A Happy Fence Friday to everyone. May your day (and your weekend and your Christmas Day) be merry and bright. No chance of a white Christmas here, thank goodness. Busselton Jetty (again!). Thank you to all who have looked at, commented on and enjoyed my pictures over the last year. You've kept me going at times when things looked grim. Enjoy the holiday season.

A Happy Fence Friday to all. May your day be pleasing and your weekend be relaxing. (If such a thing is possible at this frenetic time of year.) This is the outdoor area of the Little Stiller gin distillery in Mandurah. Yum, very tasty.

Happy Fence Friday, everyone. I think this fat and grumpy herring gull stole too many chips from the tourists in Folkestone, hence the need for the cart. The photo was taken by She (Who Must Be Obeyed), who has given her permission for me to use it, because she's nice like that. I hope your Friday is a good one and that your weekend allows you to relax from the past week's labours and to prepare yourself for next week's exciting prospects.

Always was and always will be Aboriginal land. Happy Fence Friday, everyone. May your day be the best it can be and your weekend be relaxing and calm. Please also take a little time to think about the fight against injustice and prejudice wherever they may be (and no matter how entrenched they may appear) and resolve to speak out against them whenever possible.

This "house" floats in Folkestone Harbour in Kent, England. I think it was originally pink when it was made in 2017 but has faded over time. It was one of six made by the artist Richard Woods and placed around the town. They aren't real but were made to draw attention to the housing problems in the area. There are various articles on the interwebnetthingy about the project. The "house" has broken free of its moorings a couple of times but has never escaped to France which lies just over the horizon ... yet. This one's an interview in 2017: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2017/aug/20/richard-woods-holiday-home-folkestone-triennial-interview (Sorry I can never remember how to make it a nice neat fancy link. Blame Oldtimer's Disease.)
