And! We’re back in Canberra. Well, not me, but my husband is, and I spent last week with him there. It’s Woden this time, not as nice as Tuggeranong. Here are a few pictures. If you get my newsletter you may have seen the picture of the pigeon at the…
There we are, I’ve turned off commenting for the second time, only a month after I re-enabled it. From now on, this will be a news site. I’m getting sick of comment spam. I’m also getting sick of contact form spam, so I’ve turned that off, too. You’re still free…

On the move again. We visited lookout at the chapel on the hill (Chapel of the Holy Cross) in Sedona. Wonder who lives in that crazy house down there. We came through the creepiest-ever place called Jerome. The building with the red window frames was actually a brothel. I think…
