Trip down memory lane to Point Peron near Rockingham, WA. Five people in an Austin A30 on what felt like a looong road trip, for the annual family holiday to a beach shack.

Start of a very hot day in Perth. Morning bathing rituals in my back garden for these chirpy visitors. A no cat zone.

I don’t mind having a colonoscopy now. The first ever one was a bit of an urgent situation after experiencing worrying symptoms on a long holiday in the UK. Had to get the first available appointment on my return, at the hospital I worked in. Trouble was the consultant who did it turned out...

A few medium sized plastic zip lock bags... I can always find a use for them.

I don’t have much luck when I buy expensive wool products ..Creswick Mills and NZ possum and wool products and a beautiful rug from Irish Enniskillen Mills I have an ongoing Silverfish problem despite trying sprays, cedar coathangers, natural baits in the bedroom closets and study..they also...

If you are in Tassie Mrs.dr.ron then perhaps a trip out to Smitten Merino shop at 47 Sandy Bay Road, Hobart - to check out their superfine merino products.

Great detail in Ozduck’s suggestions. Seeing as you are down In Freo tomorrow ! .. the new kids on the block are at opposite ends of South Terrace. Next to the Freo Markets is The Old Synagogue..just opened and always pumping when I have walked past. Several areas to eat and drink within...

I put up the contact details for the Wildflower Society of WA in the other post, might be able to assist you with tracking down the orchids. Dr Stephen Hopper ( ex Kings Park and Kew Gardens) lives down Albany way now. I know the towns of Albany and Busselton both have their Wildflower shows...

Many of the owners of the airbnb places I have stayed in have charged an extra cleaning fee as well as the nightly rate and the slice that Airbnb take. The amounts charged are variable between listings and I guess reflect if they employ a commercial cleaner to come in, or the hosts live on the...

Thanks JohnM ....Great photos and a very interesting TR.. by you and previously Michael Portillo.

I used my last pay packet before leaving work (no maternity leave then) to pay for a nappy washing service. Grateful for this for first 3 months, as a breast feeding, sleep deprived, first time mum without any family support nearby it was an invaluable time saver.

Nearly Perfect ..car park, drizzle, lorries, railway tracks and overhead power lines ..just missing garbage bins..Must Try harder @TonyHancock 😀

I think it is understandable given the situation that the young university student Ally K, tweeted about the evacuation this morning and ended her tweetnwith the word “Terrifying”. Maybe she could have used another word. I guess she was one of the passengers that were directed to one of the 3...

thanks for the feedback.... So now I can tell hubby that several AFF members say they agree with me. That we should have installed those solar panels years ago - when I said ! 😀

I wanted to get solar panels quite a few years ago but hubby vetoed the idea. Now he says that as we will probably be downsizing within the next 5 years, the expense of installing panels would not be worth it. I was thinking that it still adds value to a home for sale. Any suggestions ?

Looks like a great hotel .. by the way how are those matching family shirts coming along ? Was Mrs Drron able to find a dressmaker ?

Great photos ... a bit of sunshine and blue skies always welcome
