Wimbledon is a fine example of the pressing need for proper pockets in women's clothes. The men can easily tuck their spare tennis ball in the capacious pockets in their shorts. The women have to tuck theirs into their knickers.

Ok, let’s all agree that January is a practice month and doesn’t count.

It's as dark as during an eclipse here. We've had the lights on since 5pm as the smoke from the Grampians bushfire blankets Ballarat. (It shouldn't be dark until 10pm.) #bushfire #australia

Oh watching the Australian Open tennis is so hard. Every time I watch, my chosen player loses. Every time I concentrate on something else, they win. Sigh.

When 21 small boxes of your most treasured possessions are on a container ship travelling from there to here, news about the Red Sea takes on a distinctly more personal feel. #itsallaboutme

Oh the joys of having a doorbell camera. 12th January and the three joggers who've come past every day around 7am are nowhere to be seen. #begoneNYresolutions!

Make that 100.

Happy New Year! Just coming out of a BIG thunderstorm. Messages from the weather people say there are 86 incidents of trees down, flooding and building damage just in my wee town. 13,000 people without power. Luckily, our little house is still standing, lights on!
(Thinks: Stupid thing to say! 😂)

Just watched Spinal Tap again ... Not only still fab, but Patrick McNee is in it! How could I have forgotten that????

So last night, I was woken up by kangaroos bouncing around the wooden deck outside the window. Or add I prefer to think of it, it was the sound of Santa's reindeer.

Last minute Christmas shopping. Disappointed that there are no Easter eggs on sale anywhere.

Happy Gravy Day everyone!
