Camping at Downfall Creek 💙

I’m obsessed with wallabies. 💚

If you visit Townsville, go to The Ardo and swim in this pool with a view to Magnetic Island. You won’t regret it 💙

This little Australian Flower Pecker visited my yard today. Sat still for a photo and was so calm in my presence. Day made ☺️

I had a little visitor join me at work today. Entertained me with a funky dance 😂

In 2023, I visited Priaino on the Amalfi Coast. You will find “Bob Art” all over the town. The last picture is of Bob, at work in his studio 💙

Seeds being added to a glass jar for mixing.

Seeds ready for planting and a glass of wine ready for drinking.

My garden bed just before planting.

To keep myself from obsessively doom scrolling I decided to participate in chaos.
Chaos gardening that is 🤪💚
I also had a few glasses of Pinot Grigio while watering it in and I don’t regret a thing.

“Childhood On The Farm”

It feels trivial to post photos and try to enjoy art and fashion and all the fun things I like when a man is in a prison in El Salvador for no reason. Taken from his family by mistake and will not be returned. How is everyone coping with this shocking development?

There are a lot of spiders in Australia. We need them to help control the bugs. You get used to it.

This is not a surprise to anyone. This is his usual behaviour. There’s probably a chapter in his book about this tactic. Unfortunately he keeps using it BECAUSE IT IS WORKING FOR HIM. Sorry for shouting.

When I travelled to the USA in the early 90’s, it was a dream come true. Before social media & through younger eyes. I saw New York dressed for winter. I gambled in Las Vegas and partied in Beverly Hills. I even met Michael Jackson!
I’m glad I got to see the pre Trump USA. You were already great!

This little bug has a nasty looking face 😂
