I have to reverse the hilux onto a trailer to put lick out. The shed faces west which means for most of the day, the shadows are such that you can't see the trailer until you're about a metre away from it. I strongly dislike the Uncle who had it built that way.

Feels like it wasn’t that long ago I was complaining about the cold. The hilux said it was 47° this afternoon one a water run. I whinge so much about the weather I could be a farmer! 😂

So it turns out I’m not old and soft, I’m experiencing a “Severe Heatwave”.

Dear Bureau of Meteorology, Queensland your new site is terrible. And for the record, I can attest that it does not feel like 38 in Julia Creek... Feels considerably hotter than that.

Its 9am, and already this hot... (feels like temp is way out as well). I don't plan on leaving the air conditioned office unless there is an emergency.

I currently have no unread emails. Possibly for the first time this year. Is this what being organised feels like? Weird. Not sure I like it. 🤔

Well it’s that time of year where I shouldn’t just walk around the place in thongs. Largish brown snake came out from under a pallet in the shed this morning to warn me off. Came within 30cm of my feet. Wearing thongs. You’ll need to excuse me as I go change my pants…

Using quite a bit of AI this afternoon, gemini to create a logo (its better than Canva AI and ChatGPT) now getting copilot to expand upon a chatgpt created business plan. This is getting scarily capable. So I got gemini to make these meme - (& I'm sure its laughing at me)...

If you’ve some time check out “Inside Kylemore Abbey” on SBS Demand. Sister Genevieve Harrington is Dad’s cousin & went from growing up on a sheep station at Richmond Qld to making chocolates at Kylemore Abbey on the West Coast of Ireland. Gillian Fennell get your Dad to watch 🙂

Do we remember me complaining about having mobile service over most of the property? Ppl could reach me more and that’s annoying? Yeah… I like it now. Makes chasing bushfires SOOOO much easier 😂

I’m still very curious as to what Albo wanted from Bob to get him this portrait 🤔

I messaged our Fuelman at 6:45am this morning saying we were out of diesel. 3pm this afternoon a fuel truck arrives. Can’t complain about that sort of service!

facebook.com/share/v/17Q6VM… Is there a betting book on when Barnaby joined One Nation? Cause if the odds are good enough, I'd like to place a bet...

I need the monsoons to start soon. The smoke is so thick outside I can actually smell it over the hayfever it creates. Neighbours lost 20K acres a few weeks ago & this map barely shows it when zoomed in so I'm figuring these fires a lot bigger than it shows which is big enough...

abc.net.au/news/2025-10-0… Oscar not sure if you saw this in the news. It’s led to more brownouts in the Normanton area (less now as many poles have burnt in bushfires). It doesn’t give a positive spin to many regional Qlders on renewables
