Another jigsaw done and dusted

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 8h

The photo shows the 1,000-piece jigsaw that I finished last night. Although there were a lot of pieces, it was a bit easier than some because of the distinct sections. I started with the central hessian heart before going on to...

Headlight wipers to die for!

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Sep

Isn’t this just the dinkiest headlamp/light wiper you’ve ever seen? Can you see it? It’s like a little toothbrush. I can’t remember seeing wipers on any other cars. This is a Rolls Royce which of course has a lot of special...

Don't yell at me, says the dog

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Sep

I read a good news story this morning about farmers in our south-west (of Western Australia) and how they treasure their old working dogs. Some are arthritic, some are deaf but they still turn up each morning, anxious and eager to...

Have you heard of mosaic crochet?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Sep

The photo shows the creative work of another of our retirement village residents. These pieces are all crocheted but it’s not like any crochet I’ve seen. She calls it ‘mosaic crochet’ and says she learnt it from YouTube tutorials....

Just take the top off the butter

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Sep

Back in 1998, we stayed several nights in a hotel in Paddington, London. Our niece had inspected several hotels and said this one at least had clean sheets. This seemed a bit surprising to us but once we were booked in we had a...

We had a small visitor this morning

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Sep

This morning, I went out the door into the retirement village area and was met by this little dog. She was very sweet if a bit shy so we invited her in. She wasn’t very keen about having her photo taken but Vince was able to take...

Clever people in our village

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Sep

In the clubhouse at our retirement village, there is a small alcove which hasn’t been used for anything much. The area is being used at the moment to show-case the work of some of the talented people that we have in the village....

My latest purchase

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Sep

The photo shows my latest purchase. It’s a tote bag. I’m a sucker for anything ‘horsey’ but don’t often succumb nowadays. However, I couldn’t resist this. It's actually my Mother's Day gift after I gave Vince a great big hint. It...

I discovered we have brown sauce in Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Sep

A few weeks ago, there are a number of comments on a discussion which mentioned ‘brown sauce’. I said I’d never heard of it but not long after that, I actually saw it in a café and took a photo. I just came across the photo...

I have a new T-shirt

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Sep

I’ve been trying to be more active lately and am now going to line-dancing at the clubhouse each week. It’s free and a friendly group of fellow villagers. I’ve only been a few times but have enjoyed it. One of the participants...

Emotional support for a kitten

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Sep

I donate to Animal Care Egypt (ACE) from time to time. Our niece was married in Luxor in 1998 and we visited the veterinary hospital while we were there. People were very poor and the animals were in terrible condition, all skin...

The latest jigsaw

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 31 Aug

The photo shows the latest jigsaw that I completed a day or two ago. It was 1,000 pieces and lent to me by my sister. It was an interesting one to do with sections of different colours making it a bit easier than some. It’s now...

Manosphere, looksmaxxing, bone-smashing - have you heard of these?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (387933) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Aug

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion. So many new terms are creeping into everyday use and many of them are totally foreign to me. One of these is ‘manosphere’ which relates to websites, blogs and online forums which...

Blue Poles is coming to Western Australia

Back in 1973, the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) purchased a painting by American Jackson Pollock entitled ‘Blue Poles’ (also known as No. 11, 1952). This was very controversial at the time as it cost $1.3 million. Fifty...
