I'VE HAD ANOTHER MOVEMENT!

 Yes, I'm back where I started. It takes too much mental energy to figure out what Wordpress is up to these days! (And I suspect that my mental energy tank is draining faster than I like!)

But I think I'll pootle along here and see how we manage.

For a winter's day we are having some fabulous sunshine. The Man's brother scored a bagful of orchids when a house site was being cleared. He just politely asked the chap on the bulldozer if he could have the orchids. Obliging 'dozer man switched off his engine and said: "Go for it!"

Oh, you want to see the first prize? Hang on...

And the goanna has found a girlfriend! They've been flinging themselves about, too. 

We are hopeful of eating home-grown passion fruit this year! At last count 8 (I think) fruits; still green, but fingers are crossed.

We've been back and forth to the vet with poor old Sporran. Injections, tablets (scratches for me) and I think she's out of the woods. Hope so!

Not much else to write about and I have chores piling-up.

State election next week so we did the early vote thing the other day and I've queued-up some Nordic noir films for when tv gets too politicky! Suspect I'll need to drown my left-inclined sorrows...














WHAT WERE THE "GOOD OLD DAYS" ?

 I'm serious!  I've heard some people say this when they're referring to last year's sports team or the early "James Bo...
