My flame tree has only flowered two or three times in the 11 years I’ve lived here. Today it’s full of rainbow lorikeets!

I can never see coffee beans without thinking of Barry (the Great) Greatorex from Nick Earls’ “Zig Zag Street”. Which makes me think of his inevitable breakdown and Richard’s nude office dancing. If you haven’t read it, you really should.

He had a huge personal space and a giant ego. He was not especially affectionate but he did like to sit on my lap, and he did sleep on my bed (on top of the covers, never under!) I really miss him.

My beautiful sister in law died today, with her husband, her dog and her best friend by her side. She was able to be at home, as she wanted. She’s out of pain. We miss her already. I’m drinking a Guinness in my back yard to her memory. Love you always, Anna Spannah. Xxx
