I drink a lot of coffee, that's a fact
I also realise that all the coffee being consumed across the globe does have a negative impact on the environment too - think methane and CO2 into the atmosphere...

Moon street.
The Swedish word for the road-like reflection of the moon on water is mångata. It literally translates to "moon street" and is composed of the words måne (moon) and gata (street or road).
Pronunciation: "Mawng-gah-tah".
Photo taken at Whyalla last April.

Coffee, anyone?
This last week I've spent some time in Northern Thailand with the Hilltribe near Doi Chang and Chiang Rai.
Here's 'Arjun' (teacher) showing me how he roasts his coffee beans that he grows on his sustainable farm.
Slow coffee...

Just read Chapter 14 of Christine's book and I'm HOWLING 🤣
“DIY Disasters & Home Projects Gone Wrong” is a chaotic, charming ode to Bunnings trips, flat-pack rage, and the fine line between Pinterest dreams and plant-based tragedy.

Seriously, if you've ever tried to assemble IKEA furniture with the confidence of a YouTube tutorial and ended up summoning your neighbour with a hammer—this chapter gets you.
Witty, warm, and wildly relatable. I’d read an entire book of this alone. 🛠️🌿📚

Work in progress. While no one could call the corella our prettiest native bird…they are a cheeky, noisy visitor in many Aussie backyards, so they deserve a portrait (in my opinion). ☺️

Does anyone remember a Melbourne restaurant from the late 70's to the early 80's called "Rosso Nero" in Carlton near Lygon Street?
