This is my cat who for the last two weeks has gone to bed curled up on a face cloth I had left on the hallway floor. No idea why she now thinks this is her bed but her funny idiosyncratic ways are what have made me laugh tonight #catslife

My ears are often attune to hearing an Australian accent wherever I go-today it was in Boots by someone helping me out & we got talking about the food scene in Canberra! My identity is still very much where I am from & I needed this today when I feel so far away #australian
