#DIYDay the tiles for the bathroom were finally delivered at lunchtime yesterday. They were supposed to be here first thing in the morning.

So the tiler only laid a bit of cement board over the boarded part of the bathroom, and then using a self levelling compound for the rest to bring it up about 9mm (6mm cement board).

He's in later today to tile the shower and the floor.

7 September 1911 | Norwegian Jew, Elias Gorvitz, was born in Kristiania (now Oslo). A plumber.

In Auschwitz from 1 December 1942. He was held in the Golleschau sub-camp, from where, as a sick prisoner, he was transferred to Auschwitz II-Birkenau, where he perished.

It's antisemitism at its worse /s.

The US is asleep: come with me on a journey about birds.

It's Bird of the Year time here in Aotearoa New Zealand and friends I had NO idea.

I knew about the event of course. John Oliver has his own mural here in Wellington.

Buckle in.

But I did not expect the Bird of the Year 2024 to cross over offline into daily life here in the form of propaganda wars.

Here is one example of a poster on the street.

Interactive: pick an Australian CEO and compare their salary with a childcare worker, nurse or teacher

In the time it takes to read this article, Australia’s highest-paid chief executives will earn hundreds of dollars. An average worker would make around one dollar.

While many executives took pay cuts at the peak of pandemic lockdowns, there’s been little restraint in the years since, even as cost-of-living pressures weigh on their employees.

Meanwhile, average weekly earnings increased by just 4.6% over the financial year.

Guardian Australia used published CEO pay to assess how much more the heads of Australia’s best-known companies earn than regular workers, from baristas to barbers.
