    Grace is probably the member of the pretty pastel posse that my style most closely aligns with.
    Also the side the buttons are on depend on if the shirt is a "men's" or "women's" shirt (quotes because clothing doesn't have a gender wear whatever makes you happy). The sides used to make a difference because men used to dress themselves and so they were positioned so right handed people (the majority) would have an easier time putting their shirt on. And shirts deigned for women had buttons on the opposite side because they usually had someone help them dress and therefore do the buttons up for them, so the buttons were stitched on in a way to make it easier for the person helping to do up.

      Oh, so interesting. It drives me crazy if the zipper is on the "wrong " side.

    I was in Tasmania a few weeks ago and initially when you posted this I thought I wish I’d seen this video first because I was feeling pretty aimless while I was there. But when I watched it through, I saw we actually went to a few of the same places! I think the difference is I was by myself. I enjoy my alone time, but I underestimated how much fun I have spending time with friends. It’s always so wholesome to see you with your friends. 😍

    I’d like to hear more about your decision to take this trip like what inspired it and what your goals were. I just like seeing you out and about. In contrast to you being stalked at the Walmart or whomever. It makes me feel inspired I think. I want a friend like Grace!

    if the buttons are on the wrong side, it's a men's shirt; if there are darts, it's a women's shirt. The coat is too big for you imho. I'm glad you brought your electric toothbrush because when I went to Vegas I just brought a regular one and my old housemate (not that she's old) brought her electric one and I was SO jealous it almost ruined my vacation.

    Another recommendation! The Possum Shed Cafe past New Norfolk close to Mount Field National Park. I went there for my birthday, it's beautiful! Right next to a river, you can sit outside and watch the ducks! 🦆😍 The food there is amazing as well. It's probably about an hour or so drive from Hobart, worth it tho, it's beautiful out that way

    If you ever vacay to Seattle there's three great photo places you'll love. There's this gorgeous japanese pond area close to the Kent library. And there's a family of goose that's lived there for a super long time. Every year the previous babies come back and raise their babies. Another place is the woodland zoo. There's a peacock that's allowed to roam this one area near the penguins. He's very shy and always hides in the bushes,but eventually warms up to people when patient and will allow photos to be taken. Another place is also in the woodland part zoo which is the butterfly house. One big rule when I'm there you gotta watch your step, butterflies are everywhere. I haven't been there since covid but they have a release ceremony where they release freshly transformed catapillars from their cacoon box and swarms of gorgeous butterflies come out. You also have to be checked when exiting the butterfly house because they may want to try and escape and hide on the hem of your clothes.

    The sheep bit is funny to me because I once had to herd sheep back into their yard. I had been hanging out with a friend til late and on the way home, mid conversation I just yelled "sheep!" And my friend slowed down, confused til I repeated myself and pointed at the dozen or fewer sheep on the side of the road. We saw a nearby fence with a fallen section and with another drivers help, herded them back inside and propped the fence back up as best we could.

    Aww seeing you two having fun and finding lots of birds was so nice. I've never seen black swans before, we have white ones here. It's fascinating! Also as soon as you put on the fishing water pants thing I knew "this ain't gonna work out" and then you screeched at the water in your leg and I just "knew it". These things are so hit and miss if there's just a tiny hole you gonna get wet. But I hope you had fun in the river anyway 😅

Also if your air bnb'ing i didnt mind the "arrow brick house" down that way. though you have to be semi confident driving. make sure your car is decent. my 2004 mazda 3 made it though. Anyway just got back from tassie in september. well worth it! haha just dont drive through poatina haha

Glad that hazmat (fishing suit?) did not leak. However I think you've got some Halloween decor in that outfit. Just add one paper pumpkin as a head then pop on a witch hat and its scaring time.

    I know so many people say “I call pigeons rats with wings” as if it’s totally original and funny. Maybe a play on that that is more positive like “Pals with Wings” or “Mates with Wings”. I have a lot of sympathy for urban feral pigeons, they were brought to urban areas from their natural habitats by humans and realised when no longer needed and then people hate them when they are literally just trying to survive a circumstance put on to them by humans
    PS You we’re totally right about not going into that river when you couldn’t see the bottom- do not go into unfamiliar water especially if it’s murky. The bottom could be deeper than it appears or extremely soft and mucky and cause you to get stuck or sink
