Welcome to Catalogue #240, April 2021. The world is still in pretty big strife coping with the COVID 19 pandemic although we are infinitely better off here in Australia compared to many other places. There have been 128,000,000 cases world wide with 2,790,000 dying from it so far. Another 72,500,000 have recovered. Australia’s figures are way do...

Welcome to Catalogue #239, March 2021. As I plug away at this list, it’s Labour Day weekend in WA. The Hyde Park Fair was in full swing yesterday with kids running everywhere and the trinket stalls were in abundance. Not really my cuppa tea! Had quite a nice beef and cheese burger with chips then wended our way home. We live literally 150 metres...

Welcome to 2021, Catalogue 238, our first list of the year. Perth has been mild this January but sweltering mid 30s temperatures came at the end of the month and it will get hotter in February. It’s hoped that everyone got through the Festive season unscathed. We had a lovely holiday in beautiful Tasmania with our daughter Georgia and her husban...

Welcome to our Christmas 20% off Catalogue 237. As we head into the festive season it is also the disconcerting season. The unprecedented attack on my Regiment SASR by the disgraceful media, politicians of all stripes and lastly by the military leadership who have turned their faces to the wall for over a decade.

Welcome to Catalogue 236 November 2020. A burst of summer heat then raining like cats and dogs. It was ever thus. Sunday in lovely Perth is something for which we are ever grateful. The PICA Vernissage last night was most impressive and the red wine flowed. I was most interested in the Caravaggio-like ’Narcissus in Metamorphosis’ trio of frame...

Welcome to Catalogue #233, August 2020. The dead of winter here in lovely Perth is quite mild in comparison to the places our kids live—Tasmania and Canada! We had intended to be in Canada for Christmas with the grandies but the lock-down has thwarted our plans. In the past our Canadian trip also meant we could slip down to the States and catch ...

Catalogue #232 comes in the middle of a reasonably cool winter. Lovely to see a bit of good rain in these parts. Our favourite lake has been replenished and the bird life is abundant. Being locked down at home for so long has suited me perfectly as it has Jo although she misses the personal interaction with her mates. But...it is what it is. We�...

Welcome to Catalogue #231, June 2020. Whilst still in the middle of the pandemic lock-down, thanks to technology we’re still able to reach most of our book buyers via email, zoom and the phone. We still send a few hard-copies but far less than when we first started. It was hard copy only and all hands on deck (mothers-inlaw etc) to build the cat...
