Beginning to feel like this gentleman, the waiting is not good. I keep plugging up more holes in my old Queenslander where nothing is waterproof. At least I know the house and roof will stand. Keep sage everyone

Been hot here in Brisbane - the birds are 'splooting'.

My 100yr old mango tree partially bloomed this year. The mangoes looked really nice - I wish I could have tasted one. Alas I had to stand in line behind the flying foxes, possums, brush turkeys, lorikeets ,crows and skinks. Next time maybe..

And then this fine specimen wanted to watch over me while I slept. But I had to gently show him the door. #stickinsect #australianwildlife

Left one shopping bag from home delivery in the front room overnight and found next morning I had a free gift, a ring- tailed possum no less. He didn't want to leave me, he gave me a nasty look. #ring-tailedpossum #australianwildlife

My constant visiting friend. Sometimes leaves a gift for me on the deck. Sometimes goes to laugh and then thinks better of it.
