It's been a minute, Twitterverse, but this Asian girl has been places. Just a few stops along the 4,000km+ from Darwin to the NSW South Coast.

Closing the chapter on my time in the NTG. It's been real, folks. Peace out ✌

@PaulDaleNT Should keep you out of trouble for a while! Found Bryce Courtenay's Jessica which was gifted to me by my friend who just passed, with a note from her inside - I'll be re-reading that for sure.

Book declutter time, but I'd be sad to see some of these go. It's been years since I've read some of these. Which one should I re-read?

[melody song @meowdee]

@pauldlawton I did love it. I have Nocturnes in my to-read pile but I'm wondering if Remains of the Day should...remain in my collection 🤔

@crazymalaysian Dude that is so scary. Glad she was ok x

Back from the pits of what's been the worst week of my life (so far, I think), losing a very dear friend in childbirth, in Australia, in 2021. Her newborn didn't make it either. It's wild to think maternal mortality is still a thing here.

[melody song @meowdee]

@crazymalaysian Thanks Iz. Her loss hits close to home because we have the privilege not needing to think we (or your partner) might not come out alive after having a baby.

Covid has made things extra hard in times like these, where you can't just hop on a plane and be with others who are just as devastated as you. Or if you do, you can end up stranded, like my friend's brother.

@Klick22 Your human of choice is 💯, as are your smaller humans. And you, obvs.

Listening to my labour relaxation playlist as I attempt to get some reports out the door and I gotta say it feels apt.

[melody song @meowdee]

@lizzytrevaskis Look, I thought about it, but I was rushing to get home to my own little darlings (whose umbilical stumps I have also kept in individual ziploc bags).

Funny how I drew the line at bringing the placenta home with me 🤷‍♀️

[melody song @meowdee]

Was listening to @lizzytrevaskis on the drive home asking if it was normal to keep your child's baby teeth. I know for a fact my parents still have my umbilical stump from 35 years ago in a plastic bag stapled into a genealogy book, so there's that.

@DoUBelieveInDog Oh for sure it will be challenging, though it was written in the 40s? 50s? I imagine for that time girls adventuring was pretty out there! I like to think we set a good modern example at home, with mum going to work and dad home looking after the baby and doing the housework✌

I've just started reading Enid Blyton's The Enchanted Forest to my almost 7yo and I gotta say I am excited to relive the magic again.

@paper_indy The only kind of croc you wouldn't run away from screaming on the beach. Although....😆

Love the earrings, the celestial theme is very in at the moment is it not.

[melody song @meowdee]

@paper_indy Sunshine on my shoulders (and up-to-date vaccination) makes me happy too! 😊

[melody song @meowdee]

@Klchan3 Sure is but we've been in Darwin for almost 5 years now 😆

My almost 11 month-old attended his first Oktoberfest party and smashed sauerkraut and pork knuckle and I'm not even mad.
