A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

The donut van’s back - it’s officially “change of season” day.

Yikes, I went to the specialist doc hopefully to get the answer but now there’s loads more questions.

If you've ever observed a flock of chooks/chickens in a mob fleeing hysterically from something that actually isn't there, then you'll understand the recent behaviour of the ABC, Creative Australia et al. Jumping at shadows, the lot of them. My latest for The Shot 🙏🏽 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Just got the wine bottle out of the fridge to put milk in my coffee.

Turning right to head west - way out west. Bloody sick of this #roadie now.

My turn to drive again…better find my alertness. #roadie

Remember all those platitudes after the child abuse Royal Commission about how we as a society were going to treat victim-survivors of institutional abuse better? Read Rick Morton in The Saturday Paper today. I shake my head in utter disbelief. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...

Back in the home state south of the border, 3 more hours to go.. #roadie

Still on the #roadie, heading home now tho’. Gonna be a scorcher!

This statue of Rosa Parks sits on the corner of the downtown transit station, Eugene, Oregon. There is almost always a fresh flower or two in her hands, placed by unknown friends. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekHforHeroes

Yikes Canberra, I forgot your drinking water tasted like pool water.

Artwork hotel/motel number 4 #roadie

We’re in the 4th hotel or motel of the great #roadie. There is an artwork on the wall, I haven’t photographed it yet, and I won’t be doing that now. MrT’s a grumpy old bastard & I dare not disturb him, so I’ll take a pic in the morn.

Tightarse MrT drove through the guts of Sydney from north to south coz he didn’t want to pay the tolls. #roadie

Double shot coffee before heading south. 4 hour trip today. #roadie

Some days are tough and today has been one of them.

Thinking of the people of the towns of Mortlake, Edenhope, Swan Hill, Apollo Bay, Warrnambool, Inglewood, Ballarat and others. Of that grim map of the western districts of Victoria and all of the children who lived in those towns who were let down. There are hundreds and that is a national shame.

There’s a beach across the road but I’ve spent most of the day in bed. Right, get up, get out, get going. #roadie

I always hope those fuckers suffered. I always feel relieved when they die. And I always end up hiding under the doona for a while.

Staying put by the sea, beach walks and books, no #roadie today.

I think the peaceful sound of ocean waves crashing onto the shore is going to keep me awake tonight. #roadie

Artwork hotel/motel number 3. #roadie

Oh well.

Short 2hour drive today. #roadie

Hotel number 2 allowed a late checkout so I don’t have to wait in the foyer for MrT. #roadie

Mucking about with oil pastels, much more comfortable with paint as the crayons can only be built up so far before become muddy. Its pretty bad but its been a long while and nice to be drawing

Libraries have always been about making information accessible. My library service provides tech help and support for devices and phones as well as one on one sessions for helping fill in forms

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... I'm astounded by some of the comments I've read on this story. Libraries have been building communities for ever. It's not about library staff filling in forms for people

MrT’s got appointments in the morning. I guess I’ll just lounge around drinking cups of tea while I wait. #roadie

All’s quiet at the club, the members’ jackpot didn’t go off. #roadie

Off to the club. #roadie

Artwork - hotel/motel number 2. #roadie

Motel number two is a hotel near a one of *those clubs, with a squillion flashing lights, pokie machines & noisy televisions everywhere.

Still in the car, a bit sick of it, starting to misbehave, MrT’s telling me to shut up. #roadie

Pee stop where the dog sits on the tuckerbox. #roadie

Zooming up the highway for a 6 hour trip on today’s #roadie MrT’s dreading the thought of my car-concert which is scheduled to start after a coffee stop.

Just as well I’m already awake - noisy motel kids are NOISY. #roadie

$8 for a glass of red, and a nice one it is too, at this country pub. Like bowlo club prices - gotta love it! #roadie

Ooooops I forgot I’m supposed to be fighting the flab in order to #FitTheFrock. But hell no, there’s no flab battles when one’s on a #roadie, surely!

Artwork - country motel number 1. #roadie

They’ve got chilled, ready-rolled long necks wrapped in newspaper in the fridge in this country pub. Reminds me of my ol’ man, decades ago. #roadie

There’s a young woman here in the pub at the next table who’s speaking very loudly. I can’t understand her & asked MrT what language it was. “Strine, Stayan, pure country Strine!”, he said. #roadie

Not much on the menu for a vego in this country pub. #roadie

I luv the sound of kids playing but by jingoes this group is noisy. I might wander next door to the pub. #roadie

Motel number one, in a tinpot town off the highway. The whole town IS the motel, next to the pub, next to the CFA. Noisy tho’ with all 8 rooms occupied and kids joyfully splashing about in the pool. #roadie

Will be staying in 5 different places on a 7 day #roadie.

Practising walking in high heels. Jaysus, you should see me - like a baby giraffe learning to walk. #NotAFrockAndHighHeelsGal
