Enjoying a few days in Cairns.

Your country is even more under the control of oligarchs than Russia. Strange how you don’t see that.

It’s the best!

There’s always room for one or two more

Not smaller. Different.

You’re too important to lose. Stay safe.

Exactly. More than the clothes come off my back.

I asked my GP. He looked at the tiny bumps on my chest and thought it likely. Good call.

Not to my knowledge

My local beach. One of the best.

Enjoying drinks on the recent cruise to New Zealand. I’m not sure eating and drinking my way across an ocean is the best use of my time but there are some positives.

Naturist walking in Australian bush.

I’m walking out again now the weather has dropped off from the insane heat of summer.

With no spending because of no income there will be a rapid reset in the most unexpected way.

We had 562 finishers at Parkrun yesterday. Hopefully not quite such an onerous task for you. Good luck with the injury.

It’s rituals. For almost everything. Doing things the same way every time lets me get through the day with as few crises as possible.

Nothing beats it but it can grow to a massive height and can be a lot of work. Sadly, in the end I had to remove mine and replace them with something not quite so vigorous.

Not a good time to be a possum.

It was some day in Sydney

You get to some beautiful places.

Nice set up for a break.

Chlorinate - 10

Complete right.

When I thought it couldn’t be more pathetic…

Ghosting is weird. And nasty.

Good luck getting through this. It’s better than the alternative.

So then I went with backgrounds. I think it worked.

Normally I do travel sketches or drawing, rarely repeating a work. This year I decided to do some Christmas Bell cards for family and half way through I’m a bit drained and want to finish them off with a background. I’m thinking of different backgrounds to lose the “ turning the handle” feeling.

Are you talking about the National Party? It’s been happening for a long time.

Work on improving your sleep. It can make a big difference and you have more energy to make use of that excellent wood.
