mastodon 4.7.2Sydney Australia, expat American, can't believe my luck to be Australian, too. Ex-wife deserves credit for getting me here: Never going to return (at least not after my parents pass).

Sydney Harbour view. Business meeting at one of those ritzy consulting companies afforded view I don't get much of. Or at all.

Already notoriously corrupt, FIFA wants to sell itself to Kushner, consolidating their corruption standing as world class.
Don't watch FIFA football ever again.

It's not another MRI he needs: It's the 25th Amendment.

I want to know if they had to lure him into the catering container, maybe with "hambuders"?
I've been leaving out some food for the magpies that visit, and today, when I went to check the bowl, found *somebody* had added some berries. Are they for me? (Not gonna try, but, thanks, Mags.)

Two days in a row. That don't happen much. (Admittedly small total words.)
Still hoping @harrisfarmmarkets would open in/near Parramatta.

He's a good kid, trying to help his family.
If you've got the room in your budget, help what you can. The war hasn't stopped.
Holiday's last day @kimsbeachsideretreat.
Couldn't have been more relaxing, welcoming, and much-needed, even when the weather didn't fully cooperate.
#kimsbeachsideretreat has super accommodations and great food, and everyone is friendly and helpful. (Even supplied an umbrella for the torrents of rain we experienced today. So thoughtful and thorough.)
Well-recharged for my return to a toxic work project next week, and the fights to come.
@omarzeyada18@mas.to He's not great at sharing, but there were two after I took this photo, so maybe a girlfriend. I haven't learned to distinguish who's who yet, but get visits from sunup to sundown.
They have a lovely fluting song. Next time, I'll try to get a video with sound up.

I used allopurinol daily for 30 years. I only stopped because my doctor put me on medication for some other issues, which then gave me problems, so dropped all meds, added them back one at a time to see which was the source. It wasn't the allopurinol.
Colchicine was useful during an attack, but the doctors were withholding of it for no explained reason.
Oddly, haven't had an episode in about two years, with no lifestyle changes, other than less beer (very triggering).

Ah, there she is. Wish I could fund a scholarship. I admire her ambition.
