Wife: Darn it, a button has come off my dress (as we’re about leave for dinner). Me: Don’t panic dear wife as I have a fix, a travelling sew kit that’s been sitting in my toiletries bag for almost 40 years, right next to my Proton Energy Pill and me tin of spinach.

Some mores images from our visit to the Gardens by the Bay. Marina Bay Sands hotel taken from a walkway between the super trees.

30 odd degrees and a bizillion percent humidity but the Hibiscus (pretty sure they are, but correct me if I’m wrong) are putting on a show.

@mykahllc.bsky.social Spent most of the morning wandering around Gardens at the Bay in Singapore, enjoy

An Orchid grafted onto a Palm and a Agapanthus like I’ve never seen before

Car parking solution in Singapore

Having a little wander around the Singapore Zoo

Spraxis, Bottle Brush and Japanese Maple adding some colour to the garden

Just checking on my neighbours apricot tree, looks like a bumper year.

Our next door neighbour Charlie just lounging around

Azaleas and rhododendron in bloom

One of the locals decided to have a wander around and inspect the renovations. Needless to say we got a warble of approval.

Didn’t some else build something similar 86 years ago?

My neighbour Charlie having a munch on some hay in his favourite backyard hiding place

More blossoms

Spring is here (well almost).

More fun in the garden

Early morning arrival

Just wandering around

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron. H.L Mencken

It’s winter, what are you guys doing?

Jonquils doing their best

Reaching for the sky

A week before Winter starts and the garden still looks good with camellias, Correas and the last of the chrysanthemums (dead-headed them this morning):

A Spike Milligan card found in a little shop we visited on Saturday afternoon.

Garden’s still doing great even though it’s Autumn

I’m so tired of dreaming that I was catching mice, I can’t lift my head

Just pooped in

On the way home from a walk, contrails everywhere.

Nice to see our shadow landing as well.

Magnificent 540K, An Evo 2 and a 300 SL Gullwing from the Lindsay Fox Collection

A grand building

Wandering around the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show

Just wandering around

The usual suspects at it again

Pic one taken in early December 2025 and Pic two on Tuesday this week

So, seeing so many pizzas on the platform so I decided to have a bash. Garlic and herd mini bases, chilli, olive and tomato stir through sauce, jalapeños, red onion, pepperoni, tomatoes from the garden, mushrooms, mozzarella and tasty cheese.

Ross the Rosella having a ‘I think I can’ moment

A few minutes later ….

I’m back….

Ross the Rosella enjoying a sunflower head that was bitten off by the usual suspect (previous photo).

Whoops, usual suspect getting busted

A couple more from today’s wander.

Wandering around, still a lot of things in bloom. Especially a delicate hydrangea.
