This afternoon's choons From one of the best live shows you'd ever see, the Renée Geyer 2007 album Tenderland. Beautiful renditions of some soul classics in Renée's inimitable style. If you've never heard her, do yourself a favour. I was lucky to see her live often, but sadly she died early 2023.

Although it's a weird way to write a date, it's 9/25 so it's the first ever commemorative Doily Day!

Now you know why I love my girls, both goofy galahs Kai and Bobbie! Never a dull moment and always something to screech and scream about.

You can tell the days are getting warmer. The bush flies are less now the dung beetles are multiplying but still populate your back when you're outside. The blow flies have started now. They're the annoying noisy ones that buzz at windows but provide yummy snax for the kitties!
just a few bush flies on a shirt back.

I swear four year old girls are not as petulant as this breathing cadaver. Pettiness off the charts.

Loving my new Surface Pro pen. Worked out how to turn off touch screen when the pen is close. Just worked on a design i did ages ago that had lots of niggly faults. Completely cleaned up in lightning fast time. Impressed!

Humidity is low, like in the 20% range. We get the winds off the desert about 1000km north of here. It's as dry as a nun's all summer. Just get things done at dawn then lock up. It does cool down most nights and it's only unbearable like this week we had late Jan this year.

Podcast Update British Scandal Absolutely loving this. Good long (1 hr) episodes that are really well researched and written. Bit of good humoured banter between Alice and Matt. Currently 73 Scandals each one 3 or4 eps so plenty to binge on. Definitely highly recommend.

Meet Helen, she lives behind the mirror in my bathroom, lovely girl who has hundreds of babies every year. They fly off on silks out the skylight. She has a span as big as a side plate these days.

Peace reins. After yesterday's shenanigans Harry is back to his usual self on my knee. Today joined by Bear. I think he was restless yesterday because he had a bit of a sore tummy after the pigs liver dinner, well the evidence was in the litter box this morning!

What happens when you get a flash of inspiration in the middle of the night? You get up and start yet another project! Looks messy now but it's symetrical so easiest to work if you get to the edges first and make sure you've counted correctly.

Went out for a few things yesterday afternoon and the country is looking magnificent. The canola is in full flower and looking fantastic. These pics, while not mine, are from just up the road. Hundreds of acres of bright yellow. Yes, there were some skippies!

I'm being judged! Got all enthused and started planning a new project and he's like 'WTF dad, you've got lots to finish!'. I tried telling him that's not the point but it fell on deaf ears.

Podcast update: Haven't done one of these for a while. Recently been listening to 'This is Actually Happening'. True life altering stories told by the actual people involved. Some are quite gruesome. Overall good but some of the whiny american accents leave you cold. 150ish stand alone eps.

You can tell the seasons are changing. The winds have swung around and are blowing bush flies by the millions to the coast from the outback. Time to rehang the fly papers. I've tried all the high tech things like zappers and timed fly sprayers but these are still the cheapest and the best.
