I got video footage too!

So i cut my fingers and toenails outside in the garden, as i can't be bothered getting all the bits in the bin. I just let them go into the grass, where i figure they will biodegrade or get picked up by the mower or whatever.
Toes i rest on the raised outdoor wall, then usually brush the bits into the grass. Judge me for being gross whatever.
Anyway, there were a lot of ants around today, and they started carrying away my toenail clippings before i brushed then off the wall. Literally dragged them away.
Do they eat the keratin? Attracted by the aroma of my foot cheese? Have a secret lair full of human body parts that one day will come alive?

Magpie sitting right outside my back door and singing away!

If you're at a loose end tomorrow, come and show support for the trans community, with rallies across Australia protesting the QLD government withdrawal of puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy to new public health patients under the age of 18.

Had a concert tonight, went really well. One of the pieces (Ross Edwards' Piano Concerto) was a bit of an adventure in time signatures.....

Just finished editing the video from my last orchestra concert. It included this new work from Australian composer Anne Cawrse.

Went for a ride this morning, and came back across Anzac Bridge.
The Rozelle interchange, now open, makes me want to weep. Nineteen lanes of traffic wide, it sprawls across a huge tract of what should be prime public land. So expensive, so much pollution, so much urban blight and for so little benefit.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed to traffic this morning to host a Pride march. So many happy people. It was a nice counterpoint to the hate-filled rhetoric of fascist RW politicians that was being discussed in my feed this morning.
