A letter from my six-year old Will to his soccer friend Thomas.

“Thomas can you believe it? Australia is in the semi finals for the first time! Love Will McMahon”

So, so glad that supporting women in sport will be completely normal for Gen Alpha. It matters.

He signed off our son Joe’s baptism with his mantra: “Dont curse the darkness, light a candle.”

What a wave of light he brought to the world.

Thank you, thank you Bob.

Rest in peace you extraordinary man.

Father Bob meant so much to so many, including me 🧵 [thread emoji]

In 2004, I was starry-eyed in love with my now husband. Sundays, we started going to church together at St Peter Paul’s.
“You’ll love it,” he told me. “This priest is like a comedian.”

I’ll always remember how he called Tim and I up before our wedding in front of a packed Easter Sunday congregation, got them to give us a round of applause, and then tasked us with handing out a big basket of Easter Eggs.

“Jesus ain’t coming today. It’s BYO, DIY,” he quipped.

@Alfred10003764 @blueypodcast @fairypiez @marybolling Easy to do! My own family get it confused sometimes. Huge thanks to @CosmicGl0w for my sweet avatar. It’s still one of the greatest privileges of my life!

Some places in the world get snow at Christmas.

In Adelaide, we get shimmering skies of dragonflies.

[video description: dozens of tiny black objects dart across blue skies and the Main Street - they are dragonflies! It’s a bit like the room of flying keys in Harry Potter 1]

@davidstockman That’s beyond unacceptable- I’m so sad to hear this Dave. A sorry mess indeed.
