There was an animal stampede, last Friday. While not the hottest day, it was more than warm enough for me, but I wanted to see this event, that morning. The animals are made of papier mache and have been on a world tour and are...

This is one of the views from the small bedroom in the new place, the loft or penthouse if you will. They are brand new and the views are amazing on the top floor. I love it so far. It is hard to believe we have this place as they...

This quaint little building is touted as the smallest bank in Australia. It’s certainly very small and was first opened in the 1930s as a branch of the Bank of New South Wales, which incidentally is where Vince started his working...

Judy Evans @Ronrybs Good idea to check with the Embassy. I guess you'd have to convert your money again now too. Is that correct? For some reason, I'm reminded of going to a tourist bureau type place in that area. The guy spoke perfect English but at the rate of knots!...

Another feel-good Western Australian story involves a lady from Esperance where we once lived. Sandie Gillard has been caring for wildlife for over 70 years but in a freak accident in 2020, she fell from a two-storey balcony,...

Judy Evans @Ronrybs Mum often told me about going out to feed one magpie and a dozen more would fly in.

I wrote about the wildlife carer who fell from a balcony and was awakened by her pet magpie gently tapping on her forehead. It was interesting that in the middle of the article, there was a short paragraph saying that such...

Judy Evans @Ronrybs True - and they're pretty good with their headlines sometimes too. I pattern some of mine on them!

The image shows a mural on the end of a building in Bencubbin. This town states it’s on the boundary between cropping country and station lands. However it appears to be dying although there is still a police station there. The...

We got up late this morning, mid-morning and the temperature was already 90F! I made my coffee and sat down at my computer. I looked at the weather forecast to see a high of 99F for today! Wow! I had planned on going to the...

MeMoneyAndLove @Ronrybs Oh got it now. But there are a few events and festivities that are new to each other's cultures. And as we talk like this, we get to know each other more.

I am trying out the Macro setting on the camera on my phone. Not at all sure if so am doing it correctly but surely I will get it right sooner rather than later. I found a new on one of my Raspberry bushes and sadly I think it...

What an absolute gem of a bargain I got when I bought this twenty four cans pack of Coke Zero at the petrol station. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them price - too good to be true I thought. But right enough, Old...

I'm almost 60. Married from 1993-2006, aside from about six years of living with a boyfriend, I have been single since. I don't dislike that, but sometimes I find myself dreaming like I did during my teen years. I saw myself in...

Judy Evans @Ronrybs We were so ignorant/naive when we took our motor-home to France. We had no idea what to expect but there were parks all over the place. Is there a cycling club/association the might have information? And the Tour de France is on at the moment....

Judy Evans @Ronrybs Many pubs here, especially in country areas, have died a slow death, mostly due to more awareness of the dangers of drink driving.

As I’ve mentioned before, my partner gave up alcohol quite a while ago – it must be 5 or 6 years ago already. He tried for a month, and although he used to be quite a keen drinker before, he said he didn’t miss it and was quite...

Fleur @Ronrybs Yes I subscribe to the idea of moderation too. I don't understand why it's necessary to go from possibly too much to absolutely none at all!

DE @Ronrybs Oh, I see... In that case, I'd buy some cornmeal and just keep it in an airtight container until I used it.
