The Wednesday Wotsit - guess

What do you think this is?

In the Pink

Up close and personal with a Galah (Eolophus roseicapilla).

Mellow Yellow Monday #79

Could this be the new Yanchep Police Station?

Talking 'bout Books & Shadow Shot Sunday #114

Strange book by Mary Wesley, 'Jumping the Queue' our book club choice. I didn't really like any of the characters. Black humour written in 1983. 'The House by the Thames', history of Bankside, interesting so far. '1788' The Brutal Truth of the First Fleet' by David Hill, waiting to read as is 'Odd One Out' by Monica McInerney. Not very interesting shadows here - many more at Shadow Shot Sunday.

Kermit was right "It isn't easy being green"

lettuce, cabbage and spinach are doing well.
Rain will come next week!

Family History

This is an image from ancestry.com

Only just discovered on Monday - Hampstead New End Hospital Register of Deaths with Abraham H Beck last on the page - died of Myocardial Degeneration & Cardiac failure on 27th May 1928 age 70. Another brick wall falling down.

Yesterday at the Library 9 people turned up to do some research, pity there are only 3 computers!

New (to me) 'The Nosey Genealogist' website here

The Wednesday Wotsit - strange view!

Another great day at Yanchep.

Free tree for the verge

Wanneroo council put in this native tea tree (I hope it is a Broad Leaf Paperbark - Melaleuca quinquinervia).

The Wednesday Wotsit

Painted steps between Perth Alexander Library, Art Gallery and PICA. This was all about bits of Skylab falling on Western Australia.

On another note has anyone ever looked at Poke my Birthday or Name? click here. I love my barcode!

Thanks to everyone who posted a comment on yesterdays post. It is a site that is free for a month, so I will see what happens.

New Web Site

Would like to know what you all think but most importantly does it work.

Please click here Yanchep Postcards

How do I now get people to the site, could it work for my digital art or should I join Etsy, Zazzle or Red Bubble? Your comments would be much appreciated.

Plotting for a Food Garden week 39

Same old magic square, lettuce, mixed green stuff etc in spite of the cold weather
(not cold compared to some other countries!).

This patch may get a bit more sun now the trees have been cut back. Potatoes & spinach just showing. Will sow more seeds next week.
I spent yesterday at Wanneroo setting up my art space. Today I raked up small branches left behind from the tree loppin & then sat in the sun warming up (warmer outside than in!).
