I was late for trivia because I met this dog with a light-up collar and I had to spend some time admiring and praising her.

Well, this sign by the road was just great.

Behold the Volcano: soft serve ice cream dipped first in chocolate then in sherbert.

Mesmerising lightning fixture or portal to another world? Or both?

They are astounding! But a trifle exuberant for solemn occasions. I think the #MysteryBoots might have been a little more subdued. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book.

This fire was set up outside the pizza place, and the flames were green!

Let us commence the meal with some small delights to prime the palate.

I’m surprised this isn’t a more common flavour of #peculiarmilk . And the bottle is extremely impressive-looking.

Every once in a while, someone apparently feels the need to add something to the library fountain.

My friend casually asked if I’d like to see her new tattoo, and when I saw it, I was so astounded that I was unable to speak for a few minutes.

Book Review: 'Royal Gambit' by Daniel O'Malley Read our review of Royal Gambit by Daniel O'Malley. In the supernatural thriller, the Checquy investigate in the race to stop a killer.

“…a fast-paced adventure with a captivating mystery that keeps you laughing... Royal Gambit is a perfect summer read.”

I asked the lady in front of me at the theatre if I could take a picture of her sweater with Westies on it. Then it turned out I already knew her.

It’s a quokka! And they’re definitely real!

USA readers, these three books are available on Kindle Unlimited until the beginning of October.

Pecan pie for Christmas in July!

A darn good time at the launch of my friend @jackheathwriter ‘s new book - Doctor Who: Frankenstein and the Patchwork Man! Was alarmed by the daleks guarding the food, though. #doctorwho

I do enjoy a nostalgia diner, especially with a cherry-ripe milkshake.

This boot by Donna-May Bolinger at the @nationalgalleryaus has some Grafter vibes.

I find the picture on this warning sign adorable, like it’s cautioning us about toy trains.

A visit to a different state (in this case, Queensland) brings a new #peculiarmilk . Mango and cream, like the classic Weiss Bar ice cream .

Thank you so much! I will endeavour to hurry.

I would love to! I am making cautious plans, and will bellow it here when things are locked in.

As my friend remarked, you rather hope it will say 'spit spot' when signalling for you to cross.

PL Travers, creator of Mary Poppins, was born in Maryborough, Queensland, and in that city, they have some Mary Poppins-themed crossing lights.
