Having a coffee within the Sound of the sea at Phillip Island. You can’t see Silkie because she’s under the table: I don’t think people would be happy with a dog on top of the table. 😆 I’ve nearly finished Marry in Haste by @annegracie1 this weekend, and I’ve loved every page. If I had a paper copy, I would waved at you in this photo. But I can’t read paper away from home because I don’t have my desktop magnifier. Been a great weekend!
