Best of 2025:
Another highlight was visiting my son and daughter-in-law who live in Seattle.
I was never bored there as I spent a lot of time watching, and photographing, the Anna's hummingbirds in his backyard.
The most delightful tiny birds!

What could be better than a ball on the tip of your nose if you’re a ball-obsessed doggo like #Wally? #Christmas2025

Highest yen rate of the last 10 years right now:

If you have a Japan trip booked, might be worth getting some while the rate's high (idk if it's going to get even higher, but I never thought I'd see rates like this).

This 'Aussie Christmas tree' photo is doing the rounds again - usually without attribution.
It was taken by Layn Simpson of Gympie - in his backyard.
An excellent snap.
I have an invitation to visit next time I'm in Gympie so I'll look forward to that.
You can find Layn on Instagram. Worth a follow.

Pepys' diary, December 10, 2025:
Accosted this morning by hordes of desperate urchins begging to borrow my phone for a quick social media fix. Had to beat them off with a stick.
