About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

The last of Summer


Yesterday I watched the bees buzzing busily around my fast fading basil blooms.

It was hot and sticky, the smell of autumn replacing the overwhelming heat of W.A.'s driest Summer on record, with just a measily 0.2ml of rain having fallen the entire season.

My chillies are past their best and the last of the capsicum are beginning to ripen. The weather bureau had been threatening the Perth Metro area with thunderstorms, but nothing eventuated.
