Ipswich Queensland Australia has a tradition dating back at least 80 years of doing laps of the main streets on Friday and Saturday night. It has become an organised event in recent years. Took Grandaughter in for her Lapz. Getting ready for Toyrun.

America you knew what he was. You knew what he did. You knew he would rig the voting. You knew he never paid his bills. You let him get away with it. Evil uses him as a puppet, you knew this. None else in the world is surprised by anything he does. You failed. We are sick of hearing about it.

Camping over weekend lovely big firepit. Did a big lump of lamb wrapped in alfoil in firepit Friday night. Saturday mate showed up with huge pumpkin. Sidecar people are built differently. Had left over lamb, a pumpkin and a firepit. Only one logical choice. Very yummy.

Just watched SPIT on Binge. What a good movie. The sequel to GETTIN SQUARE is a great watch. If you like
Mr Inbetween or enjoy comedic drama set in Australia I highly recommend.

Grandaughtèr has one job on Sunday. The long painful slog from kitchen to wheelie bin. Putting bins on footpath and new liners. You could see the weight of the task draining the energy from her tiny frame.

For every mile I've travelled.
If memories were money
I'd fill a bank or two.

The Turtle. My home for over a year after I retired. I was technically homeless and having a psychotic episode apparently. At the time I just remember travelling and photographing sunsets, writing and performing bush poetry. Saw most of Australia. Miss it occasionally.
