All that stealing food from the bird feeder has made me thirsty…….

Here we are, October, and it’s that time of the year. Every morning as we step out of the front door we have to wave to the world. Similar to the Melbourne wave in the summer, only this time it isn’t because of the flies. Our deeply recessed front door seems to be the ideal place for spiders to construct their webs. Sadly, we have to break the fruits of their nightly labours. Quite often we can’t actually see the webs, or the single strands that are the anchor points for the more elaborate works of art, so we end up pulling the debris from our hair and clothes. Don’t you just love cobwebs across your face and eyes.
However, a few mornings ago we were treated to a quite beautiful display. Here are a few pictures that I took. They really don’t do justice to the real thing, but I hope you enjoy them.









Union Jack was a Newfie, a Newfoundland, and he has sadly passed away. He was a big friendly pooch.
Sadly missed by his family and those of us who only knew him briefly. Keeping company with Robin Williams and Lauren Bacall.
His passing will have left a huge void in his home and he will certainly be missed.
My daughters new venture seems to have gotten off to a good start. Now the hard work really begins. Just a few pix to show the new store……














Fabulous sunset viewed from my front doorstep.
