I was in Brisbane last week, mainly to see the Rajah Quilt which was visiting from Canberra and keeping company with some very fine quilts from V&A and elsewhere.
I had a spare day and courtesy of a writing friend was introduced to Sandgate on a day when the beach was showing its best sides.
I love the public art in Brisbane. This fellow was about 2m tall.
Blousy and beautiful

This blackbird has been warbling in the dusk most evenings for the past weeks. It's one of the pair that are now nesting under our deck (and digging through the mulch most days). I suspect the hedge might have been a more restful nesting space but what would I know? My pucs are improving but the windows are not getting cleaner ...

The Flower Garden is the story of a quilt made by children locked up in Changi Gaol in 1942 after the fall of Singapore.
