May I wish a Happy Bench Monday to one and all. This bench overlooks an inlet of the Southern Ocean just outside Albany in the south west of Western Australia; a gentle and pleasant spot, though this day was quite chilly and drizzly.

I hope everyone is well and safe. Enjoy the rest of the week if you can, and tolerate it if enjoyment is not on the agenda.

Autumnal

A Happy Bench Monday to all. May your day and your week be as stress free as possible and as calm as you can make them. This bench and its surroundings are a gentle reminder that our southern hemisphere seasons are the opposite of yours in Europe and North America. Winter is coming in a couple of weeks ... Brrr!

Happy Bench Monday. I hope your day goes well.

This was once the railway station for the township of Goomalling in the Western Australia Wheatbelt. The passenger railway closed back in the 1970s, though the line still carries grain for the CBH silos. The station became (or was in 2022) a café, though I believe it may be something else now. There are less than 500 people in Goomalling and only a few visitors these days. Tempus fugits (as my mum used to say).

Uninviting

I'm not sure this is really uninviting. I remember taking this picture in the dim and distant past of 2012, and it being a cold and miserable late spring day in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. We sat and shivered as only southern softie Western Australians do when faced with temperatures below 20°C, but we enjoyed the misty view and the empty sea. And looking back to 2012 I'm nostalgic for a more innocent, seemingly peaceful time when the future seemed to promise good things ...

May I wish you a Happy Bench Monday. I hope you have time to sit and think or read or watch the world or whatever it is you do to relax. Sitting doing nothing (and avoiding doom-scrolling the news) is a very useful way of coping with the stresses of the present. I hope you can manage this amidst your normal day-to-day. Have a great day and a lovely week.

Hard

Happy Bench Monday to all. I can vouch for the hardness of this bench outside the Albany Entertainment Centre. Have a ripper day and a fine week.

A Happy Bench Monday to all. These hands stand outside the Aegis Health building in the Murdoch Health and Hospital precinct in Perth, WA. Let's care for each other, please.

A Happy Bench Monday to all. This shaded bench is much needed. I hope your days (and nights) are cooler than ours at the moment. Summer can be rather a trial in the so-called "Lucky Country".

Cool

OK, I know these birds are not *really* seated ... but it was a nice idea all the same.
Happy Bench Monday to you all. Have a great day and week on the run-up to the future.

A Happy Bench Monday to everyone. This *is* sometimes used as a bench, but is mostly used as a prop for tourist photos: "you sit there and I'll take a picture with my phone." You know the kind of thing; not that there's anything wrong with that. I waited until no-one was around, though; I liked the space.
