When I don’t have time to properly format a post. Could involve any topic.

  • Molonglo Gorge (Start)

    Had a walk a few hundred metres along the riverside track through the gorge.

    Cold. Awake an hour ago. Have to decide what I’m doing today.

    More Turner.

    5 PM

    At the bush spot on the lake.

    Shower at Queanbeyan. Too tired and didn’t want to go to the coast, especially if the Pests of Waldrens Swamp are going down for the weekend, like Friday Threat.

    From there to Molonglo Gorge.

    Then up Red Hill, studying places I’ve been.

    Tired and fluey. Good to be here in the quiet and I’m going to enjoy a few hours that I have.

    Sunny in Canberra though chilly wind.

    Harry

    At the time I was driving up Red Hill I heard on the radio that The so-called Duke of Sussex, former Prince Harry, was seen at the War Memorial on an organised function. So I pulled in and took a 100x shot of the War Memorial when he was in it.

    Another shot from Red Hill of a controlled burn further out and slightly to the north of Kambah Pools.

  • Four More But Why?

    This so-called smartphone can’t show the proper order of photos nor show them edited in place nor allow me to re-order them nor provide a full pic thumb so I can properly choose nor the gallery software allow me to delete pics so these edits are doubled and out of order and missing some and I’m absolutely sick of trying and I don’t give a fuck.

    Not really a reason to live, are they.

    3.57 PM

    Back from a short wander in the bush after packing up paints. Wonderful bush.

    Since 2.45 AM.

    Cold, breath showing and hands not working well.

    Woke early with a good sleep and couldn’t get back into it. So good knowing I don’t have to start the car and drive somewhere. I would have left an hour ago or more.

    Listened to an interesting radio conversation and wrote into the nyt.

    9.20 AM

    Super tired, lost and alone. Don’t know what to do. I could go to Queanbeyan for a shower, go to Molonglo Gorge, then back here, but petrol is expensive and I’m too tired to drive and to experience it.

    I could shower here, go to Bungendore perhaps, or paint here. Might upset the locals and had authorities at the area this morning doing something. When feeling okay suddenly I feel lije an outcast and a problem, again.

    So I’m not going to do anything. Have a lie down and a coffee. In my cocoon.
