Do you have worms?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Sep

We stayed with friends on the weekend and I saw something in the garden that I immediately wanted. There were two plastic tubes sunk in the garden with lids and they were ‘worm farms’ of a sort. Household waste is put into the...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Sep

Today is the Grand Final of the Australian Rules Football season. Western Australia now has two teams – the West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Dockers. The Dockers haven’t been in the competition very long compared to some of the...

Are you 'of good character'?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Sep

Recent legislation is about to ban the use of good character references when a person is brought before the courts for certain offences. The use of such references often resulted in a reduced sentence for convicted persons. A...

Have you heard of Bindi Raye?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Sep

Bindi Raye has over 80.000 followers on Instagram. Ostensibly, she’s a young, attractive fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) mining worker. When on-site, he posts about the wonders of the outback and the quality of the food in the mess-hall....

Dodgy cameras in EV vehicles

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Sep

The photo shows a classic car which has nothing to do with the discussion apart from being a vehicle. A while back I read that both China and the USA had introduced restrictions on EV (electric) vehicles being within a certain...

My first lemon drizzle cake

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Sep

I’ve had quite a busy day by my standards. I had a doctor’s appointment earlier in the day but had a load of washing in while I was gone. I get an injection twice a year which is supposed to help with osteoporosis. I had to pick...

At last I've planted these tiers

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Sep

Quite some time ago, maybe even a year or two, I bought the plant pot arrangement that you can see in the photo. I think I wrote about it at the time. I’ve only just got around to putting plants in them. I’ve alternated white and...

Cybersecurity and EV vehicles

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Sep

The photo has nothing to do with the discussion but is another of our beautiful wildflowers. A news item that caught my attention today was regarding how easy it is for hackers to infiltrate the Chinese EV vehicles. You can read...

A bloomin' good year for Sturt's desert pea

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Sep

It’s spring in Australia and that means wildflower season. The flowers this year are spectacular with lots of tourists touring the country to ogle and marvel at Nature’s bounty. The stunning Sturt (desert) pea (Swainsona formosa)...

Music in the garden

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Sep

My husband, Vince, belongs to a couple of Facebook photgraphic sites. One puts up a weekly challenge and this week’s was anything to do with music. The photo shows his entry for this week, depicting our son’s 1/8 size violin and a...

Taking clothes to the outback

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Sep

Donnybrook, Western Australia, where we once lived had the two op shops/thrift stores. One was run by the Red Cross. It was always neat, tidy and well-run by volunteers. The other one filled the old railway goods sheds and was a...

Goats like their Weet-Bix too

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Sep

My nephew and his goats have provided a lot of posts for me and here’s another one. I’ve also written from time to time about eating cereal for breakfast. Weet-Bix and Vita-Brits are both ‘biscuits’ made from wheat. Weetabix is, I...

A pretty chicken/chook

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Sep

The photo shows a buff Orpington chook (chicken if you’re American!). There are also bantam Orpingtons which are very cute. I’ve seen many more of the bantam Orpingtons so the size of this hen surprised me. She was quite big....

Don't let the goats in - or out!

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Sep

I have always enjoyed seeing funny signs and here is another one. It’s on the gate leading to my nephew’s backyard. He has a great many goats but his fences and yards are all goat-proof and there is not much chance of any of his...

Double trouble

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Sep

Yesterday we went looking for wildflowers at Whiteman Park. We saw very few but that’s okay. We’ll have plenty more opportunities. I took this photo of two introduced plants which have created a lot of headaches throughout much...

A little quail family

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Sep

We visited my sister yesterday and I was very tempted to walk off with this cute quail family. When we were young and riding our horses on the farm, quails might suddenly take off from in front of our ponies, causing them to shy...

All wired up

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Sep

Yesterday we went to visit my sister but on the way we called into Whiteman Park. This large public area has an amazing motor museum, numerous playgrounds, dog parks, barbecue areas and some small shops. I liked this lady who was...

One flower or a great many?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Sep

I have to show you another wildflower which looks like a pretty simple daisy but, if you look closely, it is so much more. There is a base of petals although their botanical name might be sepals or something else. The centre...

An easier jigsaw this time

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 13 Sep

Here is the latest jigsaw. Only 500 pieces this time and while it might look complicated it wasn’t too hard to do. The colours were pretty distinct – all the grey woodwork at the bottom, the blue of the lake was a different blue...

A simple yet complex West Australian wildflower

Judy Evans @JudyEv (389234) • Rockingham, Australia 13 Sep

When Vin and I were taking photos at horse endurance rides, we processed the photos through a programme called Lightroom. Some of you may be familiar with it. Vince still processes all his photos in this way but sometimes I just...
