7 Winter Olympics as figure skating commentator, 3 as a coach, former local newspaper publisher (yes, I was a journo), always a Mum, love the beach. Central Coast NSW Australia.

The Young brothers who formed ACDC literally lived around the corner when I was a teenager. Again, the CZE team nailed the raw, thumping adrenalin that is Acca Dacca.01 Nov 2025 20:15 +0000at://did:plc:t5f43dp5sqmr5bpi57loe32f/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4lsm6fvo22rhttps://bsky.app/profile/belindanoonan.bsky.social/post/3lydzjuwdws2wThe Future of Figure Skating podcast with @realrobinc.bsky.social https://youtu.be/jHgI5n_wdDw?si=6zyBd6b0inOLMb6L08 Sep 2025 20:17 +0000at://did:plc:t5f43dp5sqmr5bpi57loe32f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lydzjuwdws2whttps://bsky.app/profile/belindanoonan.bsky.social/post/3lv6zhynmes2oThrilling to see where the Olympics began in Greece, walk the track and soak in the history.

Now the conservative Coalition parties “Liberals” (not liberal) and “Nationals” (not national) have put their split of two days ago on hold. Immature is the kindest word I have. Idiots is more on point.22 May 2025 04:58 +0000at://did:plc:t5f43dp5sqmr5bpi57loe32f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpqdedy6sk2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/belindanoonan.bsky.social/post/3lpnyta57l22aMy take on the AUS Liberal/National Coalition split. Both are centre right and some MPs further right wing. Nats prioritise rural, Libs don’t (unless it’s fossil fuel/water/minerals to be sold. Women, climate, the vulnerable don’t seem to matter much to either party.21 May 2025 06:44 +0000at://did:plc:t5f43dp5sqmr5bpi57loe32f/app.bsky.feed.post/3lpnyta57l22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/belindanoonan.bsky.social/post/3lp4lffneck2sI’ve slowed down hugely on clicking on any Trump stories.
