I’ve been wanting to share this for a while now, but it is finally confirmed and official.
I am working with Libraries Tasmania to run a short story competition for kids aged 17 and under. Similar to the contest I did with the schools, I approached the library to see if they would like to do something similar and they said yes. It’s only being promoted on the west/north-west of Tasmania but it’s open to anyone in Tasmania. I hope to expand it statewide next year, especially if it gets a lot of interest.
I’m so excited to see this idea come to fruition. Creative writing is so awesome and I can’t wait to see what stories the kids will come up with.
Unfortunately, doesn’t really apply to the forum since this is a melbourne sub, but I had to share.
Thays really cool dude! Great to see some community engagement stuff like this.
Super cool! Congratulations!
That’s ok. No matter where you are and where you decide to host your events keep posting here!
This is so cool. It’s great to be so involved in the community.
Woke in the night and had the best sleepy cuddles.
I regret not getting a cat much sooner, but the cat distribution system has blessed me with the most special one.

The senior cats are the most loving and chill. (If you have vet money.)
If my situation was different I’d probably be fostering multiple cats. Even potentially fostering older cats for the rest of their lives to free up shelter space

He looks like a good boy
Fostering sounds good. :)
I’m up in the air about it, I’d want my health to be stable first and not live somewhere rough.
Also Melbcat isn’t fond of other cats.
I know very little about the protests. I assume a small number of aggro cooker types kicked off against the cops creating a cascade of bullshit that the majority attending didn’t want.
I gave my dog a steak for lunch cos it’s his birthday. I mostly eat plant based these days, I can’t remember the last time I cooked a steak. Kinda stinky.
Happy barkday Dumbledog 🍖
I pretended to eat it first, then put the plate with the cut up steak on the ground for him.
Happy bday to derpledawg!

Time for sunset beach. SIL bought a bike 2 yrs ago and just left it down here with a unicorn on the bell but it hasn’t been used she can’t ride it so… It’s mine now.
Happy riding. We’re in the weather for it and that looks like a very comfortable bike

Had a crack at some slow cooked beef stroganoff again last night and I think I’ve finally perfected it! ~150 for 1.5-2 hours seems to be the sweet spot for the aldi gravy beef in the oven.

Every time I hear them start earlier this time of year I can’t help but think of:
Band sent me the sheet music for their songs today. I have till Monday night to learn 4 songs for a possible Thursday gig.
Should be fun!
Yaaaas! You got this you musical genius! Gonna be sick seeing this live :D
Thank you! The place is in Brunswick I’m pretty sure.
Excellent! Easy to get to.
Fuck yeaaaaah
Cool. 😸
Neighbours’ dog jumped the fence again wanted pats, he is a good boi so he always gets them. Then he starts eating charcoal from the fire patch (basically a patch where I set garden things on fire). Dogs shouldn’t eat charcoal. So there I am chasing a dog asking it to drop… He was so possessive I gave up. God speed Winston never change.

Winston isn’t the brightest. Heart of gold though.
Maybe Winston has been into the liquor cabinet. Tryna sober up before the parents get home. Not so stupid now hey?
Winston is a perpetual teenager. I wouldn’t put it past him.
Good swim… Dog beach was absolutely smashed from that weather a few days ago.
Have never seen that before. Those dunes totally did eventually collapse.

There’s even a movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Zero_(1987_film) I knew the writer.
Is that a Tardis?
