Hope this is resolved for you asap. Not suggesting this is the case for you but my friend’s husband just had a nasty experience after finding leeches on his ankles after clearing out the bush on their property. The leech “bite” travelled up his legs to his knees. He was lucky he didn’t leave the problem much longer before he was prompted to have it checked out by his GP. He is now on antibiotics and being monitored for any escalating symptoms.

@Ozark_Kid your grand daughter gets more precious with every photo ❤️ I cannot add anything to the mobility chair (the one in the photo with the adjustable height & brakes has been ideal for my dad) but can I suggest when you obtain a walking stick, not to choose one with wide prongs at the base. That design was the first choice for my dad because of the apparent stability but the OT in store cautioned us that it would be a trip hazard.

@dani negreanu Dani, I am so sorry you, your family, your neighbours and many friends have been living for many weeks with a sense of dread since the change of government and that so many of you were forced to protest in the streets to make your feelings known. Devastating that your sons and grandsons will be forced to move away from you to another country to live the life that is no longer possible in Israel. My heart breaks for you and I thank you for continuing to post here and for keeping us informed. How is your DH’s physical pain this week?

@Lionesss How wonderful that you get a whole month one on one with your gorgeous granddaughter. What a precious gift. re ants/insects - DD is currently on a home improvement binge. After he outlayed his plans - I told him he better have a long overdue termite inspection done because no use spending a tonne of money if the house is being eaten from the inside. Thankfully the report came up clear. Hope you get rid of your ants.

The wildlife park is in suburbia and the dingo enclosure backs onto a suburban home. Someone’s dog was barking and the dingos were howling in response…made the hairs on the back of your next stand up…. @Coralc I assume you are aware of the facial tumours devastating the Tasmanian Devil population? The Azaria Chamberlain case was appalling. The miscarriage of justice and the way Lindy Chamberlain (the baby’s mother) was treated & judged by the media & Australian public and this was in the time before the internet.

Another warm & overcast day in Sydney. State Election today, so all the schools had sausage sizzles, cake stalls and coffee carts for fundraising from all the voters going to school halls today. Bought some delicious homemade macarons, choc tarts and tried some elderflower cordial. In the late afternoon went for a long walk and the drizzle set in. This little guy was sheltering from the drizzle In amongst the flowering gum blossoms.

DH was rather taken with this one. A dunnart by Janet Luxton, a small marsupial at risk due to the devastating bushfires on Kangaroo Island (cruise port off South Australia). It was a full scale painting selling for $7.8k. Gang Gang Cockatoo using images of burnt leaves for its crest by Josh Dykgraaf I loved these for their burst of colour. Painted by a New York born artist Stephanie Chambers now residing in Australia painted during sunset.
