Whaddoyaknow: it’s almost Halloween!  I have to say, it’s always a bit like Halloween here, but the last few days have been really a bit scary…lol It has been raining and raining and raining , so much that last night apparently there was a car floating (as in not driving but FLOATING) in the Yarra Junction car park. The little Yarra River has broken its banks…again, the back paddock is water logged or under water, everything is extremely soggy and muddy BUT the good news is, only our verandah roof is leaking and the house is not flooded , which...

Victoria goes a little bit mad in September : call it the Victorian version of the Super bowl in the USA… Paul and me are big AFL footy fans (btw: Congratulations to Geelong !!!) and the Grand Final is always something special, not the least because of the entertainment. This year I was especially excited, because Robbie Williams was going to perform. And, what a show it was ! He absolutely rocked a hot pink outfit that kind of embedded in my retinas I guess, because I have been seeing hot...
