There’s a couple people fishing over the other side of the river. In the ten minutes I’ve been sitting here, I’ve seen them catch two pretty big, very shiny, slightly golden coloured fish. With all the rain we had a couple days ago, the river has risen, and we can’t cross at the causeway again. […]

Day 312 – Little Pier Bench
It’s a very different Little Pier Bench tonight. New Years Eve. There’s a beautiful sunset happening, and very soon there will be fireworks. We’re going to sit out here on the pier. It’s very crowded on the shore. It’s not as crowded on the pier because it’s windier out here.
Day 307 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
We’ve had so much fun this Christmas. Just eating food and playing games and having lots of laughs. I’ve stepped outside to take a break in the backyard. It’s sunset and the light is so beautiful.
Day 306 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
There’s so many birds around. In a grevillea down the street this morning, Mum and I saw some Musk Lorikeets and Purple Crowned Lorikeets. They are uncommon nomads and they were all flying together in a big flock. It’s pretty exciting when you see two new birds at once. It was a great way to […]
Day 304 – Grandma’s Backyard Bench
I’m out in my mother’s backyard. It’s the most beautiful morning. Mum has her Christmas decorations up. It feels so festive.
Day 231 – Back Deck Bench
I’ve had a busy day, and I’m just taking a minute to sit out here in the sun before I go in to get dinner. I was sitting here and I closed my eyes, and I could hear three main sounds. I could hear a fly buzzing around on the back deck. I can hear […]
Day 218 – Blue Wren Bench
I’m on Blue Wren Bench. It’s a beautiful sunny day. Today’s a bit of a landmark day for me because I’ve decided to put my name, a photo and a bio on this blog. I’ve always been really quite a shy person. I like to keep a low profile on social media in general. I […]
Day 210 – Tennis Court Bench
I think it’s going to rain. My son just hit the ball way up into the air, over the fence, and it almost hit me where I was sitting on the Bench! Now he’s laughing in the background. Edit: I listened to the recording and realised it caught the thump of the ball landing beside […]
Day 200 – Switchback Bench
The cascades are so loud today. I wonder if you’ll be able to hear that in the recording. I’m sitting up on the Bench. The footbridge is completely underwater. I wanted to come up here after seeing how high the water was at Private Bench yesterday. Unfortunately, someone has decided to machete the Bench here. […]
Day 198 – Back Deck Bench
It’s a very blustery spring day. I’m sitting in my backyard. I found a notebook from years ago. I wrote a lot in it during one of those workshops that promises to work through your issues. This notebook contains a history of my life, but only of all the issues, so it’s full of hurts, […]
