Lenore Plassman (@sallypup) recently wrote about the car they hired recently. You just had to push a button and the engine would start. Our new-to-us car is much the same. It is a top-of-the-range Toyota Kakadu (see photo) and we...

Judy Evans @JadePlatypus Yes, ours does that too. They think they are so smart! If we're working round the paddocks we do up the seat belts then get in. That fools it.

Simone @JadePlatypus i see. Maybe it really depends on one’scountry. I live in a place where i can only see trees- plenty of trees in rural areas. That’s why i’m always hungry of the sight of greeneries and lakes and rivers.

It's supposed to be Spring here in Australia. Well, it is, but we are still getting frosts in the morning, and the temperature is still dropping to close to 0°C(32°F) overnight. To me, that is far too cold. Tonight, I will...

" I think I'll make myself a cup of coffee" I say, partly to myself and partly to Mr Platypus. I switch the electric kettle on, then go back to my computer. 20 minutes later, I will say "Thats right, I was going to make a hot...

I must say, I am not a winter weather person. The nights are closing in a bit here in Victoria, Australia. It is 5.45pm as I post this, and it is almost dark. When I head off to work of a morning at 6.30am, it's dark then too....

The other night, I took a picture of my lantern on my balcony. For some reason, the picture makes me feel really relaxed, and I like it. I like sitting on my balcony, either by myself or with others, and chilling, or maybe...

My husband, (I'll call him Mr Platypus, or Mr P for short), has recently joined a rock band again. For many years, in the 70's and 80's he was lead guitarist and vocalist in a band, but life happens, and he gave the gigging away...

Some years ago, after our first trip to south-east Asia, I came back home full of resolve to pare my excesses down a little. To give away half my clothes, to stop being so wasteful, to eat less, to spend less. Basically, to live...

Judy Evans @JadePlatypus That's pretty much it. Depending on the group, we might have them for a house concert here. We're had some great groups although not 'great' as in famous.
