It has been an age, my fellow Blueskyers. A lot has happened in the past while. After a three month illness that I had trouble shifting, my contract was not extended. This time, rather than look for work, I retired. Yesterday, I sewed three quilt tops.

My Once in a Cabin quilt, completed over the weekend. Quick, easy and fun to make as long as you remember the order of your pieces. First time using Ruby Star Society fabrics too. This one is reading nook. Love the animals in it. #quilts #quiltsky

This morning's final surveillance before giving me the thumbs up to go into the office today.

Live music can certainly throw out some good vibes. Friday night, a few weeks ago, gorgeous Indigenous lady belting out some classics. Even had a trio of boot scooters give an impromptu performance. Support your local pub. Hotel Metropole, Ipswich, Queensland

So even though she is now out of solitary confinement, she still wants to sleep in the bed that is currently located in solitary. Oh Miss Lily, you silly girl. #catsky

Meet Miss Lily. She is currently confined to a puppy play pen. She is not happy about the situation. Nor is she happy with having to have tablets and liquid medicine to help combat a bacterial infection. Poor Miss Lily. But she is getting special food treats, unlike the other cats. 🐈 😻 #catsky

Who invited you to breakfast? Wildlife in Australia, Kalbar in Queensland to be exact. Just another day in the country.

Chilling in bed on a Sunday morning with this beauty, Tish. What a great start to the day.

To everyone who started following me the last couple of days, thank you. To whoever added me to a starter pack, cheers. It was a boost to self to see all the follows today. Mind has been elsewhere due to Cyclone Alfred. Our bridge into town has now been closed. If it's flooded, forget it.

I did it too, from down under Australia. Love to you all.

And here from down under, at least Google has Gulf of Mexico, even if, unfortunately, they include the alias, the AKA (also known as) name.

Look around, folks. You never know what is hiding in plain sight. We happened to sit inside at a local coffee shop instead of outside. Now, I want to sit inside and check out a different section of the wall.

Mum, Mum, Mum, watcha doing Mum?

This is what happens when you let their batteries run down
