‘My’ calendar portrait for October, purloined from Daniel’s #Chester archives. No correspondence as to the theft of above photograph will be entered into😂 Chester does look a little wary of the pumpkin though 🫠🦘 Watch this space for what I can steal for 1927. 👀🦘
Chester looking somewhat puzzled by the orange ‘person’ on his right.

A small reminder that spring is on its way down under. Still pretty cold here in the mornings, remind me of this when I’m grizzling in the Summer.🦘

@revdaniel.bsky.social The Australian version of The six lovers of James 1st. As a lover of English history, I was piqued by your reading list at Christmas, so asked my local librarian to get it for me, it’s arrived, I’m enjoying it immensely, your James needs his own copy I feel 🦘

You’re thinking spring is slow, say hello to autumn down under, my beautiful tree is still deciding on what colour to wear this season 🤣🦘
Just the odd change of colour.Still thinking about maybe autumn, it’s nearly winter tree…

@revdaniel.bsky.social @thetastate.bsky.social Having seen your stormy, snowy pictures, thought I’d throw in a NZ flame tree from my neighbourhood to warm you up 😎
NZ flame tree flowering majestically in my neighbourhood, we’ve been known to nick things from NZ .

Was a bit dull and dreary yesterday, so denuded the garden of what it had managed to produce and bring it inside, I’m feeling better but the garden is a little naked 🤷‍♀️🦘🦘

@revdaniel.bsky Holiday jobs,my sister in law got into my pantry while I was recovering from my knee surgery, I’ve now got no idea where anything is, but she took a photo so I can make sure where to put things back. Bless you two, people of many talents 😘🦘🇦🇺

It’s taken all of autumn for my Manchurian Pear tree to begin to change colour, with winter starting in a week or two, I’m beginning to wonder about climate change 🤷‍♀️🦘🇦🇺

boddfran.bsky.social @boddfran.bsky.social · 02/05/2025
Someone needs to tell my Manchurian Pear tree that it’s May and autumn is more than half way through, and there is only 1, I repeat 1 leaf changing colour. 12mm 💦 in 4 months is not enough Lord! Do I need to do a naked rain dance on the lawn? (What’s left of it) ☔️🦘🇦🇺

ANZAC day here, so I’m sharing my story of my father’s contribution to the freedom and safety against the tyranny of war. He wasn’t my dad then of course, I didn’t come along until the 1940’s. I’m very proud of him, he died just before I was 4. Lest we forget 🦘🫠
