Driving into the outer suburbs, looking for "For Sale" signs...

"It's got a lovely garden
A garage for two cars to park in
Or a lot of room for storage if you've just got one
"And it's going pretty cheap," you say
Well, it's a deceased estate
Aren't the pressed metal ceilings great?"

It's a beautiful autumn day in #Naarm #Melbourne, and here is a gorgeous chunk of acacia gum from my travels.

Acacia gum is water soluble, edible¹, and is my go-to adhesive for a lot of projects. It's been used throughout Australia for thousands of years.

¹ Be careful chewing acacia gum. The adhesive properties can be *very* strong, resulting in your family laughing at you for minutes because your jaw is glued shut again. Don't panic, it dissolves eventually.

On a walk with the dogs last night I'm pretty sure I saw a powerful owl. It was sitting on the ground in a park and then took off up to a tree as we approached. Pretty sure it wasn't a tawny, it was too chonky, its head was much more owl-shaped, and body and wings were light flecked with darker spots. Couldn't get a photo bcs my phone is a potato. Is that likely in inner north #naarm? #birds #Australia #AskFedi
