Party Time

This weekend is special. It’s a New Year, a New Plan, a New … ah, bugger it. Let’s just party. There’s the big event at the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House – spectacular!

The … Continue reading The Creeper

The End of Spring

Although it feels like the end of Winter, Spring it is. Rain, rain, more rain. This is the wettest year since we moved here (is it 17 years already?), and the weeds are ten feet tall (I might be exaggerating, but if you saw down the back fence, you’d know it for fact!). The water … Continue reading The End of Spring
