@annabelcrabb @ABCTV Great show last night.

@drdanielgarcia @KatieAllenMP Disappointing would be a very kind word in the circumstances.

[Rita Erlich @Rita_Erlich]

@KKeneally All good wishes to you. Such a difficult time. I wish you a long life.

[Rita Erlich @Rita_Erlich]

@matttburke Exactly.

@bookshopaddict @JennaPrice Who is this person? She is not speaking for me or anyone I know.

@omnivorebooks @Nigella_Lawson @KitchenBee @nicmillerstale @GrabYourSpoon @racheleats @meemalee @tomorybristol @CharlotteMende1 Yes, Yiddish. In my family. There was also the non-verbal use of a measurement - a sideways movement of the head. Also a slight shrug.

@GetTheFabulous And there’s a lot of compulsive planning in there! What a lot of nonsense that approach is.

@profesterman @bookshopaddict It occurs to me that if you get a risk management strategy right, it looks unnecessary. But get it wrong, and it’s a disaster.

@KitchenBee One of the questions for me is whether the decline is significant when we are eating more? Or how significant the decline is? There are certainly differences, in varieties, and from country to country according to preferred varieties. Worth exploring.

@yodaberg Shame on AFR. A quick sketch? Nonsense! It’s vile. And if the cartoonist didn’t realise how deeply offensive it is, then it looks like laziness and appalling ignorance on his part.

@jeniport @robarni164 Four at once? Or one by one?

Penny Wong: “we’re a society, not an economy.” That’s what we’re aiming for. Good for her - she’s now on ABC news television, brilliant. . @abcnews

@XantheClay I would appreciate that - your not doing it.

@wendyonline @ScottMorrisonMP @danivalent @ChangeAus Signed.

@danivalent @MikeRapajic I think we should be wary of modelling ourselves on US or UK perspectives. I’m struck by the number of restaurants in Melbourne who are working so hard to provide food, some employment, and who are building and maintaining relationships with locals/regulars.

[Rita Erlich @Rita_Erlich]

@Nigella_Lawson @KitchenBee @BGPrize How strange. Me too. I’ve always been a big reader, but not at the moment.

[Rita Erlich @Rita_Erlich]

@KitchenBee You’re absolutely right. I expect the government will next recommend knitting anxiety away.

Beware of Melbourne City Council parking. City stores are closed, most offices empty, nothing as it used to be EXCEPT for parking regulations. I copped a huge fine for having parked in a loading zone at 7pm.

[Rita Erlich @Rita_Erlich]

Anyone know why there are so many corellas around? Big flocks in Melbourne, eastern suburbs.

Women’s work? Celebrated at Government House in Victoria. Listen to Jeni Port telling me all about it. https://t.co/9MarH3UWTJ
