This week on Instagram.

The weather here in Central Australia is magnificent this time of year. If anything, it's still a little hot, even in mid-Autumn. They say that Anzac Day (25 April) signals the start of the cool season, but so far next week's forecast is all high 20s and low 30s.

Still warm enough to swim!

Here is a little snapshot of my week.

I spotted this bike parked near my favourite cafe this week.

Making a simple spaghetti bolognese for friends, with basil and parsley from the garden. And, of course, a glass of wine.

Coffee. Need I say more?

Our vegetable garden is starting to grow rather nicely. This is the broccolini.

Alice Springs morning sunlight is divine.

These little shrubs never flower at the same time as each other, but when they do decide to flower, it's rather pretty.

Laksa with chicken and prawns, and fresh coriander from the garden.

Swimming in mid-Autumn is definitely possible here in the desert!

Enjoy your week ahead.
