Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 16hMulberries. This is it, the crop. I have 4 trees (and 2 currawongs). 1181
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm also deep into Mary Stewart's Merlin series. What can I say, I need a comfort read. 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Went to see NT Live's The Misanthrope. It had a lot to say. Great cast. What can I say, I always feel for the character as I'm a blunt bitch who speaks her truth. It's a 4 hour round trip now to see art films. I'm tired. 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It was. More dancing, from a first floor window in Government House (I was waiting for a talk). 120
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Wisteria Gardens, Baramadagal Country. Yes, these are not wisteria. Couldn't get near the wisteria. Wisteria hysteria. 031
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Regency Promenade at Old Government House, Country of the Baramadagal people. It was 32C. My bonnet was not cut out for this. 132
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Flattened silver armbands from the Galloway Hoard, currently at the Australian National Maritime Museum. 021
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The wheat belt is now a canola belt, apparently. 📷 taken from a train near the South Australia-Victoria border. 2123
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Glenelg, previously Holdfast Bay, country of the Kaurna people. 012
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Damn autocorrect. Here’s a boat sailing on the air, also from Parramatta Open. 011
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Big day yesterday for someone still a bit woozy. Explored with Parramatta Open. Peaked inside the barracks, the court house holding cells, the town hall. Followed by Tim Finn. It was a great show, buoyed by lots of love. 120
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 22/08/2026And she did the Like a Version Radiohead cover. Neat. Sorry for the crappy vid, I fumbled. 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Decided to see Vera Blue as a treat (everything is terrible). She was amazing. Really great show. All my faves. 000
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Watching EPIC, because we're an observant household.🕺 Yesterday, there was a record fair. I stuck to the bargain boxes. I did, promise. 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I should explain. On holiday. Large fire nearby turning sky orange. I asked the manager what the protocols were. She overheard and got very nasty. This was 2019. Have you read the 2019-20 reports? Yes, I fear fire. 110
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Judith Durham's dress, from performing with the Seekers. Old Treasury Building, Naarm/Melbourne 030
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I mean, one measly flyblown clementine. It's hardly a victory garden. 000
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Saw Avatar at the art gallery. I learnt a lot. Loved the animations. Wave those entrails in the air like you just don't care www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/whats-on/exh... 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Actual proper charcoal grey banging thunderstorm overhead, BOM, but never mind. 020
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Also from Naarm, an old, old helmet on display in the Hellenic Museum, which is a favourite. 000
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I'm tired of being sad. Here's a pic from the last time I was happy, in Naarm, back in April, at the NGV 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 27/06/2026The camellias. They are quite magnificent this year. I don't know why. I wish I had heart enough left to take proper joy of them. 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 27/06/2026To lose one cat is a misfortune, to lose 2 will probably get me in trouble. Dear old grumpy pants Blue had a bad stroke. I buried him with a sprig of lavender and camellia blossums. The cat who came to dinner, and stayed for the messy garden. 340
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Going to bed exhausted. Dug a deep hole and buried my darling old trickster cat. The effort not to cry is shattering. 200
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 24/05/2026This was excellent. A real thought lrovoking discussion on heroes, monsters a d bad behaviour 000
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Orangutan watching the animals in the zoo. Melbourne Zoo, Narrm 000
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Shrine of Remembrance, Narrm. I remember my grandmother's favourite brother, the one who came back from the war, never the same. He sat on a park bench, shuffling cards, day after day. 120
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Unsolicited duck pic. Yesterday, I went to the show. Olympic Park, Wangal Country 030
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Went to the art gallery yesterday on a rainy morning. I liked it. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/whats-on/exh... 040
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 03/04/2026I feel for the estuary birds in this pic. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04... 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 15/03/2026What else am I going to see on the Ides of March? 😁 Love Bell. Being a touring teaching company they cleave to clarity over cleverness (if you've seen Hamlet Camp you know of which I speak). Not that they're not clever, it's just, well, the play's the thing. 000
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 07/03/2026I also crammed in a matinee of Art. Damon and Toby were excellent, but Rox had them laughing all the way to the back of the Ros just with the way he stood in front of the painting. Supreme shoulder acting. 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 07/03/2026I thought Grace Jones was most pop star, but Jarvis is all hold my English breakfast tea. Pulp were fantasmagorical. Smashing concert, even in the rain. 020
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Got a pomegranate off the tree. Why yes, my pomegranate is the sweetest, juiciest pomegranate. 010
Jen @mockturtle06.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Friday was hectic. Up hours before dawn for frantic kitchen scrubbing. Plumber arrives to replace down pipe. Much noise and dust. Meanwhile urgent last minute jobs. Then off to the Art Gallery to see Dangerously Modern. Very different to the SA version. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/w... 010
