Another quiet day in Paradise.





My Strelitzia is still flowering. I am so pleased , as I thought they had finished a long time ago.

A quiet day today. Some chores accomplished, with great relief. A whole day spent without a cough, until my sister rang this afternoon. Cough Cough! Wouldn't you know it? Anyway, it sounds like they are having a great weekend in the bush, and a friend is taking them metal detecting for gold tomorrow. What fun. Another lovely friend rang also to have a chat, and catch up with NY news. Cough cough. Hi Rochelle, if you are reading this. Good to chat, and to know that Caitlin is doing ok. Do hope her back will be better soon.

And my favorite show of the moment, Doc Martin, finished tonight. And they ended up not getting married after all. Very sad. I shouldn't get attached to these shows. Very silly. That is almost the very first series of anything that I have ever watched in its entirety. Well, almost. I think I might have missed one there somewhere. But it is nice to be at a time of life where one can sit and watch a show, and not be interrupted by children! Of course now they can ring at anytime, and I gladly give up any show to talk to them!

Once again, very little news. Apart from the great tragedy of loss of life in the boat crash on Sydney Harbor. What a shame that these fun outings for young people can end so badly. What grief there must be in their families tonight. How our thoughts go out to them all.

May The Lord Bless them all, and Keep them, and give them His Peace.

Good morning to you Annie. Your flower is SO beautiful! What a blessing of a treat.
Goodness that coughing can be so irritating when you want to visit with a kindred friend. I pray you get 100% better so very soon.
The boating accident?...I hadn't heard about it, but I do live in a different country. I will have to go look up the info. Yes, lives broken are always tragic. God be with those families.

Hello Annie - I'm afraid I am yet another interloper! (via John-Michael) Like you, I have not been blogging long and it takes some getting used to.

It is a really interesting list of books you have - a wide range. I read a wide range as well and often can be found curled up with a book. Unfortunately, my concentration span is not good enough yet to enjoy it again, so that is why I think I blog - shorter pieces. Like reading a magazine without all the trash!

I'm a bit of a sudoku and crossword addict too. Not too good at it but enjoy the challenge.

Hope all is well with you and your family. Pop over and see me sometime. Best wishes.
