Remember when we visited Eat Street back in June? They had an art installation of giant white rabbits in the mall especially for this evening.
These white rabbits may have been on their way home from the Vivid festival which had just ended.

I wonder if these messages are written strictly for us non-medical citizens, or whether medical staff actually read this kind of thing before irrigating a brain.
We are taking a Cat Break this week, but never fear, those kitties are posing up a storm for future Fridays!

It is garden week, lets check in on the Portulacas!
The above shot was taken at the start of January – the seedlings had found their feet and begun to flower.
Here is one a week or so later. These plants have been flowering up a storm!
When I bought seedling Portulacas before Christmas, I put a few into a pot for my parents as their Christmas present.
My break is going super well, and I’m going to extend it another week. I’m really boring at the moment, just focused in on diet and exercise, and probably you don’t want to read about that. You might get a Fitbit post later this week, if I can manage it. :)

Short and sweet this week – some photos from the Booderee National Park Botanic Gardens –
I love Botanic Gardens in general but this particular one is the spookiest one I have ever been to.
I took my Chinese Cousins here when they visited nearly a year ago and the whole time, I was freaked out by skittering noises in the leaf litter.
So I said to The Other Half, I would like to go back with him and see if I found it less spooky.
For 95% of the time we were there, I did not find it very spooky, but then..
I encountered my first ever snake in the wild, after 40.5 years of living in Australia. It was a red bellied black snake which was lying across the path we were walking on.
That whole stand still when you see a snake thing has been so drummed into me, my body acted without me needing to do anything. I was actually half jogging up a hill, and I stopped as soon as I saw it. I had to call out to the other half, who had turned to look at me when I stopped.
The little snake – it wasn’t very old I think, probably 6 months to a year – saw us and looked at us. Then it turned around and moved on top of a nearby rock. It sat there taking a good look at us, probably for a minute or so. Then, it quickly disappeared into a crevice.
I had my camera in my hand the whole time but not the mental capacity to take a photo. It was part shock, part awe, part wow. I remember seeing the eyes, and I remember how red the underneath of this snake was. It was a truly gorgeous snake.
The gardens were *extremely* spooky after that event, for both of us!

This sign was found outside of my local aquatic centre & gym.
There was a photo of a snake on there, but I have blacked it out as I know there are some snake-phobic readers here and I would never want to inflict that awful feeling I get when someone posts a spider without warning on anyone else.
Following on from last week, we are still on our walk from Huskisson to Vincentia. Last time, we were looking down a path to the beach – here is what you will find at the end of that path.
This is where the kite boarders do their thing, if the wind is playing rough.
Remember last week I mentioned the circle house? In between the circle house and another fancy looking house, this tiny shack exists. This poor house must feel quite shabby in between the two modern masterpieces!
Here is another modern masterpiece that I like the look of. No idea whether it belongs to someone or if it is a beach rental type place. I love the wood stairs that seem suspended in space.
Sometimes when you are looking the other way – towards the sea – you will get a surprise! This is the HMAS Canberra. I don’t know a lot about ships in general but this one made a big splash here last year when she first visited Jervis Bay, and she is quite recognisable with that big flight deck.
Here is another view of her.
This is a slightly less scary beach path. I followed a lizard up this path recently. On the day I took this photo, a small sparrow was dustbathing in the sand here.
These next 3 photos were taken yesterday, on the Australia Day long weekend.
You can see that even when there are a lot of tourists in town, you can still find your own place on the beach.
Will I ever get tired of walking here? Probably not. There is always plenty to distract you from the fact that you are exercising. :)
