I have this beautiful old pedal organ at home in Sydney. I think my parents were given it in the late 70s while we lived in Cooma, NSW, but clearly it comes originally from Vermont.
I want to offload it, but how? Who would want a pedal organ now?

I think we found an Australian funnel-web spider today in this little tunnel on St Georges Basin in NSW.
Cute little thing came out to grab a pine needle we tickled its web with, and dragged it back, holding tightly.

My father died over 8 years ago, which means it's time to sort through more boxes of stuff from his life.
Why did he keep so many pencil stubs?
Needless to say, I'm keeping them too.

Good morning Sydney!
I guess it's huntsman season again 😬.
This one was released into the backyard after delaying my morning coffee.
