Poor Peri was abandoned at the cafe today by her dad. He had a meeting in the city so left to catch a tram. She only had her mum and other friends - so was technically alone. Poor girl. Please send thoughts and prayers. #DogsOfBluesky

Dinner tonight was RTE fried rice. I used spring onions & last of the snow peas from the garden. Rice wasn’t day old - I tried drying out in fridge. Day old is definitely better. 🍜🍽️🧅🧄🍚🥕🫛🥬🌽

We went to the Cartier exhibition today at the NGV. It was very crowded and dark, so hard to see or read info. Lucky for me the tiara room was less busy. Able to photograph a few beauties.

The latest insult to Peri from her dad - he sent this photo of a giant schnauzer who was in the office in Brisbane. The dog’s name is Loci and apparently he made grunting noises as he slept. Outrageous @nikosaus.bsky.social @misterbailey.bsky.social

One of the joys of Scotland was the place names. In this edition of ABC (another bloody castle) I present Dunvegan castle. I particularly loved the secret door where the ‘staff’ could discretely enter & exit the room. The name @rogueytwinkles.bsky.social for when you’re done being vegan!

I made a small batch of lime drizzle cupcakes. Better than any we tried in the UK. Does help that they are fresh out of the oven. I know it’s traditionally lemon drizzle but we have a LOT of ripe limes to use. 🍽️🍜🍋‍🟩🧁

For your information. Whilst you don’t have to complete a census if you’re overseas, you do have to mark yourself as absent and your house vacant on census night. I checked before we left but all it said was you didn’t need to do the census. I had a letter on our return & have marked us overseas.
