@TAB a psychologist once told me that we are kinder to people we hardly know than we are to those we love. It's so true.
Hope your day goes well, stay cool 😎

@ENKELI But why are we kinder to people we don’t know, than those that we love?
Do I have to Google it? I’ll lose 2 hours down a psychological internet rabbit hole 🕳️

@Glisten insane! It looks overcast and gloomy in the Swan but not wet stuff. At least it's cool though.

@tonys Huckleberry, I hope you’re doing well as the weekend approaches.
You sent me some rain this morning. Thank you very much. The humidity this week has been most uncomfortable.
I’m passing rough timber through the thicknesser to dress it and beads of sweat are hitting the wood like polka dots - Eew
Huck, I’ve found a kindred spirit. A new member of the Women’s Shed, Basia, preferred name Bas.
We have very similar skills and want to pursue wood turning, joinery and welding. The old boys are stoked!
Big hugs for you and the Bookkeeper. Don’t forget you still have photos for me.

Happy Women's Day @Glisten I used to do voluntary work for the International Womens Development Agency over 30 years ago. Its so far back no-one would remember me. Well enjoy your day on the steps of Parliament House. Its really hard for older women with finances. The over 50's demographic situation doesn't look the best nowadays. Its a given - they raise families, don't get an income, don't retrain, divorce and wind up homeless with no savings. I'm glad I never married and had children. Sometimes being disabled offers a safety net with a guaranteed disability pension. I would have loved to house an over 50's lady who had no options but my situation kind of does not allow for it. But I am very aware of the situation facing mature women today in this world.
