to take out my bins but it feels too early
This whole taking a break from working thing is doing wonders for my mental health and sleep but that sleep is happening at really weird hours.
