Dear magpies, how about we call it a truce this swooping season? Look, I’m even trying to blend in more. If the urge to go after my helmet proves too tempting, have a complimentary chopstick. They’re scented with sushi and Wagyu beef Yours in res-peck-t, YS
All over here at North Sydney and we go down by 29 points.
The Saints too good but what an occasion for our club in our first game.
Thank you to the 8264 fans that came out today
OUR FIRST GOAL!!
Bec Privitelli with a free kick and makes no mistake with the shot on goal. She writes her name down in the history books as our team’s first goal kicker!

I’ve long been interested in constructive journalism. Reporting solutions and best practice can sit comfortably alongside news breaking and investigations. It’s part of fully informing audiences. Highlighting what works is also a powerful way to pinpoint where change is needed.
“News avoiders” are deserting us in droves, to escape one of the gloomiest news agendas I’ve ever known. So is solutions based journalism the way to lure them back? @JNicoleNews @SabraLane @SeanDaganWood @tirosenberg #Journohttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/journo/id1584542376?i=1000577229322…

New statement from Governor General David Hurley claims he “had no reason to believe that appointments would not be communicated” re: Scott Morrison’s five secret ministries
The @BOM_au has just issued a La Niña ALERT, meaning there is now a 70% chance of La Niña being declared later this year. If it is, this would be the first time on record we have seen 3 consecutive La Niña events coinciding with back-to-back negative IOD years.
Aside from all the obvious objections to Scott Morrison’s behaviour, if he was so worried about Ministers being taken out by Covid why didn’t he share the ministries around? Did he somehow believe he alone would be miraculously immune to the disease? #auspol
331 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. The question I am repeatedly asked by Afghan women and girls is if they are forgotten – whether the outside world cares and if so, what is it prepared to do? #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

OBIT
Daisy Boo Biscuit Potter today departed for the great litter tray in the sky, aged 18.
Daisy was voted ‘objectively worst cat in the world’ 3 years running, and her hobbies included vomiting and ignoring us.
Sickening news. “Rushdie will likely lose an eye and suffered severed nerves in an arm and damage to his liver after he was stabbed, his agent said, adding that Rushdie was on a ventilator.”
Not a dry eye in this house either. Thank you Joey. Your leadership, the way you played the game, your decency and humility made us all so proud to support the Swans. Go well. #Bloods
My tribute to Judith Durham, with treasured memories of a winter afternoon I spent with her a couple of years ago. A privilege to have met her and recorded a lifetime of memories. #RIPJudithDurhamhttps://theage.com.au/culture/music/judith-durham-valued-adversity-and-blessings-in-disguise-20220807-p5b7wz.html…
Wonderful Hil, so clever, funny and generous. Her commitment and contribution to the arts was immense. She knew how to look after creative people. Fond memories of her NYE parties and her wicked smile. Very sad we have lost her.
Sad news, the legendary Hilary Linstead died last night. She'd been unwell for some time and passed peacefully at home with family.
My agent, manager and most treasured friend for some 40 years.
So many in the theatre, film and comedy scene owe her so much.

Watching Amadeus with the 10 year old and the Don G scene comes on.
I sang 2 seasons whilst pregnant and wondered if he remembered (Mi tradi lulled him to sleep as a bub!).
Me: Do you remember this music? Do you know which Mozart opera this is?
Xander: Ummm … CATS? 😳😂
