On Sunday, MrMM (my photography assistant) and I went into the city to Brisbane’s Roma Street Parklands so that I could wander around taking photographs. I need heaps and heaps of images so that hopefully I can find six (6) brilliant ones amongst them to submit for my […]
What a great weekend I just had! On Saturday I met a friend for brunch at Café Bullfrog at Manly. It’s Brisbane’s only over water cafe out along William Gunn Jetty alongside Manly Boat Harbour. A Wynnum-Manly Visitor Information Centre will soon be relocating to the space adjacent to Café Bullfrog. […]
I could have called this post “Hydrangeas, Whiplash and Childhood Beds” but that would be getting a bit repetitive and boring as my last post was a mix of words like that. So I went with a more dramatic title which of course will draw millions of people […]

It’s another nature photo today. I spent some time today watering the plants out on and near the front patio and out in the back pergola area. They had been neglected and were showing signs of distress (oops!). You know when you have a lot of rainy weather […]
On Sunday the MinsMash tribe headed over to Mum and Dad’s house, my childhood home. To my kids, Mum and Dad are known as Granny and Granddad. We went for lunch to celebrate my Dad’s 82nd birthday which was on Thursday 1 November. Two of my sisters were […]
I had an impromptu outing to Hawkins Nursery today! It was a beautiful day here in Brisbane and I felt the need to spend some time outdoors. I have a very neglected potted herb garden that needs some attention – urgently! So, I decided to go to Hawkins […]
