Here are some pics from Lighting The Sound last night. The storm stormed off and it was a nice night after all.

Went for an evening walk in my dodgy childhood neighbourhood.

Ute roars round the corner. Male arm hanging out window. Oh here we go, I think. As a petite Eurasian woman I've had my share of car heckling, wolf whistling and street harassment, which still happens in my 40s.

He leans out. The car is decked with tinsel. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" he shouts. I wave to his rear view mirror.

And there we go, just lost #Whamageddon in the Albany oncology ward. Mum's chemo nurses are angels in scrubs so no hard feelings on their music choices. It was a good run, making it to Christmas Eve Eve

So my Mum's obsessed with TV game shows and ooh you bet I got mad when the host mispronounced Albany

(Edit: it was that bloody Tipping Point show)

This morning we saw two Quenda in the grassy plants around the water tank. These are native marsupials of Western Australia.

Yesterday I got a picture of a spotted skink on Mount Clarence.
