Hmm… I’m a Spartan princess and will kill my husband Agamemnon for sacrificing our daughter to the gods for a good wind

Hogfather?

Cannot unsee

Late posting this but my Christmas window is live (and alive)

A single premix can of alcohol sits unopened on a road

Randomly found on the road. I'm sure it's a trap!

A sign on the fence if a small garden that reads "Gandhi Chaplin Memorial Garden"

The crossover that none of us knew that we needed.

A photo of a pub menu of beers and ciders from the United Kingdom

I love the idea of a style category of cider being “dangerous”

A photo showing Christmas puddings and mince pies on a supermarket shelf, ready for sale

First sight of Christmas puddings and mince pies spotted in the wild!

Makes me homesick for Oz every time I hear that sound

The thunderbird puppet, Lady Penelope is wearing a large red hat and has a cigarette in a long black cigarette holder

Thunderbirds, from a simpler time when puppets smoked on television.

Did they survey Melbourne?

Instead of going straight in the pool room, it’s now hanging in my car. Pattern by the Moji-Moji Design

The poster is black NS white with a large picture of a Chanel No. 5 bottle. The text reads: Seeking volunteers to wear my ex’s favourite perfume while I practice being repulsed. It includes instructions of when and where to meet an concludes with “I will be dramatically gagging. The goal is conditioning”

Saw this poster on a late night ramble

A medical intuitive… ROFL

Wise words!

I sing that too, every time I read “purple train” (thanks brain). Luckily* it only stays in my brain for a few days each a time.

*Not lucky

A large truck has the following text written on its side: No. 1 Erection

Bold claim!

Cover of The Bystander magazine from January 29, 1936. Coloured in bright red and blue the edition is dedicated to the death of George V and the new King Edward VIII. there are multiple ads on the front cover, mostly for expensive alcohol

A double page spread featuring a photo of a flag at half mast and text which says Death of the King on the left hand side page. The right hand side contains a large photo of King George V in which he is making a radio broadcast

A double page spread from the magazine with a large heading Ich Dien - I serve and multiple photos of Edward VIII from his time as the Prince of Wales. He was claimed to be a fine and devoted apprentice

I found this amazing 1936 magazine in a charity shop. The edition is about George V's death & the transition to King Edward VIII. Its tone of optimism around the new King is fascinating knowing he abdicated later that year. I so want to read the abdication issue (if it exists) #TheBystander #History

It’s completely overated

A red, square postbox in a small town in the UK. Decorating the top is a very cute knitted Christmas scene which includes a Christmas tree and a large elf

Even the postboxes are getting Christmassy. Not my work but I am extremely jealous #Christmas #PostboxTopper #Postbox

A window display which shows mice sewing Santa's suit on an old-fashioned sewing machine

It's that time of the year again! #AdventWindows #1Dec

Back in Blighty, jet lagged and an artic weather front predicted. I might need to get back on the plane.

A deserted beach sweeps off to the right at sunset. The sky is a pretty yellow at the horizon fading to blue

Long Island (Frankston version) was giving good sunset last night

Two lorikeets are sitting on a fence post in a garden

I’d forgotten just how loud (and stunning) Aussie birbs are
