Why? Because Hozier holding a snake is hot 🥵.

An absolutely incredible day in #auspol memes.

And it‘s only just getting started! No wonder he was so adamant about not needing a federal ICAC…

Votes are still being counted, and a couple of seats are too close to call but the seat of HIGGINS has flipped to Labor for the first time since it‘s creation in 1949 - for context, this was a blue ribbon, liberal heartland seat that produced 2 prime ministers - and I couldn‘t be more excited (well, maybe about Kooyong flipping & kicking Josh Frydenberg out). There is a real sense of hope!

Pretty excited that I didn‘t have to wait in line, it‘s a bit confronting having to walk past all the volunteers trying to give you how to vote cards… I only laughed (gently) at one and told another that I had what I needed 😅

Considering charcuterie board options because I think, for the first time ever, that I‘m going to watch the results come in.

Feeling cautiously optimistic!

😷 🤔 it‘s giving Wicked Witch of the East, Bro / Are you gonna tell me I‘m wrong energy…

In other news, my Mum sent me a text earlier complaining that she was chilly - I‘m not sure why since my standard response is either 💃 summer is almost over 💃 or ISN‘T IT GREAT!!

If you‘re interested the Australian Book Industry Awards are streaming at 4pm AEST. #abia2020

My friend at work brought back this fancy bookmark from Sydney for me. Isn‘t it pretty?

Repost for @ReadingDownUnder. She wants to find the Australian Littens and I don't want to start tagging people because I'll just forget someone. So Australian Littens, identify yourselves and say hello🙂🇦🇺

How many Australian Littens are there??? I‘ve been trolling #aussieaussieaussie #aussiereaders #perthlife, etc. Didn‘t see #aussielittens anywhere. Who‘s out there? From Denmark, Western AU (SW) #catsoflitsy

🇦🇺#aussiesrule2018 @Sue you have a lot to answer for! My latest library haul - love this challenge already! 🇦🇺

Yay! I just received my Litsy letter from my awesome International Penpal @LazyOwl ! Super cute button and kitty flags 😻 Plus, it has nifty Australian stamps if you can see around a certain kitty‘s tail. (Kitcat has no respect for my photo attempts).

Okay the Bill Bryson was fun, but now I want some really good Australian reads for my trip! I know I won't have as much time to read as I think, but what Litten worth their salt doesn't overestimate their vacation reading needs? So tell me your favorite #AussieAuthors or books. Share in the comments or post and tag me please😊

Need to read it
