Carbonated water is slightly more acidic than still, so just be aware of your teeth and guts if you’re drinking heaps of it. Some people take issue with supporting an Israeli owned company, others don’t. There’s always other brands if that suits you, I know aldi does one called soda king that’s interchangeable with Sodastream.

With bonus suffering!

Ah yes, the famous Soviet era of the United States. How could I forget?

It was a US made Bell 212

Or if you’re up in the top end, there’s Nawarla Gabarnmung which dates to about 44kya. Some natural rock pillars in the shelter, others modified and others still constructed or relocated.

With community (specifically fruit & veg) gardens you need to be considerate of what pollutants could be in the soil, especially if the area is prone to flooding. Regrowing native bushland has no such concerns and has the added benefit of providing much needed habitat for native species AND the flood resilience that lawns actually counteract.

That pardon lead to a trial in the criminal court of appeals which have now acquitted her of the charges.

She was pardoned in June and has subsequently has been acquitted in the criminal court of appeals.

Fingers crossed for parts on hand

Why on earth wouldn’t the boss send you direct to Adelaide? Just about would have been quicker to drive.

Happy jamming!

Have you had a listen to Drive-By Truckers? Southern rock without the yee haw rebel pride.

Books!

Also books!

I hope impressionism is your bag.

All sorts of stuff. Books, trinkets, records, art. I like to hit up small regional galleries and local artists exhibits for original art, but I also have a lot of prints and posters as well.

Art gallery gift shops are a fantastic place for high quality prints and posters that don’t break the bank, and then you can spend as much or as little as you like on getting them mounted and on display.
