Crazy animal lady, cricket obsessive, Parkrunner and housesitter - possessed of perennial itchy feet.
If anything can make sitting in the mechanic waiting room better it’s watching a brilliant 150 from Root. What an admirable knock.

Pancakes aka Miss Panky has had her bath and is at her fluffiest best. Not interested in watching the cricket with me though.😢

Believe it or not I made a new friend at Ecco Ripley parkrun today. It was a very friendly group, lots of bubblers on the route and downhill to finish off. They even made a fuss of me because it is my birthday.

Parkrun training today in Mount Coot-tha Botanical Gardens but not really training - had to keep stopping for the curious and the beautiful.

It’s 35 degrees here in Queensland and Miss Panky is pooped. Scary way of lying though.

Have to watch where I walk with this wee girl around. She’s an expensive little package.

Best advice ever on The Wall and 2 of the things I’ve learned in 10 years of housesitting. Life is short. Hug your dog.

Splotty dog who didn’t even do Parkrun with me this fine Christmas morning. Thanks to South West Rocks for organising a run this morning.

Burritoed cavadoodle now ready for Christmas. He’s such a lovely dog, tail still waggy and no sense of betrayal in those puppy eyes.

Now that takes me back. I was the envy of all the other debs when my boyfriend took me to the Ball in one of these.

This area is famous for its flocks of birds. Ibis, pelican, white cockies and a sacred flock of black cockatoo. But one of the great delights is the multitude of bats which fill the sky at the setting of the sun.

True summer. In the aircon with Christmas chocolate and glued to this gritty display by the Poms.

Parkrun bonus today. Spent as much time at the Horseshoe Bay Reserve markets as I did on the course.

Nothing but admiration for players, amateur or professional, who suffer extreme heat for their sport. Exemplified by Stokes’ knock in Adelaide.

In the midst of a heatwave here. If the pooch isn’t used to drinking a lot, I make meatsicles. His food frozen into cubes. Engagement as well as hydration.

So this would be the same dog that lay down on the path and refused to go any further on our walk this morning!
Who made me carry him to the car. Little scamp.

It’s dark times but here on the coast, The Wall is a two kms walk to lighten the spirits with creativity and expressions of love.

My hosts didn’t explicitly say I couldn’t take the boat out. 😁😁😁

Love country town signage. While fully approving of an arvo wine, one wonders what an indecent pizza might be or what makes an oyster fancy. A little hat perhaps.

An energising morning today. South West Rocks has a lovely parkrun that really gives all the bush feels.

Am I feeling protected by this guy while I’m here? Maybe! 🤔🤔🤔
