Viagra Boys were just bloody great. Those seeing them tomorrow are in for a treat.

Things I saw today:
A red spider-like lift, being used to clean the winter gardens building, appears to be threatening a white classical style figure. The setting is a summer garden. A 1970s anti nuclear poster showing a face/skull and the words "Nobody wants an atomic paradise" A model octopus. Sign says "gloomy octopus" Giant lily pads. A pink water lily bud has a tiny, jewel-likr emerald frog on it

A view of Cuba street from the window of Midnight Espresso. A silver car in the foreground, an urban streetscape of old buildings, concrete, road, cars and street plantings.

A green field with a driveway leading through some gates. Chickens lie everywhere. The sign over the gate says "Boneless Chicken Ranch"

Vinegar Hill today
A view of a pale grey stone beach by a river. The water is deep green next to the grey mudstone cliffs. Dense bush covers the steep faces. The sun is out, people are in the water and on the beach. Cars and tents under willows. It is cool and shady. Rainbow flags feature.

I love that first contemplative coffee of the day
A hand holds a coffee cup. The cup says GROUSE, with a bird on it. Background is a multicolored duvet, a white wall and a shaft of early almost sun.

I just made a Xmas fruit mince shortcake. The fruit mince has been soaking in scotch for a couple of weeks. So good :)

I am DONE.
A hand holds a green can of Stoke IPA. It is obvious that the holder of the beer is doing some festive lying on the couch.

About six hours work for 2 little jars. But an absolute flavour bomb.
To be served Xmas day on baguettes, with a sharp lemony green pesto and maybe pickled samphire tips.

Heading to town for family present buying, catching up with a mate or two and hopefully a walk-in to a barber's.

I also have this dream.
This is my grandad at about 16, with his contracting team, in the Mackenzie Country, pretty soon before he enlisted for WWII.
I don't want a ploughing gang, but I would learn how to build a traveller's van if I had a pair.
A sepia photo of a leprechaun looking young fella with five very large Clydesdale horses. The background is scrubby farmland, there is a black and tan farm dog drinking out of the ditch.

This cinnabar moth also has caterpillars which eat ragwort, and is definitely a fairy
