From their garden, above ...

You certainly have green fingers & thumbs, Yanchep Paradise.
Thank you both.

Terrific Investment for the future!

I really have made it 'dressed to sell'!!! It didn't look anything like this when I moved in 4 years ago.
 I DON"T WANT TO LEAVE.

Olympics

Watching the opening right now - very enjoyable.
Remember these three guys?
This photo was in a newspaper (that's me in the background in the black coat).
Chris Chataway & Chris Brasher think it was in 1954,  Roger Bannister is not sure. I wrote to them in 1999 & they all replied giving different recollections of the event!

Why?

I know it's a small thing compared to some of the vandalism that goes on, but......
.... why would anyone bother to break off this little tree that I have nurtured for over a year?
And - no - the pic is not on it's side!

Mellow Yellow Monday

 
An apt title for what is happening in my life right now!

Shadow Shot Sunday 2


Potatoes are growing well & I’ve just put seeds of Lettuce in, but will I be around to reap the harvest? The house I am renting is to be sold. Anyone out there want to invest in a nice little 2x1 house with sitting tenant? I didn’t think this would happen – not yet anyway, I've made this my home for the last four years! If I have to move this will be the 29th – but I must think positive – at the moment I just feel a bit numb. 
Oh, well tomorrow is another day, I’ll do a Scarlett “I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow.”

More books in July

Sat in my car yesterday enjoying the above.
My car (parked in the driveway in the sun) was 12deg warmer than the house! So I had my lunch, read & had afternoon tea there.

Picked up these from the library to read later.
