Welcome to list #249, the first of 2022. Bit hard to get one out after the ‘festivities’ of Christmas and the new year. I’ve always held off with a January list because ‘most’ people have run out of sheckles after the over-indulgences of the festive season. It also gives us a chance and kick back and watch the cricket (4 nil by the...

Welcome to list #244, August 2021. For various reasons this is a shortened list with various categories given a rest for a month or so.

But rest assured, we will...

Welcome to Catalogue #242—at the onset of winter here in Perth. It’s been a savage summer here in Perth, a season I don’t relish as I get older. When young and fit it’s a glorious season but for us septagenarians, it’s a real hassle. We got our first serious rain over the last few days which was fantastic. Let’s hope it rains all winte...

Welcome to Catalogue 236 November 2020. A burst of summer heat then raining like cats and dogs. It was ever thus. Sunday in lovely Perth is something for which we are ever grateful.
