Lovely afternoon in Hunters Hill/Woolwich. I could live here, if I had to.
View from Clarke’s Point. There is a sailing boat with a light blue hull and white sails in the water, behind it is the city skyline and the harbour bridge. A green sign with white letters says “Woolwich Baths”. Above the sign is a jacaranda tree and to the left, descending stairs.

Nice little drive out to Wisemans Ferry this afternoon.
View of the Hawkesbury River from Hawkins Lookout, looking down towards Wismans Ferry.

This is a normal hobby for my teenage daughter to have right?
A skull in a box with a couple of dirty rags.

My daughter persuaded me not to mow a patch of our back garden, so now we have a rectangle of clover flowers and new friends visiting 🐝

Most appropriate, if slightly pointed, birthday present ever. Also a contender for latest present ever seeing as my birthday was two months ago 😄
Front cover of the book Men of a Certain Age, by Kate Mossman.

Stellar evening with #GenesisOwusu tonight. I mean, who doesn’t like a bit of soul/funk/hip-hop/rock?

Wondering how threadbare a t-shirt can get before you should stop wearing it in public. Reckon this has another good year in it.
A very threadbare tee with an image of a flying gramophone on the front.

I’m getting too old to stay up past midnight on a Tuesday, but this was fun. Aussie super group ARC performing Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon.

This'll end in tears no doubt.
Looking down at a pair of red skis with the word "ATOMIC" written on them in white, standing on sludgy snow/ice. Skis are attached to the legs on some idiot who is about to hurl himself off the top of a mountain.

Beautiful view to wake up to at #LakeJindabyne.
View of Lake Jindabyne through some trees, it’s early morning and the clouds are low over the mountains in the distance.

#Roadtrip to #Jindabyne.
Dual carriageway ahead, it is sunny, a blue sky above. To the left the is a large white cloud. Looking across Lake George. In the distance there is a row of wind turbines, the sun is breaking through the dark clouds, but it looks like rain is lashing down as well. Double rainbow! Looking through the windscreen of a car, it’s getting dark outside and it’s raining hard. A line of cars is coming in the other direction with headlights on. The sun is setting making the sky bright orange.

The Airbnb we’re staying at tonight, house rule 3: Do NOT let the cat inside.
Within five minutes of arriving:
A floofy cat looking through the glass back door, expecting to be let in.

This’ll do. #DangarIsland.
Getting towards sunset. There is a beach in the foreground. In the distance there are hills and above them the sun is hitting the clouds. Through the clouds there is a rainbow.

Not a beach day.
Palm Beach (not that one). It’s raining and there’s dark clouds overhead.

Just got a pig butchering opener. It’s nice to feel wanted 🥹
SMS message that says: “Hey, mum. I'm letting you know that this will be my new number. I've dropped my phone in the toilet and now it's having trouble recognising my old sim card. X👍”.
