A trip down memory lane. On our way back from South East Asia in 2017. My first trip overseas in adulthood. In part on account of the fact I don’t fly ✈️
4 people face the camera, all with dark brown hair. The person on the left has their hair pulled back and she wears her glasses on her head, the next person has facial hair & scruffy hair and they peaks over the first persons shoulder. In the middle a man with a pirate style hat with a sheriffs badge and feathers looks straight on. To the right a younger person smiles. Their hair is also pulled back.

Every time we’re in Sydney we line up in this one spot…

#ryosnoodles #institution #itsaninstitution #crowsnest #northsydney #sydney #ramen #yum
A white bowl of ramen with a white asian soup spoon resting in it suits in the bottom left of frame on a wood look bench. Beside it are chicken karagee, a small red tea pot and small white dishes, another bowl of ramen and a hand holding a small white bowl filled with chilli oil. In the back of the image a Ramen menu sits below two lucky cat figurines. In the foregoing is a bottle of peach juice with a pale pink label A selfie of Gnat at the front right of frame also shows Jason in a queue outside a Ramen Noodle shop. The queue is on a grey concrete footpath in which a tree has been planted & beside a road on which cars can be seen.

@jade101.bsky.social remember the day we saw this bird 🦜 thanks for being my friend 💖
Seen at a distance a patchy bronze brown bird walks on a path covered in leaf litter. In the mid and foreground clumps of native grasses with green ropey leaves lean out over the pathway A patchy bronze brown bird with a white chest stands on the leaf litter. In the foreground are the green ropey leaves from a native grass

While we were camped out on the first by Batemans Bay I was excited that the family of 4 Sooty Oystercatchers I had seen at the far end of the beach walking away from other people, calmly walked right by me at a closer distance. Snorkelled in a secluded rock pool at Sunset. Loved this camp!
A family of four Sooty Oystercatchers, black shore birds with red beaks and feet walk along the beach. Sand in the foreground, wet rocks and sand with the waves lapping over them in the mid ground where the birds are and then the ocean. Out beyond this are multiple headlands covered in trees. A blue and grey camp chair sits to the right hand side of the picture. One the left hand side in the foreground a picnic basket and gas bottle. All sit of leafy ground and beyond this a cabbage palm and gum trunks sit at the front of bush land

Our first accoms in Sydney were cheap and cheerful and a little bit fancy all at once in our #balconyroom at #dalziellodge in #crowsnest #northsydney amongst the #treetops #gadigal #gadigalland
Toast on a white plate sits beside a white mug with a spoon in it and a sachet is sugar beside. Both rest on a small round black glass table ringed with silver metal. This is on a verandah with black metal lacework which looks directly out into the tree tops of large plane trees.

When you keep talking about how you like being given flowers so your eco conscious boyfriend suddenly pulls over and picks you some weed flowers from the roadside. Of course they come along for the roadtrip in a reused milk bottle - no seeds were spread #flowers #truelove #weeds #eco
A man climbs a low but steep hillside picking large white flowers While flowers sit in a reused one litre plastic milk bottle on a camp table alongside a water bottle and tub of camping crockery in the near distance gum trees can be seen

Shipwreck Creek was a good camp. It was only then, the 3rd camp of the trip that the sun really came out and we went for a swim. We sat in the shade by the beach most of the daytime while we were there. One day Jas caught us a nice fish for our tea <3
An inlet by the beach. Sand is piled above and beside a flow of water over rocks, reeds in the foreground. Behind this shrubs and gums densely frame the river. Barely visible is a man, Jason, fishing Gum covered hill against a blue sky streaked by clouds. In the mid ground, water flows over rocks separating the beach foredune from grasses and reeds growing in the sand in the foreground. Gum covered hill against a blue sky streaked by clouds.

Elon Musk wears a tiny sheet fish net singlet and nothing else that can be seen at what looks like a rave party. Several other people dance around him in a crowded dark space.

#mrsmagpie is so chill. No zoom was used as I approached her on the almond tree. I’m keen to show the two babies we are friends as #mrnagpie is still wary & was still swooping us when they were small #magpie #magpies #australianmagpie #bird #almondtree #urbanorchard #permaculture #foodforest #bird

By sheer accident I l’ve realised the perfect place for these alpine strawberries is in the understory of the thickest part of my #foodforest Looking forward to dividing transplanting a whole heap of them there from a sunnier part of the garden #strawberries #alpinestrawberries #forestgarden

As a teenage DK fan I had to grab a pic of this #deadkennedys #graffiti #visualhumour #melbourne #australia #stopthecar
Photo shows a standard Australia green and white major street sign for a 6 way intersection which has been altered to make the Dead Kennedys Symbol. Beyond the sign is the road, cars, a gum tree and the blue sky

Took a photo of Aunty Jess (left) & Aunty Queenie (right) in to mum today. Jess was like a grandma to mum (her own grandmother having died when her mum, my Nan, was only a child) Queenie was in a nursing home when I met her. We used to visit and take her a tray of glacé fruit; cherries & pineapple
