Not fun for you Marina. Take care.
We love the birds in the tree Judy. Years ago we used to ‘do’ heaps of olives. We always ended up with so many. In recent years we have left them for the birds. Often people ask if they can have some. Last year a lady and her daughter stripped the tree.  She made us some very delicious Baklava as a swap.

Those Cockies were Rals favourite birds. They would eat the seeds from the Pine cones at Invermay. I have a painting of them by a local artist.
Afternoon tea a success. They enjoyed all the different scones. The berry jam with the Quince base is very nice.
Tai Chi today.

Nice swap cookie and as I don’t eat olives I would leave them all for the birds!
I can imagine those ladies having the time of their lives yesterday Chookie.
My first gym session for 3 weeks, I went better than I thought I would. Came home and planted 5 shrubs out the front, 5 to go but It was hard yakka and I needed lunch and the rest for the afternoon to get over it.

Well done Judy.
Yesterday went with Probus to see “ The Way, My Way”.  We are provided with a lunch box to have prior to film. Great day out.  Today I’m going with a friend to Bendigo to see the French exhibition. Lunch at Masons.

Mab and K Atie - are you OK?  I haven't seen your names up on the forum for a few days.  Perhaps you are like me, keeping an eye on things but feeling a bit grotty or perhaps busy, so keeping quiet.  Take care

I’m fine , doing a few appointments and batching on my own all good ! I did do the stupid thing of running to get jobs done and tripped landed flat on both knees ! Iced and out the door !! Had a few moments with DD coffee , shops and grabbed salads lunch on the road. Back with the boys late made quick dinner and now legs up ,ice pack on knees ! I did do my micro stop at Wilson’s to get fresh Tumeric, looks so fresh , so hard to find at the moment !

I did my grocery shop this morning. This afternoon I sat down in my rocker to watch a thermomix video. Next thing I knew I was waking up and had missed the video. I can watch it later. 😀😀😀

DD sent this to us when she was walking to the bus this morning. I decided to share it as I thought it was pretty. I don’t go outside and see many winter sunrises.

Today I finished the planting of shrubs and small trees in both the front and back gardens after having had many horrible yukkas and agaves removed prior to my Ballarat trip. 32 plants in total with just the mulching out the back to organise now.

What a stunning solstice sunrise.

Job well done, Judy.  You will be happy to see the new plants settled.

Judy I’m exhausted thinking of all that planting.
This morning DD and I went shopping. I was bad and bought another pair of shoes, they are the most beautiful Ruby chocolate colour.

Beautiful sunrise Cookie, thanks for photo. Shoes sound nice.
Judy, I don’t know how you do it.
KAtie, ouch. Not nice.
Marina, no lunch at Masons. Closed until Dinner time. Lunch at Bendigo Gallery. Morning tea at Chewton at a nursery and cafe. Very nice. French exhibition ok. Best exhibits were the costumes. These were from Melbourne Gallery.
Bought a new Bread machine today. Breville with fold down blade. Should be fun playing with it.

Judy, thank you for your concern  but i am fine.  The hard drive in my computer died and it is  away being repaired, hopefully i'll have it back this week.  I'm  using DS tablet at the moment.  I've  been keeping busy with a couple more dr appointments,all good there, GD and fiance came down from Qld for my 80th birthday and a family lunch at the Italian  restaurant  we like.  It was the first time all the family had been together in 5 years.  I've  also been cooking a lot fot the freezer and family.  I hope to be back on the forum sometime this week.


The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.
