Loved peeking into this yard and all its details: the drapery of yellow netting, the paint-spattered geraniums (carefully secured by multiple ties), the busted bucket, the red chairs... 🇬🇷

The winter fuel load is drying off and we also have school holidays. Fires fires everywhere. OH has been out again last week. They were protecting a home at the top of the ridge. Trying to get it out before it got there.

Where to swim and how to get there. The all-important question for these women (in their 60s). That's yours truly with her arm extended.😊🇬🇷

I like a town where you can go to Woolworths to pick a few things, then photograph a Platypus from the other side of the car park. Five stars. #wildoz
