People on Bluesky to ask for money, I also would like money. Musicians are quite known for not having money. Composition of music is a particularly unrewarding task, financially speaking. Asking me for money is a fairly pointless exercise. Slava Ukraini!

Crowd of people at the Vivid Festival in Sydney, two light installations in one photo!
View of Sydney Harbour Bridge from the entrance to the Sydney Opera House. Sun is low in the sky, making the shadows long.
Poppet, a Burmese Cat, asleep on a couch with her forehead pressed against my arm.
Barney, a korat (grey cat breed from Thailand), with his tail looped around to his upper body, left arm on the tail, right arm stretched away from his body, face buried in his left arm. He’s sitting on a grey dressing gown.
Small zip lock bag with one red pill and one blue pill. Do I need more letters before this posts? Apparently, yes.
Bronte beach in Sydney, taken from the southern side. Closest in the pic is a walkway with three people on it, then a grassy area with a handful of people, then the beach itself with dozens of people. The seawater is a deep blue, behind that you see the houses of Bronte Marine Drive, and then a blue sky (ha!) with only a few small clouds.
Poppet (our cat, not Mike’s cat!) with her latest treasure, a Christmas card attached to a ribbon. Truth be told, Poppet doesn’t give a flying fudge about the card!
Killcare beach, view towards Putty beach.
Text reads: Cuba’s tortured relationship with its northern neighbour goes back a long way. America developed a taste for Hispanic land-grabs after buying the Florida peninsula from Spain in 1821. A quarter-century later, when newly independent Mexico refused to sell its Northern provinces (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and the southern half of California), President Polk sent in the troops. America would have gladly added Cuba to its booty but the Spanish garrison there was larger than the entire US Army. An envoy arrived in Madrid with an offer of $100 million for the island but the man’s behaviour was so boorish that the Spaniards refused to consider it.
Zelenskyy with the Ukrainian flag behind him. Quote is, “if this how dictators can be treated, then the US knows what to do.”
The inside door of a public toilet, with a sign saying “this is my happy place”!
On the right, closer to camera, a probably part (if not full) Russian Blue ex stray rescue cat stares straight at the camera. This is Jacko (Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jumping Jack Flash, Jack in the box, Hungry Jack). On the left, looking at Jacko’s ear is Poppet, an ex breeding queen Burmese Blue. Poppet is exactly as you’d expect if you know your British confectionery: she’s a little sweetie!
A somewhat scratched poster featuring a woman wearing a catsuit and holding a rifle/harpoon/long-thing-gun, behind her on one side is an explosion, slightly behind her on the other side is a gorilla, and the caption above proclaims (in three different fonts) Hey, Let’s Overthrow The Government
Walkway to the Esher Tennis Centre.
Red onions in red wine on top of steak, on top of toast, with shredded lettuce and grated carrot (on a blue and white plate!)
View of Balmoral Beach, tree branch overheard, looking towards Rocky Point Lookout with Castle Rock Beach in the background.
Car with pop up headlights, only one of which is popped.
View of Bondi Beach, NSW, Australia, taken from South of the pavilion, with the houses of North Bondi on the left.

Jacko, our cat of many years, staring straight at the camera because he was unafraid.
Foreground is a roast chicken covered in sumac and stuffed with lemon, walnuts, onion and plums. Background is roast potatoes, and further in the background, a red bowl with apples and pears
A Leadbetter’s possum on a tree, staring more or less at the camera. Tree trunk is a bit shredded, which is very possibly the handiwork of the possum.
