This time of year.

Mutterings continued.

Apart from the occasional cool days and even cooler nights we get, possibly the only good thing about this time of year is the blooming of Jacarandas. Driving home yesterday through the older suburbs of Bentley, Victoria Park and Como, there were lots of lovely lavender and green blobs everywhere you looked. On the down side, Jacarandas are filthy buggers and drop their flowers which turn to mush. Those flowers which don't fall turn into hard berries which fall on your car if you happened to be parked under the tree.

They look nice, but.


I support The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus and you should too.

Nothing exciting in the letterbox today - just some spam from a bank begging me to have one of their credit cards and some bumff from Qantas explaining why my frequent flyer points won't get me as far as they used to.
