Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Nice to celebrate with you all 💋

I thought I should stop posting old 80s Australian vox pops. So here's a different video I seem to never tire of. Don't worry about the animation at the start it isn't a racist conspiracy video, it's an Australian sketch comedy show made by comedian Nazeem Hussian youtu.be/_cUWT6c0lcc

Fits my day unfortunately

Love-love A Heated Rivalry one-shot set at the Australian Open. Happy Birthday @miss-minnelli.bsky.social 🎈🎈 🎈 I hope you like tennis. But if not, I know you like Shane and Ilya ❤️ #fanfic #heatedrivalry archiveofourown.org/works/78695771

All I Ever Wanted Chapter 12/12 - Last ever chapter 😢 This chapter: Gazza has gone to Sydney for a change of scene. Nick wants to visit him so Charlie and Nick drive up together. Welcome to your hopeful ending 😊 #fanfic #Heartstopper #Heartsky archiveofourown.org/works/693018...

A bubbling brook on a mild summer evening. If you're wondering what you're looking at, there are some overhanging willow branches and some kind of water plant under the water. Sound is calming. #creek #water #summer

Current mood

No chapter this week, sorry but it is with betas now - will be ready next Friday/Saturday I do have two little 1980s Australia videos for you though Tania Lacey asks people if they're having a summer romance www.instagram.com/reel/DSybTBD... www.instagram.com/reel/DTBt1dI...

We Don't Pull The Strings Rating: E Phil goes to a club to see a drag show, he's not looking to meet anyone One shot from the All I Ever Wanted universe In honour of @1968Andy #fanfic #heartstopper archiveofourown.org/works/76694301

All I Ever Wanted Chapter 11/12 Charlie goes to watch Nick play footy. They return to St Kilda again and go to an ACTUP kiss-in protest in the Bourke Street Mall. Some stuff happens in this chapter, so check the tags. #Heartstopper #fanfic archiveofourown.org/works/693018...

I totally dropped the ball with the New Zealand pics but here is a close up of a southern beech

No new chapter of All I Ever Wanted today. Next chapter should be ready in a week. In this clip from 1989, young people are asked about condoms and some of them say they shouldn't be available to under 16s. Hopefully these views have changed since then www.instagram.com/reel/DSZH3Q-...

Southern beech forest near Queenstown. Southern beeches are a different group to those found in the northern hemisphere and the presence of these species in Australia, New Zealand and South America as well as fossils in Antarctica proved that these landmasses were all joined in the past

Today's photo is also from the boat ride. A place where people get off and have lunch, old house with a nice garden that is part of a sheep farm. The water really was this colour #NewZealand

Today's New Zealand photo, taken from the boat on Lake Whakatipu near Queenstown

So I'm back but my plan is to post a photo of New Zealand every day to try and keep the holiday alive in my mind for as long as I can #queenstown #newzealand

All I Ever Wanted Chapter 10/12 Charlie goes to the Fringe Parade in Brunswick Street and checks out Nick's new place in Fitzroy archiveofourown.org/works/693018... #Heartsky #Heartstopper #fanfic #waitersrace #fringe #1988 #Melbourne

Spot by a creek near Queenstown

The Earnslaw paddle steamer, Queenstown, New Zealand. Took a rather sedate trip across the lake. Evening light on the mountains

So many pics in New Zealand but I'll start with this penguin who was hanging about at the end of a beach on his own. I think it's a Blue Penguin not that different to the kind we get in Australia

No new chapter today so it's time for vox pop from 1989. Another one about whether girls should ask boys out, a controversial question at the time www.instagram.com/reel/DRnwVVf...

All I Ever Wanted is updated Rating E 49,433 words Chapter 9/12: Charlie and Michael go to a party in an old mansion archiveofourown.org/works/693018... #Heartstopper #fanfic #heartsky

No new chapter this week but this 1987 vox pop is a beauty. The question is 'How much do you pay for a haircut'. The hairstyles are amazing. Those curls! My guess is it's shot in Sydney, what do you reckon? www.instagram.com/reel/DRGR_vv...

Happy birthday #Heartsky! What a great idea this was. So happy to be a part of it. Thanks to @raanne.bsky.social and @psyoperator.bsky.social for setting it up and everyone for creating the warm vibe where everyone can share their joyous and also not so joyous moments and believe in romance 💖

More music last night. Shouse an Australian duo who make 'ecstatic house' music, performing with a live choir and saxophone player. Lot of love in the air 💖

All I Ever Wanted Chapter 8 is up, so now we're 2/3rd posted (and only two more chapters to write) Charlie invites Nick over. They talk and listen to some music. Tori tells Charlie something he didn't know. archiveofourown.org/works/693018...

Four of my favourite WIPs updated on the same day

A patch of wild nasturtiums

Oh my god Frog this is meant to be children's literature. Don't think I read this one as a kid

Wildflowers from last weekend

No new chapter this week! A vox pop in case you are missing the AIEW kids from 1990. Tania Lacey asks 'Do you have a curfew?' and flirts with a cop? Enjoy this crazy Blue Light Disco - when the police used to put on discos in halls to 'keep the kids out of trouble' www.instagram.com/p/DJ_mk1HOmoH/

Not the gymnast ones!

More beach stuff to hopefully cheer you guys up and not just make you jealous ❤️ Stormy weather today but the waves are still small #oceansky #seasky #surfsky #beachsky

Rainy day at the beach today. Perfect for posting photos I took on Saturday when it was perfect and the water was unusually still

Chapter 7 'Shift' of my fic 'All I ever wanted' is up. Here's an ad for The Sugarcubes live, from around the time that this chapter is set from one of the free street press papers. Found on the @gigsyoumissed.bsky.social feed #Heartstopper #Fanfic #Heartsky archiveofourown.org/works/693018...

Beautiful spring weather had to take photos of these roses in different front gardens when I walked down the street #flowersky

Happy Heartstopper anniversary to me and any other Agatha All Along to Heartstopper pipeline people. Celebrating my one year Heartstopper anniversary today (30th) when the last episode of Agatha was aired #Heartsky #AgathaAllAlong

Went to see New York jazz musician Melanie Charles last night. Had never heard of her but she was great #melaniecharles #jazz #MelbourneJazzFestival

No new chapter for All I Ever Wanted this week. So a little hello from these 80's kids. What they used to call a 'vox pop'. The question is 'Do you think you're attractive?' Where was it shot? Maybe Sydney or Brisbane? www.instagram.com/reel/DP2XNbp...

I watched the film Sebastian last night to see what all the fuss was about Ruaridh Mollica. His acting was really good and I liked the film. It's arty and slow moving, not upsetting or nearly as sad and dark as All Of Us Strangers which left me devastated (/pos) #heartsky youtu.be/iIvEk3_tJdo?...

Chapter 6 of my fic All I Ever Wanted is up So excited for people to read this new chapter. It's kind of my favourite one. Here's a photo I didn't put on ao3 of the club they go to 😊 #Heartstopper #fanfic #heartsky archiveofourown.org/works/693018...

Bee @alouisewrites.bsky.social gifted me and Dxeej @satiacja.bsky.social this #fanfic The Pleasure Specialist Charlie’s medication works wonders for his mental health—less so for his sex drive. Elle sends him to a pleasure specialist named Nick #heartsky archiveofourown.org/works/72250576

No new chapter of All I Ever Wanted today but there will be one next week at this time If you read the last chapter want to see the movie My Beautiful Laundrette now, this insta post mentions which streaming services it's on in different countries www.instagram.com/reel/DOxEBDM...

Mum's colourful table from last night. She got inspired by the spring flowers in her garden and Hetti Mckinnon recipes

Congrats! I'm in awe of how many great fics you write, and they're all so different 😍

This is so funny I love new the dinner party chapter

Love this uni AU can't wait for more chapters ❤️

Chapter 5 of my fic 'All I Ever Wanted' is up The gang go to the cinema to see 'My Beautiful Laundrette'. Charlie does work experience at a musical instrument shop. Isaac and Charlie have lunch at Pelligrinis. We hear about Nick. #heartsky #fanfic #Heartstopper archiveofourown.org/works/693018...

A little video if you want to hear the surf and watch the waves roll in #heartsky

It turns out staying high up in the air over the sea suits me. Hoping these pics will carry the tropical sea breeze to #heartsky people getting chilly and catching colds
