View fullsize I have recently taken up gardening.⁠

I use the term "gardening" loosely, as I don't have a garden as such - just a 6 square metre balcony on which I've installed some artificial turf.⁠

My gardening efforts consist of buying some viola s

Bushfires, COVID-19, racism. Dare I ask... what's next?⁠

And yet I find the timing of Easter to be particularly "on point" (as they say).⁣
