I like testing out different views of familiar spaces...

the packing saga begins...

PASSING THOUGHT: Finally, the packing saga has begun. First pick-up for storage will be 5th January 2022. Strangely, rather than fearing this long packing road, I am somewhat relieved; relieved that this new journey is really happening at last. Bring on April. pic.twitter.com/POp6C8bofU

heat hustle ahead...

Amid the pre-Christmas bustle, it looks as if we will also enjoy a heat hustle in Australia...
Fun times ahead...
(And today, in my Dromana world, the temperature has now risen, at 1:00pm, to 33°C.) https://t.co/FHhFx5h0c3

18-year-old me and now...

Extremely shy, anxious, romantic 18-year-old dreamer me would be utterly shocked. So many major life tragedies to survive and still be resilient. I have toughened up and ditched the shyness. But romantic, anxious me still lingers just beneath the surface.
