I'm one of those horrible people that doesn't believe in giving lollies to kids on Halloween. No disrespect to the tradition itself, its been practised for hundreds of years around the world but has only recently gained popularity here because we see on TV that's what they do in 'the states'. Not a good enough reason for me to let my kids go around to strangers houses I'm afraid.

Lets just pretend you can't see the street light and that this is an unimpinged photo of another gorgeous Goldfields sunset :)

Does this remind anyone else of Pikachu or is it just me?

This is the rest of the mechanical Pokemon, I think its a telehandler or something like that, kinda takes the fun out of it though:

I LOVE this shot! The colours are gorgeous and these scented wooden flowers are way cooler than good old pot pourri (sorry Nan!)

Words for the wise, enough said:

Any toddler with their finger on the pulse knows that PeeWee 50's are so last season, feet powered plastic fantastic all the way baby!!

This cute lizard was the funniest little critter I've ever seen:

Quite happy to pose for the camera then scurry away as if my time taking pics was up:

Only to stop and make sure I got a shot from his other best angle, what a ham!

Brussel Sprouts, the scourge of the vegetable kingdom. Not in my books! Cut them up into quarters and par boil in salted water until go bright green and softened a little, drain. Fry some diced bacon in a non-stick pan, chuck your sprouts in when the bacon has crisped up to your liking and fry until everything is coated is bacony goodness.

I saw this painting in the window at Black Crow Studios in Boulder and just loved it, wish I could say I did it myself!

I wanted to show you this pic not so much for artistic value but for its health benefits listed below, you can buy these through Tom and Boo.

A gentle reminder that we all have one or more of these beautiful beings watching over us. Take some time out of your day to show your gratitude by just thinking about them and saying thanks, your angels will always be with you even when no one else is - all you have to do is ask!

To me this is a perfect representation of life in Kalgoorlie, a mix of industry and nature. How many towns do you know of where it is common place to see a truck pulling four trailers full of ore?  At any given time you could see a rabbit or a goat or a kangaroo or a wedge tail eagle or a nankeen kestrel or even a black shouldered kite or a giant monitor or a tiny little skink.....I love living here.

"Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, where I stand"

Thanks Bob, hope everyone is having a fabbo day xx

My little monkey being a little monkey. I had taken hubby's car fridge out of the truck to clean it and it was left next to the kitchen bench. Junior has decided that it is infinitely better to climb up and see what's cracking rather than randomly reaching up and grabbing whatever she can get her curious little mitts on. She's not even two yet, we have a loooooong road ahead of us lol.
