A Happy Fence Friday to all. I hope your day and your weekend are fine and that you are all safe and well.

May I wish you all a Happy Fence Friday. This fence is next to the walkway across the estuary in Mandurah; the mural is one of a number on the bridge and in its surrounds. Public artwork is a major part of our city and brings joy and smiles to us regardless of the state of the world in general. Sometimes joy and smiles are all we have. Have a delightful day and a restful weekend.

A fine and Happy Bench Monday to all and sundry. I hope your day, your week and your life are wonderfully joyful. And if they're not always as good as we would like, that we have the fortitude to meet adversity and overcome it as best we can.

Have a Happy and glorious Fence Friday. Here the sun is shining as spring begins next Monday. Hurrah! Have a ripper day and an exciting weekend. Apparently there are nine national flags with these three colours, all from countries that I have never visited. That fact bears no relation to the picture or to anything in Mandurah but is interesting just the same. Well, to me anyway. As usual YMMV. Picture better on black, I believe.

A Happy Bench(ish) Monday to all. I hope your week begins well and gradually improves as the days pass until it achieves the status of “spectacular”. This may look like a soft and comfortable sofa, but the Old Owl rear end will attest to its hardness. It (the bench not my bum) sits behind the Sutton Street Hall in Mandurah, a fibro building which was a Presbyterian Church way back in ancient times (early 20th century, I think) and is now a Multicultural Services Centre. [UPDATE Actually it was a Methodist Chapel and is newer than I thought, being constructed in 1940.). The bench, of course, is new. I think this looks better seen larger and on a dark background. Please press Z to see whether you agree. (PS Sorry about the crappy car park.)

Western Australian vernacular.

Sorry I've not been around for a while. My venerable iMac turned up its toes in March - even Apples must die sometime (sniff, sniff), but now I've got a new one (thanks to She who not only Must Be Obeyed but who has money she's willing to spend on me) so I can waste everyone's time again.

A Happy Bench Monday to all. These seats at the Busselton Jetty are apparently made from plastic bags! I know nothing about the whys and wherefores of this, about how such things are done, or whether someone scours the waste bins of the nation for discarded bags. But I welcome something being done with the curséd things! Have a lovely Monday and I hope the week is not too onerous. (And good luck to all who are suffering storms in Europe and freezing cold in the USA. Meanwhile some of us in the Land Down Under are roasting.)

Town Beach. Mandurah.

HWW, everyone. Toilet block in a Mandurah car park.

Two benches for the price of one. A veritable bargain. Happy Bench (x2) Monday to everyone. Wherever you are, I hope you have some time to sit and enjoy the day. These two benches are on Hampton Street, the main street through the small and delightful town of Bridgetown WA.

HWW everyone. Tonight (21st June 2023) is the longest night for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere. I believe for those in the north it is the longest day. Whatever it is, enjoy every moment that you can (and stoically tolerate any bad ones that may peep their heads up). Love to all.
