old Nimrod Theatre...

Incredible, pointy building, old stable, followed by a taxi garage + a gymnasium before John Bell converted it. It had double coach-house doors opening into a brick-paved foyer+a stairway leading to a triangular loft, the upstairs theatre for 140 people. https://t.co/e6dDDo0LZa https://t.co/IUP6JQXTF2

a touch of candlelight...

a touch of candlelight
on grey days
healing lotion for
dry thoughts and
withered heartstrings #tanka pic.twitter.com/aZTW8IzqZg

Melbourne's crazy weather...

Lightning's hanging around the Mornington Peninsula right now...Sharp and bright cracks at times...
Not to be outdone, thunder adds some rumbles to the percussion.
I've ducted heating on+a candle glowing for comfort...or maybe practicality in case power's lost...
Where's summer?

Hope our dear little quokka (short-tailed rock wallaby) doesn't feel that this may be some distant cousin...
The little quokka is no puppet to anyone... https://t.co/MYppCbsFrk pic.twitter.com/1Z3MF46PVo

at holiday time...

PASSING THOUGHT:
At holiday time,
I seem to seek a splinter or two of Emily Dickenson...
quite content to drift from thought to feeling...
I see worlds through the eyes of other travellers...
I explore random ideas...
I feel little compulsion to join crowds...

holidays...

holidays
offbeat worlds where
strict sleep and food
landscapes
thaw #tanka

streams of light...

streams of light
may be here
may be there but
electrified
barbs

wintry wind's stealthy coup...

wintry wind's
stealthy coup
lady summer feels
assaulted

what summer?...

Nearly midday,
and our peninsula summer temperature
is a mere 15 degrees
with a cool wind blowing
and a few blinks of sun... https://t.co/mUeWDryHKF
