@Option1 Awwww. I've been too busy to wander around the great court looking for the nest. Will have to make time on Monday.

@_astronoMay I work in a library, so alphabetical was the obvious choice.

@kvgoldsmith@aus.social A/C went on around 10ish. I have the fan going too. 29.8ºC outside.

Too hot to continue working outside now. Will have to wait until later in the day.

POLL for Australians! Would you follow an official Bureau of Meteorology server if it announced forecasts, warnings, etc., like it does on Twitter? Boosts Ok.

Hmm, I wonder why the belt broke? :thinking:

A reminder for fellow #Australians that FrogID Week started today!

Find frogs, record them with the FrogID app and submit them as part of this wonderful #CitizenScience project.

@Defolos It's the whole deal. I love a good neopolitan style pizza (only possible in an oven that reaches 400ºC), and the fresh, but limited toppings really work well with that style. The dough makes a difference, but you can still get excellent results from a "quick" dough.

I do also enjoy the typical "australian" home cooked pizza (done at lower temp, thicker base, many many more toppings).

@nikodemus Hmmm... clearly mail carriers the world over are communicating their strategies.

Right now outside - Cockatoos at Dusk

@nikodemus Frankly I'd just like a return to actually delivering in a timely manner. We used to have two days anywhere in the state or between capital cities, now, it might be up to a week.

@nikodemus It's very weird.

Esp. with the rise of parcel post. Sure, letters have gone by the wayside, but parcel deliveries are way up.

@Funkpirata I'd guess so. Definitely won't have the tonal qualities of my Maton acoustic.

We very rarely get junk mail and so I took a quick peek at this one that turned up today.

AustPost, you may have heard if them, they’re the ones that sometimes deliver mail and parcels, are selling guitars.

Bit of a logical leap there, but there you have it.

@geton actually "talk" to someone... bugger that for a joke!

@welshpixie Yeah I figured you'd got an answer by then, and mine was along the same lines, but with less certainty ;-)

@welshpixie dammit, I had just finished typing a long response to that question before the original toot was deleted. :P

@dafunk The secret of the peel is semolina. A reasonable sprinkling, and don't take too long dressing the pizza while it is on the peel as it'll stick. Once it's in the oven, give it 20 secs or so before turning it so the base has time to set a bit before you try to get the peel under it.
