Took me about 3 minutes to grasp that I wasn’t going to get a keyboard, no matter how furiously I tapped the screen!

Cool concept, but the interface takes some getting used to!

That’s wild πŸ˜† and pretty darn petty on the ex’s part

In fact, taking inspo from your drummer, I’ve just ordered a longboard kick pedal 😊 heel-toe shenanigans here we come!

Sorry to hear this, I am not a fan of rugby (as a parent) for this very reason :-(

I hope I remember this next time I’m on dusty ground well-covered by Eucalyptus and their woody little gum nuts!

Oh absolutely, that song is really quite off

Here I am in a corporate meeting room in Dublin. They have music-themed art on the walls. Pretty sure we have Brian Eno watching over us today!

Ahaa, Nimble was not ringing any bells for me - before my time in this country. Sourdough was of course in my list but I missed it in the transcribing…

Not only that… a DE MARK. But that wasn’t in my original count. So I’m still stuck for now…

Sou | ancient coin | Britannica Other articles where sou is discussed: coin: France: The sou became in 1266 the silver gros tournois, 23 24 fine and weighing about four grams; its types continued the β€œcastle” of the denier tournoi...

… there could be a case for it!

Picked up 18 themers (not including 8a itself)… but wondering if you’d also count 21d 🌾 πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

Just dropped off some equipment at someone’s house, in Westgate St. Not realising their gate was locked, I yanked it a bit too hard and pulled the handle clean off. I apologised for my error and he said β€œI suppose we’ll have to call it Westgategategate”.

Ohh yes - double whammy in fact, since I originally hail from Brisbane! 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

Just got a few crumbs of this before breakfast. Will see if I can do a bit more later, otherwise might just bin it.

Unreal! The mix is surprisingly good… wonder if that’s a desk mix or just ambient from the video camera?

Saw a pair of Dippers zzzzup by as I walked over the main bridge in town this morning. Used to see them all the time but it had been a few years since my last sighting. Was wondering if that was down to my habits changing, or something about their habitat. Hopefully the former.

Songwriter bucket-list moment last night - learned that a word I coined in a song has made it into someone’s everyday vocabulary. The word: β€œNonversation”.

Let’s face it, I’m basically Shakespeare.
