Autumn Days Abound

We have had some beautiful days here. Autumn is my favourite season. I am always happy to say goodbye to hot drier weather.

It has been a busy time with my sister’s visit from overseas. Road trips, rainy, windy drives, fisherman’s shacks for accommodation, feeding wildlife at Bonorong Wildlife sanctuary and chatting with the owner about the new hospital plans.

Then there were several projects around the garden.

Not much time for reading at all but listening to a few things on audible at night. I have belonged to two book clubs but am dropping one of them. I’m not enjoying the book selections so much as many about war and depression. It isn’t something I want to bring into my life at the moment so quite happy to go with the second club. The variety of books in this group have been fun. Calvino, Kafka’s the Castle, Ginzburg’s The Dry Heart had such various contrasts from each other. Next month we’ll be delving into The Monk, a Penguin classic by Matthew Lewis. I had not heard of this so am looking forward to seeing what it entails.

Very weird cover.

Coming up are two market days in two different cities with my sister and friends, then a fall festival with our photo club. We still have a few day trips to do too so a busy couple of weeks to come.

I will end the day with a few photos here.

An old blacksmith’s shop on a friend’s property for Easter Saturday lunch in central Tasmania.

Stopping in the highlands for a lot of sheep. It was fun to watch the dogs work them.
Taking a walk around Hobart.

Looking forward to further adventures, photography and more reading as the year progresses.

Outta here for now….
