Bindi: "I keep thinking about places I'd like to visit so while I've been sitting at my desk, I've been looking up information about Australia. It looks like a beautiful country and it has a rich and complicated history."
"By the way, now that Wimbledon has begun, Mom wonders why Australia stopped producing great tennis players like Rod Laver, Margaret Court, Evonne Goolagong, Ken Rosewall, John Newcombe, Roy Emerson and...more names than I can remember!"
"But that's beside the point! I want to travel there and experience the country! I wonder, what are some of the places there where I really MUST go? Any recommendations?"
Now I can get back to work.....and you can just see the knitting I need to sew up on the far left!
I think I am going to get projects finished this week!

It is so dark and damp and grey and wet here today that I have to use the flash, even though I am standing at the door!
But I just had to post a photo of Bindi, If you squint you might be able to see the outline of the apple tree behind her. :)
She is wearing a knitted jacket by Lynn.
I love these. I woudn't ever want to pierce my bellybutton, but I love decorating it.

Bindi: "I'm not sure how to 'cast off' this French knitting."
(Re-cycling day - from a much warmer time of year!)
I will mention the "elephant in the room".
In real life Bindi's nose and body are now so yellowed that I don't like to share photos of her.
I really dislike this resin colour change that has happened to her.
But it doesn't mean I don't like Bindi anymore, it just means I won't be sharing many photos of her in the future.
Bindi is still my companion doll and she is still the doll that sits beside me. She is just growing old with me. I have wrinkles. a wider waist and age spots and she is turning yellow *sigh*
Such is life

And yes......autumn is in the air here and we are wearing knitwear again in the morning and evening.
