I live in Blackheath in the beautiful Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. This is the land of the Dharug and Gundungurra people. I am involved in bushcare and in the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as looking after my garden.

The Three Sisters Social Group invites you to Thriller the Soirée, the culmination of the Blue Mountains Pride weekend. Join us for an evening of fun, food, drink, music, entertainment and perhaps a bit of sci fi horror.

Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility. Today, and every day, I stand with you and give you my support. This is especially important at the moment because of what is happening in the USA. 🩵🩷🩶🩷🩵

Tickets for the Blackheath Disco are selling well, but there are still plenty available. Not only is the hall at Blackheath larger with space for more tables and more dancers, but this year we are hiring the other hall too. It will have the snack bar and a chillout space.

It's time to deadhead your agapanthus and montbretia. These are both invasive weeds in our catchment that are invading the National Park. By deadheading you reduce the spread of these weeds. Put the removed seed heads into your green waste.

Sunday was Kylie. We had great seats on the main floor. She walked right past us to get to the centre stage. We were on our feet singing and dancing all through the concert.

I have been watching the expansion of the aptly named Arion (slug) ater (black) in the upper Blue Mountains over the past 10 years. I counted 19 in a new area this evening. Invasive, and bring a suite of issues, but oh so perfectly black. Quite stunning. Time to get collecting.

In Australia, it's legal to lie in a political ad. In the next few months, we will endure another federal election campaign with unfiltered exposure to lies and disinformation, UNLESS the Government passes truth in political advertising laws, which 87% of Australians support. Let's get it done!

Leaders in the Pacific are tiring of Australia's lipservice on stopping climate change, while palming off urgent requests to tell us all when the Australian Government will stop approving new coal mines.

The bag contains mostly montbretia corms but also some agapanthus heads removed from the national park at Braeside Bushcare this morning by 7 volunteers. Stop these spreading into the national park by deadheading or digging out. Put the corms and flower heads into the green waste.

A couple of tiny flowers from my garden today: Myoporum and mondo grass.

In our pond today.
