There’s no words today. Just a beautiful sunrise.
Day 144 – Private Bench
It rained most of the day today. It’s really windy and there’s dark storm clouds everywhere. There’s going to be another storm tonight, but right now it’s lovely down here at the river. There’s lots of ducks. There’s this duck, I think it’s nesting, sitting on a nest in the middle of the ‘cup’ of […]
Day 143 – Private Bench
I was having a really tough day. Then as soon as we both came outside, it feels different. It feels lighter, even though the sky is grey.
Day 142 – Northern Bench
It’s very windy today, stormy. Another storm is coming tonight. There was one last night. The river is up today. There’s also a big group of red rumped parrots here. In the photo, there’s four of them flying away, if you look very closely. Two of them are females, which can be harder to spot. […]
Day 141 – Northern Bench
Well, the Bench isn’t very relaxing today. There’s a couple of dogs that are misbehaving. They’re fighting and biting and the owners are shouting at them. It’s set all the local dogs off that are in their backyards. But it’s always nice to get outside I suppose.
Day 140 – Tennis Court Bench
The masked lapwings next to the tennis court have had babies. There’s fluffy little chicks running around. They can be really noisy if anything disturbs them. It’s been an interesting few days for me. I haven’t been feeling good physically. And I’m scared of where this might end up. I’ve been talking to my body […]
Day 139 – Oval Bench
There’s some frogs here in a drainage ditch at the side of the oval. It’s already really cold, crisp and cold. I can also hear the magpies warbling as they settle down in the trees for the night. Magpies just have the sweetest sound.
Day 138 – Tennis Court Bench
I’m at the tennis courts. I have never sat on this Bench before. I’ve been here before to play tennis. But I’ve never taken the time to sit down and look around. I think that’s so often what we do in life. We’re in too much of a hurry trying to do something or get […]
Day 137 – Oval Bench
Today, I felt really anxious, the kind of anxiousness that makes me feel sick in my stomach. It robs all joy. I came out here for a walk and to sit and watch the sunset. The magpies are warbling all around me and I took this photo of one sitting on a pole. I won’t […]
Day 136 – Northern Bench
A big group of corellas just flew over me. They’re so loud! They are screeching and swooping their way up the river. My son just built these beautiful little structures at the water’s edge. I told him it reminded me of those little cabins on the water in the Maldives or somewhere. Admittedly though, it’s […]
