A chilly Canberra sunday morning: grandson is still asleep, grand-dog is on my bed, and I have a cup of tea and a mastodon home feed to read before I contemplate getting up. I love Sundays!

Whoever said Canberra was dull must have missed the evil empire of the Carillon, the killer koala straddling Telstra Tower and the vampire of Canberra’s bus/bomb shelters.

Public holiday today but only in NSW/ACT and WA. Although I'm in Canberra I still had a few commitments. Managed to squeeze in a coffee walk with husband between web work and a zoom meeting. Now to watch a couple more episodes of The Pitt season 2 before bed.

We saw this cute pale pink station wagon parked in Erindale today. I've never seen a car in quite that shade of pink before. 🩷

I found a shady spot in the backyard to have breakfast and watch the birds. I daresay it'll be too hot to venture out soon. The washing machine is humming along in the background.

The ibis are steadily encroaching further into suburbia. They moved into the adjacent suburb a couple of years ago, today they are in mine. I'm now awaiting the day I come out to find one sitting on the bird feeder awaiting breakfast!

Off to the Canberra Comedy Festival Gala tonight - it's one of my favourite events of the year. I get to see some of the comedians really like, as well as some others I've not seen before. I don't go to quite as many festival shows these days but the gala is a must - and it's always a blast. We'll stop in at Tiger Lane for an early feed beforehand.
