tigtog

Happily married feminist gourmand gardener and webwrangler living in Sydney with husband, two teen sprogs and a cat, tigtog (aka Viv Smythe) has just enough wineracks and far too few bookshelves. Viv blogs eclectically at Hoyden About Town, writes about comedians at Australian comedy portal Gagging For It, is the editor and FAQ author at Finally, A Feminism 101 Blog and may be praised or abused via tigtog[AT]viv.id.au

Detail of a unicorn on the grill in Geoffrey Fule's cookbook, England, mid-14th century (London, British Library, MS Additional 142012, f. 137r).

The polls will be closing shortly. The expected result, as no doubt everybody knows by now, is a massive swing to the LNP with only an ignominious rump left for Labor.
