Your place sounds amazing, Temp! I have a smaller 5 acre block down in rainy southern Victoria, Australia. We have some fruit trees and berry canes, with a chunk of regenerating forest too. The visiting wildlife is so great (we don't have the variety you do though) and I love seeing different bird species come in as we plant more native varieties.

I haven't read any Dan Brown, but there's something so comforting about reading a new story you know you will enjoy!

👌🙂🫠

Ah the sweet sounds of koala mating season! The possums at our place take one bite out of each lemon on the tree. But we love the visits too.

Ah, thank you! Guess I need to curate my subscriptions then.

Same here! The mud!!

Who knew flowers could be cute?

Haha, sounds fun though!

For problematic books, Travels With My Aunt by Graham Greene. Absolutely love this book, and the writing is excellent of course, but I think ethnicity is handled in a problematic way, and the ahem inter-generational marriage at the end is just 🤔😬😱.
