Big love for our cities!

The 2025 Global Liveability Index is out — and Melbourne (#4), Sydney (#6), and Adelaide (#9) all cracked the global top ten.

Melbourne edged ahead thanks to its cultural and environmental credentials, but all three cities scored equally for healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

The Index ranks cities across categories like safety, transport, and quality of life. It’s official: we’re living in some of the world’s best spots!

Yes, some goods news!
Best news, IMO, is the Alzheimers study.
It is so distressing to watch a family I am very close to slowly watch their husband and father disappear. Too late for him but hopeful for the future.
Also good news about the HIV vaccine though I imagine anti vaxers will come up with some new conspiracy about that now .

There are so many benefits to rosemary and sage and many, many other herbs. But do the research or talk to a reliable source to learn about any possible drawbacks. This is especially true if taking prescribed medications.

I love that 'Rosemary for remembrance' may have so much importance in a medical setting.

All good news here. Like many of my friends l find stories about one country bombing & killing innocent people only to receive a retaliation very depressing.
