The last day of Summer for Australia. 

Today's temperature is 31C and very humid. 

Tomorrow's temperature for the first day of Autumn will be 32 C  ! 

Can't wait to see the finish of Summer ... 

Feeding the crows @ Bulimba Park the other day ... they look so cool. 

My small terrace garden today. 

Below:  Stavros kindly repotted my ficcus bonsai plant. 

What a sterling job he did, too !

Brisbane City where I currently live. 

Tokyo City where I wish that I was living ... 

Hopefully I can travel back to Japan again very soon.

Everything I touch

with tenderness, alas, 

pricks like a bramble.
