@Peter_Fitz I read recently, can't remember where, about a power bank of retired car batteries charged by solar used as a charging station for EVs.

Really? My tired EV battery can become home solar battery? Is that a thing? Fabulous, if so!

@stationmum101 Very funny. I once rolled a 2000gallon tank down a steep driveway behind a VK Commodore lol

Another reason I should stay off the hobby farmer pages - the temptation to say "kick it down the hill & have someone at the bottom to stop it" is too strong.

@throwsshadows I strained these solids from the sauce and fed them to delighted chookies.

@MarkDisher Yum

Satay sauce flavour base sweating down to go with garlicky fried king prawns, rice and bok choy stir fried with oyster sauce.

@stationmum101 I didn't own the stud my friend did.

@stationmum101 I did near Uki NSW. Every morning I'd climb up on a big fence post, clamber on the back of a lovely mare, ride her bare back no halter across the paddock to the shed and feed her boiled oats. My grandpa and great uncle ran a team of 21 between the wars at Tarlee.

I mean yeah…who hasn’t?

Time to get the vacola going.

@basedbrickpush1 patronising cunt

Don't think I've ever met an Australian I didn't like. Super direct. Low threshold for bullshit. Can take a joke. Turns out that the prison island idea is pretty solid.

@mcnaughthelen1 Your tweet appeared randomly so I've followed you because I'm invested in the results. I've done purple figs wrapped in prosciutto with blue cheese, honey and walnuts which was delicious so I reckon your recipe will be as well.

I'm trying out a recipe for baked pears with blue cheese, walnuts and honey

@mrtonymartin I loved you on that show with Molly. He really coaxed you out of your shell. Good on him.

It seems I need to again point out that I did not do a radio show with Molly Meldrum. Although I do enjoy being mistaken for Gavin Wood. abc.net.au/news/2026-03-1…

@mrtonymartin @declanf gag du jour Mr Martin.

@declanf Don't push me, cos I'm close to the hedge.

@GutterTwits Thank you. It's been a while since my last blessing. x

@MarkDisher bless you.

I have dubbed the two geckos living in my back courtyard Larry & Harry. 🦎🦎 But today I noticed they have a little baby gecko too. Must be adopted.

@juliettemm I have a drawer full of 'clean' individual socks and most days I manage to pair up some unfolded socks. I add, that I always wear clean socks, just not folded or always matching. (Usually matching...true).

Takes me the same amount of mental energy to fold socks as it does other people to climb Mt Everest

@GutterTwits Well I think it is true of course...lucky little orphan to find Larry and Harry.

@MarkDisher Don't go spoiling my narrative....

@GutterTwits The 'adopted' bit might not be true but...

@MarkDisher And it's true...! I'm watching them now.... 😊

@SandyHorne61 Root out your maps to find the route to your new root. All pronounced root.

More and more in Australia, we're hearing the word 'route' pronounced the American way.

Every year I plant leeks to harvest from autumn to spring. Some bolt to seed so these ones are going to be a trivet under a roast chook adding a subtle flavour to the pan gravy. Also the last pumpkin from 2025 and some giant marties.

@AdelaideBook @ozteachertalk @JaneCaro Well they were my new thongs for anything public. Church didn't figure real often.

@MarkDisher @ozteachertalk @JaneCaro Church thongs! La-di-da!

Absolutely. Australia now has one of the most segregated education systems in the OECD, by social class but also by religion, race and gender. How does this help social cohesion? thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/topic/…
