Crazy animal lady, cricket obsessive, Parkrunner and housesitter - possessed of perennial itchy feet.
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.

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.

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.

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.
