Matchy Matchy. My Hongdian M2 Green suits the Tintris canvas A6 notebook cover. #fountainpens #notepads #writercompanion #goeseverywhere

Oohhh it was a frosty one this morning in Drouin.

I also love my new Hongdian M2.

Believe it or not - TEMU.

Thank you, I also have a very nice Hongdian M2 that is in my notebook.

And yet these are the “experts“ who advise government and whose opinions are sought by news outlets. Not so smart after all?

I do love my Lamy Fountain Pens. It’s an absolute joy to write with a lovely fountain pen. Feels very sophisticated

Winter sunrise over our cosy bush home. Peaceful start to the day.

First car story. It was a 1968 mini panel van. $100. Owned it - no debt. Never EVER been in debt for a car. Never. Always paid cash. First new car at age 40. NO CAR LOANS HERE. Why? I was always too scared of owing more than the car was worth - is that where you find yourself now?? Upside down??

What? Just like The Voice?

I wish I had the power to deport all those antisemetic oxygen thieves. The world seems to forget how many people died in two World Wars trying to eliminate demonic leaders (Hitler). All for nothing it seems.

🙋🏼‍♀️ I confess, I am that lonely rebel.

I saw a similar thing, a goanna climbed a tree because people were nearby, and the mortal enemy Kookaburras attacked in full force. And noisy too.

Our local big fella, old man goanna, who’s about 20 years old. Not friendly !! #bushbudgets #aussiebush #wildlife #nature

Black red and yellow butterfly

Might be a ‘common’ jezebel but I still love to see them each year. #butterflies #jezebel #bushbudgets

People build and rebuild in known historical fire corridors. Council tries to stop them but get beaten by challenges at VCAT. Is that climate change or stupidity?

The more people in the world, building more expensive properties in locations not suited to habitation (by humans), the bigger the cost when sh*t hits the fan. Not all about climate change (convenient label) but people can’t accept the word NO. They fight Councils to get permits.

It’s sad when people have dementia, but don’t know they have dementia. 😃

Yes, a happy coincidence because the wire was protecting some plants from rabbits 😄
