At today, AUD 99 translates to:
USD 66.94
EUR 63.40
GBP 54.64
CHF 62.52
For the past week-and-a-bit on the way to the supermarket (which I visit way too frequently for my liking) I pass these poor trees who, despite the green, are not exactly thriving. And becoming less thrivey as time goes on.
They’re not enormous trees, nor are they teensy ones – I guess maybe about my height. Add to the fact that it is summer and they will soon be brown and crunchy, I think $99 really is somewhat excessive (unkind people might call it taking the piss). Though admittedly I have absolutely no expertise in this area.

Because you may not read the comments, you may have missed the excellent Dame Eleanor’s brilliant completion of my haiku from the last conifer post:
Arrive home with a
pretty fried brain. Sleep beckons.
[last line is missing]
Glorious.
If you want to sound terribly learned, substitute “cetera desunt” for the last line!
This is wonderful – you excel yourself!
I think [last line is missing] is much more on brand for me, terribly learned being fairly unconvincing!
