The 39-year-old and husband Neil Varcoe welcomed baby son Thomas during her absence. They are also parents to daughter Molly, born in late 2019.
Edwina, who was previously a roving weather presenter before being promoted to the news desk, said it was ‘lovely’ to be back in the studio.

Meanwhile, weatherman Sam Mac crossed live from the Gold Coast.
‘It’s been such a lovely five months,’ Edwina said.
‘We’ve had such a lovely time as a family unit, so it was a bit sad to leave them at home, but also lovely to come back to work.’

Edwina and Neil announced the birth of their son in early March.
‘Some little news from our family. Thomas Donald Elliott Varcoe born on the 1st of March, 2022,’ she wrote on Instagram alongside a gallery of photos of the newborn.

Global home-cooking sensation Nigella is replacing disgraced Pete Evans, who was axed from the Seven network in 2020 amidst the show’s falling ratings in its then eleventh year of production.
Nigella has previously spoken about her excitement about starring on the series.
‘When you think about the food you love, it’s nearly always home cooking,’ she said.
The cooking show was previously hosted by Pete Evans, (left), Feildel (right) and Colin Fassnidge (centre)
‘I’m a home cook and it’s the food that I want to eat. I’ve eaten 17,000 kilometers to find Australia’s best home cooks.’
The best-selling author will travel around the country with Manu as they criticize a new batch of passionate home cooks.
‘As MKR judges we make the perfect team, with our years of experience in professional and home kitchens respectively,’ Manu said.
‘And as lovers of delicious food and a fabulous dinner party, I can promise you we’re also going to have a lot of fun!’

Charlene Mitchell, Henry Ramsay and Madge and Harold Bishop – characters from the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours.
OPINION: I’m about to confess something that most of my closest friends don’t know: I am a Neighbors superfan.
Since 1987, I have spent roughly 84 days of my life enlarged in the lives of Ramsay St residents. Forget politics, Erinsborough is my Mastermind specialist subject.
I know which of the Spice Girls made a cameo (Baby), the name of the real life cul-de-sac where exterior filming takes place (Pin Oak Court) and who went on a cruise and never returned (Marlene).
Everyone remembers Bouncer’s dream, but do you know the name of Lucy Robinson’s dog, which he replaced? (Basil, he drowned – one of Guy Pearce’s finest performances of him).

I vividly recall the first character to die: spiky-haired stripper Daphne whispered “I love you Clarkey” to husband Des in the wreckage of a car smash. When he returned to marry plain-Jane-superbrain it was like being reunited with an old friend.

The opening piano chords of Angry Anderson’s Suddenly takes me instantly to the sun-dappled nave of the Holy Trinity Church where Scott Robinson and frizzy-haired mechanic Charlene Mitchell exchanged their vows. (Harold and Madge, and Drew and Libby also married there, another useless thing I know.)
It was the soap wedding to end all soap weddings – and I was among the 20 million Brits who watched it.
Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan were the Romeo and Juliet of my childhood. Her debut album by Ella was the first cassette I owned, played so often the tape wore out. God love my poor mother who patiently ironed canvas patches of the pair onto the knees of my jeans.
I saved up for Kylie and Jason button badges, a scarf, and a t-shirt with their faces in a heart. The bomber jacket remained forever out of reach of my pocket money.

The soap spans my entire life. Every day, I ran from the school bus to see what Henry, Mike and Clive were up to. Its sunshine, suburban minutiae and carefree people were a world away from the bleakness of the Troubles and Thatcherism. They had swimming pools… in the garden.
At university, my lunchtime routine was the soap and a sandwich.
When legendary Harold Bishop fell in the sea, it was like losing a grandparent. Long before death punctuated my life, Neighbors taught me about grief and friendships.
Happily, Harold turned up five years later, working in a Salvation Army shop, suffering from amnesia. That’s the beauty of soaps – favorite characters can return to ease our loss. Madge stayed on for multiple episodes, existing only in Harold’s mind after a campervan prang.

From beyond the grave, Drew was able to warn Steph Scully that her cancer had returned. He rose again from his eternal slumber in the Hallowe’en zombie attack. Neighbors could be deliciously ridiculous – Paul Robinson once went back in time, met a dinosaur and altered 30 years of storylines.
It was also a pop-culture juggernaut that pushed the boundaries on feminism, pre-teen sex, same-sex marriage, disabilities and gender identity. (It also has had its fair share of criticism for reinforcing stereotypes of heteronormative suburbia, and for racism).
As adulthood got in the way, streaming services kept me up to date. Earlier this month, on a work trip, I sobbed into a hotel room duvet as Hendrix Grayson breathed his last.

Don’t give me spoilers! The last episode of Neighbors aired this week and will screen in New Zealand in September.
There are fewer of us fans now. At its height, Neighbors was shown twice a day, reaching millions of Britons who grew up on a gloomy diet of Eastenders and Coronation Street.
The Queen Mum was said to never miss an episode – and dastardly hotel boss Paul Robinson was Princess Diana’s favorite character.
The soap was so pervasive that it changed the speech patterns of an entire generation – our voices began to rise towards the end of a sentence.
Economics experts credited it with introducing Brits to the outdoor lifestyle – as they embraced sun culture, pavement cafés and barbecues outside of the annual fortnight holiday on the Costa Brava. Even that revered seat of learning, Oxford University added the series to its curriculum for a period in the 1990s.
I’ve long hidden my fandom. There is a stigma around soap operas that assumes the audience is shallow and vapid. But it’s just entertainment, and there’s no shame in indulging in having a quick break from the stress and serious business of everyday life.
So, with the show coming to an end, it’s time to celebrate the many hours of entertainment and escapism its given me – and the huge imprint it made on my life.
So farewell Neighbours. You really have become good friends.
The sickie is a skill most of us learned when we were primary kids. Telegraph it the day before, cough a few times before bed. If you’re into Jeremy Strong levels of method acting you could attempt shivering, and you would definitely get some Panadol.
Now the trick of the perfect sickie is to remember your plan from the night before as soon as you wake up. Cough as your eyes open, otherwise before you know it you’re downstairs scoffing cereal when you remember, at which point you’re already in your school uniform and there’s no point going back into character. The audience will see right through it.
A shame to waste a sick day on the sick… Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
So you get to school. Just after recess, you decide 90 minutes of maths isn’t going to cut the mustard and you go to the school office and put in an Oscar-worthy performance of the night before’s illness with some contextual flourishes – at your cousin’s birthday, Aunt Beryl was coughing, or maybe you forgot to pack a jumper for the movies. We all know that it is a sure fire way to catch a cold.
Back in the day, the school nurse could see through the real and the fake, and would even delay calling your parents until just before lunch, at which point the opportunity to play with friends again could make you feel better all of a sudden. When they did believe you, you would be collected and depending on how generous your parents were feeling it was TV all afternoon or my mother’s line that still haunts me (and fills me with guilt even when I am actually sick): “If you’ you’re well enough to watch TV, you’re well enough to go to school.”
Now however, the sickie doesn’t even require any skill, let alone strategy. You just say you have a sore throat and you’re either not going to school, or you’re being collected as soon as possible. I’m a single mother and a teacher, so half the week I’m ‘it’ for the COVID call. Everyone is rightly scared of a COVID outbreak, whether it’s at my work-school or my kid-school, we all do the right thing.
So this week, I did another (actually sick) kid collection half way through the day, and for the price of having a nasal swab, they got a day at home watching tv, and I was off work, again, figuring out what on earth it looks like if they’ve got COVID again. They were negative, and they were back at school a day and a half later.

I don’t know how long we can go through life with a zero tolerance policy for any symptoms, and families won’t be able to afford to test their snotty-from-May-till-September kids on a daily basis. This year our cold and flu season has been really bad for younger children because kids haven’t developed immunity in the past two years with lockdowns and social distancing.
Student absences are higher than they ever have been because of COVID, isolation, covid like symptoms as well as the rest of the reasons kids have days off school – dentist appointments, tummy bugs, travel. Absences have an impact on learning as well as socialisation. Professor Pasi Sahlberg wrote about how, in the scheme of things, COVID lockdowns weren’t that long, but what if every term each student gets COVID or similar symptoms and misses out on a week of school? That’s 10 per cent less school than previous generations. Surely that has to add up. (Caveat: I am not a math teacher.)
The controversies and criticisms surrounding Kate Moss have often been unfair and highly contradictory (Take off your bra! Put on some weight! After decades of being talked down to, Kate Moss speaks out, 25 July). However, Zoe Williams’ assertion that Moss’s famously slender figure was “just the way she looks” is both inaccurate and unhelpful. Moss’s exact statement in the Desert Island Discs interview was “I was thin because I didn’t get fed at shoots or in shows and I’d always been thin”, which highlights the problems in the modeling industry and, therefore, the role of environmental factors.
This may not seem like an important distinction to make. But to people with eating disorders, or the millions of young girls who see these models and wonder why they can’t seem to achieve that ideal stick-figure, it is essential to show that this is not normal or healthy. At the height of her modeling career, Kate Moss had a BMI of around 15 to 16. This is well beneath the BMI of 17.5, which is considered anorexic. Even if Moss herself did not suffer from the disease, it is clearly not a healthy or natural weight to be – a BMI under 16 even indicates starvation by the World Health Organization’s standard. Countries such as France, Spain, Italy and Israel have laws banning ultra-thin models, in the latter case any below the minimum healthy BMI of 18.5. This is not to discriminate. It is simply meant to combat unhelpful beauty standards, the spread of eating disorders – and the physical and mental strain on the models themselves. Natasha Loke Wymondham, Norfolk
This past week was the big one. It always happens at some point on a health journey, but I just didn’t think it would happen quite so soon.
I’m on week three of a reset to regain my personal health, both mental and physical, after letting it slide for too long. I knew it would be hard to get on back up, but it’s time to put myself first. So I did. And it’s been going well – gently, but still well.
This week things took a bit of a turn, and putting myself first actually meant my new regimen had to wait and I fell off the proverbial wagon. But, as always, there’s two sides to this. Because stalling on this journey doesn’t necessarily mean failing.

As one of my good friends loves to remind me, the body keeps score – and mine is really showing its hand these days. My immunity is being put through the wringer and despite having the various shots and doing all the right things, I still seem to catch everything that’s going around. I’ve had a cough and flu symptoms along with headaches and general aches and pains since March.
It would be nice to have just one week where I don’t feel run-down and on the edge of another cold, yet again, but that’s part of the reason for this new health journey. And I know plenty of other people feel the same. I hear you.
So, I rest, I drink lots of water and hot healing drinks. As noted, my diet has improved and I am doing regular amounts of manageable exercise both for my mind and body. You’d think at this point my health would start to pick up, start to improve and join the Reset party.
Yet it seems I might have been asking my body to just hold on and keep going for a bit too long before I decided to take my health in a more focused direction. Because last week I crashed and burned in a spectacular fashion, right at the moment when I thought I’d be on track to start seeing improvements.
It’s that age-old conundrum, you know how it goes – things just seem to fight against you when you make a change for the better. My brother often jokes that you don’t twist your ankle until you take up running, you don’t sprain your shoulder until you start playing tennis, that sort of thing.
So my week went down in flames. A migraine, which I never suffer from, took me out for a whole day midweek, and the rest of the week was a blur of COVID tests and cold and flu medication, along with bedtimes so early the kids started calling me “bubba”: “Night bubba, sleep well.”
READMORE:Why tins of SPAM are being locked up in some stores
What it meant was that while I was listening to what my body needed in terms of rest, food and quiet, I simply had to abandon my hard-won personal permission to exercise and get out into nature. All exercise ceased and food was simply what I felt like – possibly not as nourishing as it could be, because I couldn’t really think about it.
But crashing and burning when your body is telling you to rest is sometimes the crash and burn we need. Sure, I fell right off the wagon, but it was what my body was telling me I needed to do and that was important. You’re sick, you’re burned out, you need to rest. So it’s oksy to put a stop on things this week – and I clearly needed to – or a week will turn into a month and then into many months. So I stopped. Even with the health regimen.

But I also promised myself that this was not an excuse to give up on my new focus on self-care in an exercise and mental health capacity. In fact, this fall was a mindful moment that would pave the way for me to get on back up, yet again, this week (gently).
It might not have been what I planned for my health journey, but it is still part of the bigger reset. In fact, while on the face of it it may look like a disaster, it’s actually exactly what the reset is about, listening to what I need, instead of pretending that I can keep going.
Unfortunately, it still seems I’m learning the hard way that if I don’t stop when I need to, It will become a case of I’ll stop when my body have you unto
How many of us are guilty of this, ploughing on why we think the world will stop turning if we don’t? Let’s just hope that next time, I can learn to stop before I crash in a heap. And yes, it’s just another lesson for my personal Reset. Is it part of yours?

Published: | Updated:
He may be one of Hollywood’s hottest actors.
But Chris Hemsworth took some time out of his busy schedule to enjoy a shopping trip in Byron Bay on Monday.
The 38-year-old Thor star covered his bulging biceps in a loose-fitting brown T-shirt as he visited local clothing stores.

Last month, Chris said that he is working on more and more films in Australia.
‘My focus ever since I had any sway was to shoot here in Australia due to, on a personal level, being at home with my family, but also because of the awareness that I had about what was possible here when it comes to the talent ‘I told The Daily Telegraph.

His production company, Wild State Productions, brought Thor 3 and 4, Extraction 1 and 2, Spiderhead and Interceptor to film in Australia, the paper reported.
‘Life is sweet. It is great and I couldn’t be happier,’ Chris added. ‘If you had said or asked me 10 years ago where I would like to be, this is it.’

What do Taylor Swift, Jay-Z and the Kardashians have in common? Well, according to data collected by internet sleuths, they’re among the celebrities racking up the most CO2 emissions thanks to their prolific use of private jets.
The regular use of private jets by musicians, actors and other celebrities has attracted more attention in recent years, both due to increasing concern about climate change and the mismatch between the “relatable” persona projected by artists like Swift and how they actually live.
Celebrities have been flying in private jets forever, right? Why are we caring about this now? A few months ago one clever coder named Jack Sweeney discovered open-source data that tracks where private plans owned by celebrities were travelling, and how frequently. And as any genius might do, he’s started a Twitter account tracking the data.
Taylor Swift’s plane racked up 170 days of flights in the first 200 days of this year.Credit:AP/Twitter
This week, a sustainability marketing firm collated that data and ranked celebrities by the amount of time their plans spent in the air.
Nice. Who’s on top? Taylor Swift.
A-ha. Data showed her plane racked up 170 flights in the first 200 days of this year alone, releasing 8,294 tonnes of carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
Wait, is that a lot? Well, yes. The firm that collated the data said the emissions from Swift’s jet since the beginning of the year represent more than 1000 times the average person’s yearly emissions.
The rest of the list is interesting, too: American boxing legend Floyd Mayweather comes in second, Kim Kardashian is seventh, and Oprah Winfrey is ninth on the list no one really wants to be on.
