I'm feeling wintry colours

Archie prefers not to wear his overcoat. Cramps his style

I used to absolutely hate delivering papers on mornings like this...

Anthony! First screen wash this season. Won't be the last...

I love autumnal colours

Hang in there, lad. I'm with you...

Archie was more than happy to return home. As I type, he is stretched out in front of the fire....

A change is a coming folks...

Still much to see...

Something melancholy about this... Perhaps it's the wintry gloom that began with Corona...

Enjoy it while it's here...

Each little touch of cheer brightens my day. Thanks!

What a morning!

Archie, you are putting on weight despite not getting any increase in food. Now I know why....

Hey, Archie! Who's that?

Sorry, I had planned for Archie walks...

to become weekly

But, 'twas such a morning

Clouds & colours gotta impress

I love bibs-n-bobs and watchamacallits

On stepping out

But, we'll still go walking...

Quickie around home-block

They're safe and Archie's not even interested...

Every child loves to be appreciated. Great gallery!

What's better than a cat behind glass? Two cats behind glass. Well done, mum-n-dad!

It's OK, Archie, it's only pretend.

Remember, Archie! Look, smell, but don't touch...

Now I know "Where the wild things are".

Archie is addicted...

Hey, lad! It's cold, it's wet and it looks like it's going to rain...

Phew! Today we walked around a 100m-diameter circle...

The grass isn't always greener on the other side... unless you're an addict.

Brrr! It was cold!

Love the smell of napalm in the morning, daddy...

She was a nice lady daddy. Did you hear her say, "Now, you must be Archie". I wonder how she knew...

That's a big dog, daddy.

That's it for today

and only isolated farm houses in view

Sorry, Archie, that's it for today...

Takes me back to the mid-fifties; paper-rounds on unmade roads (in winter) with mudguards clogged with mud...

Perfect ~ except for one thing...

A gallery of images from "Archie Walks"

Water-horse out to pasture; looks like drought conditions persist

Looking forward to seeing this one bloom

Some prefer guard-cats

Watch video clip at 4K, large screen and with audio on

I think I'll turn the central heating on this morning...

Now surely this is just a beautiful plant,,,, but there is a hint of the corona-influence....

The dampish freshness adds a sense of separateness from my usually-familiar surroundings...

1/9

Gonna be a great community facility

I wish I had half the engineering talent of some of my neighbours... Looking forward to seeing it come spring.

Saturday, on way home from getting Weekend Australian, Archie wouldn't shut-up until we stopped for a brief stroll..

Lookin' good...

The view just isn't the same...

Hey, Archie, let's walk The Ridge.

Here's hoping this stand will be here tomorrow.

Guess this one will survive...

Overnight contrasts..

Some houses just look good (Guess it's in the eye of the beholder)...

Brilliant sunset as seen from our side door.

That pristine moment...

No photo can catch that moment of pristine-ness

Never know what the phone will capture. Must be worth big bucks...

First glance from the front door says it all...

Met a another dog walker this morning. Stay well!

Archie, what do you think? Yeah, dad, whatever..

Chatted with a lovely lady on her way to wage war ~ in the research labs at the CSIRO. Stay safe!

Some boots are just made for working! I used to have a pair of work boots - most comfortable boots ever....

I love Facebook memories. Never know what'll pop up. Hey, Archie, you'd have gotten on real well with Magic....

Different block! Good vibes! A new tapestry being woven... Archie couldn't get enough of it.

My first walk ever around this block. Won't be my last. Brings back feelings from 2016/'17...

And, within a week ....?

But, I'm far too modest...

And, then there was one ~ a mere shadow of its former self...

Oh, there's another one.

Wow! What's next? The car!

Tuesday, Tuesday... can't help but love that day...

I spy with my little eye - one snail...

So good to see more birds every morning...

Wow! What a canvas!

A truly wonderful neighborly gesture. Stay happy, folks!

Hey, Archie. Look! Go get'em, boy.

Gotcha!

This is Archie's first Easter parade so I took him on a longer circuit. He did so well that I have p

With the drawbridge up, I wonder if the Easter bunny managed a visit...

I'll bet nobody else saw what I saw...

Always one or two out there who work at brightening our lives... Thanks, kids!

Γολγοθᾶ[ς] As we walked this morning many common sights took on an alternative perspective. Perhaps,

"Give me a child until he is seven and I will show you the man."

I love imagination. Archie didn't go for the bath though. He is used to the laundry sink.

Oh, dear! Should I tell the police...

Hey, buddy! Different patch this morning. They do say, "The grass is greener on the other side. Well, is it?"

1/12

And some have moved in...

Phew ! I've raised a sweat. And, to think it wasn't too many years ago that I was trekking Nepal and climbing Feathertop. Well, at least I have the memories. I've always encouraged my children and grandkids to do anything they can - while they can. There will come that time...

OK! Which block did we explore this morning? Archie was so excited to see the big wide world..

Wow! Things have changed since our last visit. Well worth the drive...

1/10

Many more photographs and videos from walks with Magic are on this site.

It's night-night-time, Archie...

Occasional contemplative pauses are warranted...

I appreciate the viewing area...

I find it very sad when compared with the previous 2017 photo

Can anyone throw any light on either of these two previously-precious houses in The Parade?

Pssst!

If you own #56 and feel this is an invasion

of your privacy I'll remove it from my page.

No, you don't blow it,

Big cuddles, big boy!

Archie's P&P Time

A necessary part of our daily routine ~ that 10 minutes immediately after getting up and before we depart for our daily around-a-block walk. That time when Archie does his business in order that he won't have to "drop a landmine" during our shared time out in the neighbourhood.
