A slice of dahlia action. #dahlia #gardensky 🌱

Some Lilliums for those who like them. I am getting some lovely flowers this year #gardensky 🌱

Finished book 9 last night. Saidin has been cleansed. Book 10 underway. I remember wondering twenty odd years ago when this series was going to end. I thought it would finish by book 10 or 11. Though 11 seemed an odd place. Not knowing was tense #thewheeloftime #wheeloftime #booksky 🪐📚💙

Two Goldies in peak relaxation mode #goldenretriever #dogsofbluesky

I am absolutely absorbing The Wheel of Time books at the moment. Book 7 finished in 10 days. Book 8 finished in 5 days. Now onto Book 9, Winter's Heart. #thewheeloftime #wheeloftime 💙📚🪐 #booksky

An opportunistic photo. They don't sit still for long. And sadly this does not do justice to the lovely red dots of this Swallowtail butterfly #photography 📷

At last the Bishop has come out to play 🌱 #gardensky #dahlia

I must have chug-a-lugged A Crown of Swords as it doesn't seem that long ago I picked it up. Finished now though, and on to The Path of Daggers. It has been so long that it seems like I am reading this tale, again, for the first time #thewheeloftime #wheeloftime #booksky 🪐📚💙

The hydrangea Dark Knight in flower 🌱 #gardensky

Bookshelf 14 of 20. A continuation of the marvellous Julian May series. Mary E Pearson's book The Courting of Bristol Keats was a really good read. The second book I have on order. Hopefully it arrives soon 💙📚🪐 #booksky

Combining a couple of my best friends #booksky

Early dawn, Kiama NSW #photography

Will the parrots beat me to them? Will cherries ripen on a sunny shelf if I pick them early? #gardensky 🌱

I am watching the Pier Gynt suite while draped in dogs #dogsofbluesky #gsp #goldenretriever

Now on to Book 7 of the Wheel of Time series. It has been nearly twenty years since I first read this book and I am just as engrossed in the story now as I was then #booksky #wheeloftime #thewheeloftime 💙🪐📚

To our great surprise and delight, Ned won two ribbons at the Dogs A.C.T. Championship show. At 7 months old he is a goofy lanky teenager and we did not expect to win anything. My wife is learning how to show him so she is particularly proud #goldenretriever #dogsofbluesky

A productive time this morning. The recipe calls for corn flakes but my youngest (27) ate them all so I substituted rolled oats. Chocolate Coconut Slice. Not as good as my Mum's ❤️ though but still delish. Now neatly cut into squares #baking #bakingsky

Young Ned copping a bathe and clean. He was not very fond of the experience. However on Sunday he goes into the ring to be judged and he was scruffy. Very scruffy. #dogsofbluesky #goldenretriever

When it comes to hanging out the washing I am completely unable to mismatch each peg colour. I am also known to either match peg colour to the item or co-ordinate peg colour with the item. My wife does not and I suspect does not even notice the beauty of it. Hanging out the wash is art #bluesky #ocd

Play time after breakfast. Frieda #gsp and Ned #goldenretriever #dogsofbluesky

Frieda. Not quite awake yet. Somewhere under there #dogsofbluesky #gsp

A warm spring breeze on a lazy Saturday afternoon #spring

Bungendore NSW Showground, hosting the Bungendore All Breeds Championship Show. Ned got a second. He is nearly 7 months and a bit of a goofy teenager. The showground venue in a quiet moment with a group of choughs taking advantage #bluesky #photography

Jacobean Lily (Zephyranthes formosissima). Very beautiful. I love Spring. 🌱 #gardensky

Black stemmed hydrangea Dark Knight. The black stems are only on new growth so a short haircut is called for. When the white flowers appear I will post another pic 🌱 #gardensky

Ned. The sleep of a 6 month old puppy ❤️ #dogsofbluesky #goldenretriever

We have had a sudden return to Winter temperatures #dogsofbluesky

The kit build is complete. It was a good introduction for my first build in decades. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Tomorrow it will be introduced to its new home on the club layout. #modelrail #modelrailway 🚂

October 30 across the road 💀

I believe I have finally solved the problem of this decoder destroying lok. It had to do with the internal placement of the decoder. My bad judgement and inexperience. After some trials I'll add lights. #fleischmann #modelrail #modelrailway 🚂

My first rose of Spring is coming out. A damask rose called 'Ispahan'. It has a lovely scent. #gardensky 🌱

Not far to go now. I am up to step 6 of 9 in the instructions. #modelrail #modelrailway

Pups in their favourite spot. The top dog is Nellie and the other two gravitate to her. Frieda is her bestie #dogsofbluesky #goldenretriever #gsp

This house nearby is coming down today. It is 70+ years old and full of recyclable materials like the roof tiles, windows, doors and copper piping. The neighbours have been salvaging what they can before everything is destroyed and it all goes to landfill #recycle #re-use

I took a little while to finish book five however I have finally started book six Lord of Chaos #thewheeloftime I am continually in awe at the genius of Jordan's story telling #booksky #wheeloftime

Frieda, aka Fred in full scratch massage ecstasy with snout plant. May have nodded off #gsp #dogsofbluesky

Nellie, aka Naragold The Princess Bride, performing full squidgy face in an unguarded moment. #goldenretriever #dogsofbluesky

The windows and doors have been painted, glazed and fitted. And yes, we can see inside. However nothing to see but bare brown walls. My skills don't extend to interior decorating #modelrail #modelrailway

A little marbled gecko uncovered during a clean outside. It didn't move for about an hour and a half. After about an hour it was brown where it appears white in the photo. Another half hour and it was gone. It took a while to heat up #gecko #nature

Moving right along. The cladding has been painted and glued to the structure. Next is painting the internals but I am pretty sure we can't see inside. Maybe. Then getting the windows and doors painted, glazed and fitted. #modelrailway #modelrail

The club bought some kit models for the layout. For me it is the Milk Bar and Post Office building. I have not put together a model kit since I was a teenager, and then it was plastic Airfix of either planes or ships. Decades ago. This is mostly wooden and quite a challenge. #modelrail #modelrailway

I acquired some new wagons. Something affordable for 201 to pull. The club layout is also starting to take shape. #modelrailway #modelrail #roco 🚂

A couple of pups, Frieda and Ned, just hanging on a lovely Sunday morning #dogsofbluesky #gsp #goldenretriever

Ummm ... ummm 🌱

Tulips for Tee @mooretee.bsky.social

Whoa! I just spent a wadge of money buying this collection of books. I just finished watching a series called Wainwright Walks and although the Lakes scenery is outstanding it was the excerpts of Wainwright's prose that hooked me. Beautiful #booksky 💙📚 www.alfredwainwright.co.uk/product/the-...

Friday naughty lunch. Very yum #bluesky

One of my favourites. Love the dogs ❤️ #dogsofbluesky
