the first day of Autumn, dogs allowed back on the beach anytime and USA bombing Iran.

Friday before last, Georgia and I went to see a dramatisation of Under Milk Wood.

There was a huge cast and it was a noble and enjoyable event, but hard to hear and understand, so now I'll have to read the poem.  Or get Richard Burton to read it as Cousin David did when we visited Laugharne in 2013

This is https://www.streeteatsfranko.com.au/ .  Great fun and lots of food choices.  We circled, of course, to checkout everything on offer.  I had a delicious Tasmanian dish of pork and scallops, Georgia had an Indonesian martabak.  Very happy we were.

Jill PD has demonstrated some of the artistic flair of the Mars family, creating this statement in pink.

Not to be outdone, I have crafted a piece that speaks to Jill's love of the beach - a thwacker and a floaty kong.

And now a bandicoot has joined the ranks of plovers and butcherbirds who come to drink from the well.
