From time to time Mr GeniAus and I enjoy a bottle of wine with our dinner. During lockdown we have been buying wines online from Qantas and Naked Wines. We much prefer the wines from Qantas but, as we never waste a drop, we always manage to finish the bottles we open.
I am one of those people who takes photos of just about anything. Today I am sharing snaps of some of the bottles we have emptied during this year.
I only left the house once in August - that was just prior to this latest lockdown.
I'm marking the first day of spring with a selection of pictures from the front yard. As the garden regularly gives us blooming surprises the photos are from all seasons.

August 26 is International Dog Day. I could not let this important occasion pass without paying homage to our loyal mate, Paddy.
As I look back through the images in our family album I realise how important Paddy is to us.
