Tiny Pleasures #250: Winter beach
A sea urchin lies on the winter beach among the kelp, like a discarded Christmas bauble. The beach is not pretty at high tide in winter, instead it offers up a bounty of curiosities.
Tiny Pleasures #249: Whisky Tasting
I stopped in at the Bellarine Whisky Distillery this afternoon and spent an excellent hour chatting and tasting with the lovely Logan at the distillery door. We had much discussion around flavours and stories and production.
Tiny Pleasures #248: A Nice Gig
Thanks for having me, Itinerant Spirits. It was lovely to play in your bluestone acoustics filled with lovely people, staff and punters. (Photo of post-gig happy face.)
Tiny Pleasures #247: Tax litter
I don’t enjoy doing my tax, but it does feel good to start the process. The shoe box of receipts is halfway into the excel spreadsheet. It’s fun screwing up the ones that don’t make the cut and tossing them on the floor beside me.
Tiny Pleasures #246: French Cocktails
I’m playing at Itinerant Spirits on Thursday night. As a distillery, they have a cocktail special matched with the musician. I flipped through my cocktail book looking for inspiration and found this page. The French Whore sounds very tasty!
Tiny Pleasures #245: Quiet Night By Myself
The wind has dropped and the world seems calmer after wild stormy weather today. My house is beautifully quiet as there’s no-one else home. I’ve been noodling about doing a bit of cooking and cleaning in between practising. It’s quite heavenly.

Tiny Pleasures #244: Big Skull
The giant marble skull outside the Bendigo Art Gallery is really quite fabulous. Entitled ‘Keep On Keeping On’, it sits up on the hill grinning ghoulishly down on the traffic hurrying by.
Tiny Pleasures #243: Fun Art
i do like a sense of humour in art. She’s a pipe dancer.

Tiny Pleasures #242: Perfect Pink Petal
A perfect pink petal lies on the hard ground, her beauty there for all the world ignore. She made me smile.
Tiny Pleasures #241: Silly Photos
A good photoshoot should be fun. That’s when you get the best photos. I’d forgotton about this one. There was a tradie in the room at this shoot last year, so I borrowed his vest. Caption please!
