Basket Cat surveying his vast domain

Bushfire sunset

The Leaning Tower of Pisser is no more … loo with a view anyone?

We discovered last night that we have a mating-pair of Tawny Frogmouths at Bumble Cottage! So excited!!

45 degrees and blowy in our part of Victoria today. Dangerous conditions

Best investment ever - Pestrol Predator fly trap. That’s 10 days worth of collection in only one of the units we have on the back verandah. It works amazingly well, and while we are still swatting the occasional one bothering us when we sit out, we CAN actually sit out now.

Happy holidays, everyone. May your day be merry and bright.

I hope these shrink as they cool, or I am going to have trouble getting the lids on 😂😂😂

Hello #insect lovers of Bluesky…. Any idea what this lovely might be? Location Victoria Australia…he’s about 20cm long. #entomology

Dinner might be a while

Krasnyy parallel parked with his mate Bernard the fox on the spare bed, enjoying the morning sun

GAH! Krasnyy! You're not supposed to bring mice INTO the house!!!!

Tinsel-free zone.

Giddyup Sparklefarts, it’s time to roll 🙂 Not even the ute was exempt from the Tinselator’s attack

Back verandah has been lit and tinselled. Mr Collier is unstoppable ❤️🎄🎅

Just when you think there was enough tinsel … not even Krasnyy escaped the sparklification of Bumble Cottage!

Yay for Christmas lights (with a header harvesting canola in the distance)

Was it a mistake to put the husbang in charge of tinsel? He decorated the microwave …. And the fridge … and pretty much everything else hehehe

Straight to Whamhalla for me. The husbang put on a Christmas playlist while we decorate… first song… ahhhh #whamageddon2025

There’s a HUGE KFC bucket in a paddock in Shepparton. I love it! I wanted to sketch it in situ but alas the road is a truck route with nowhere to pull over. Oh well

Meet Margaret…. She’s the huntsman currently living her best life on my desk under my Mac

Tonight’s ear-worm … Cheap wine and a three-legged goat… sorry Jimmy Barnes for mangling your song #missheardlyrics

35 degrees at 2030 but this sunset is our reward

If I could fit this to spray the paddocks, I would buy this in a heartbeat

TIL …. Fields of flowering canola does not activate my allergies…. Harvesting canola (whilst fun to watch) does make my head fill with snot

Fixit time… need to be able to collect storm water

Re skeet for my coming birthday:) preddy please

That sliding doors moment Almost every minute

Bob Massingbird and Little John worked super hard in the heat this weekend, mowing and clearing around Bumble Cottage.

Who’d have thunk that I’d be excited about our latest delivery??

It offends me so much when bsky puts these labels on EVERY NAKED WOMAN I POST What about my work makes this suggestive when a furry bent of in tight leggings with a prominent and inviting camel toe is ok? It makes no sense

A sloppy video about a slappin collection

Hume Highway traffic continues to meander down our sleepy rural road at walking pace as it has done since yesterday afternoon… why on earth hasn’t anyone put up detour signs on the highway to send them up the GV Highway?

New new new

Ahhhhhhhh

The Mavericks' version of Blue Moon

First urban sketch in a long while at Shepparton East General Store! I pass this little shop on the way into town once a week or so.

And not to overload us too much here are some smaller pieces
