Dear Mr Trump, anger is a powerful motivator but a terrible compass.

In other news, President Trump’s inauguration day is moving indoors. Concerned officials said they wanted to mitigate against the risk of “Hell freezing over on Trump’s big day”.

Southern Aurora on display in parts of Victoria (and other parts of Australia) in the wee hours of the morning. Spectacular sight.

Try this if you find it difficult to understand the difference between millions, billions and trillions:

1 million seconds = 11.6 days.
1 billion seconds = 31.7 years.
1 trillion seconds = 31,709 years.

I send a tweet on Twitter, what do we call it when I post a message on Blue Sky? Is it a Bluey? 🤔

Harry and I heading out for a swim a few day after his dad passed away. Just the two of us on a very shitty day but it didn’t matter an inch. Harry’s stories, tears, laughter and memories made it an occasion I was blessed to be a part of.

Humpback whales less than a 100 metres from the waters edge. North Stradbroke Island. Australia’s best kept secret.

By no means scientific but heartening to say the least. Whale watching on North Stradbroke Island, Australia is a gift that keeps giving.

I take photos of beautiful things. A selection of photos from Flemington Racecourse a week before the Melbourne Cup (not that I’m a fan of horse racing, it just happens to be a great place to walk the dog).

This is my weekend indulgence. Swimming in glassy water with the Belugas followed by coffee and a catch up on all things life. Great for the soul.
