My World

I went down to the river at the end of the street the other day,
plenty of weeds on the banks,
plenty of private jetties on the other side of the river,
boats out enjoying themselves,

and some seats have been put in since the last time I have been down there.
Some interesting houses, and yards,


and plants (an agave in flower)
the sun set on the mountains with a wonderful color at the end of the day,
an electricity control box at the corner near the church...the City Council has encouraged people to paint them!
a brief look at the garden and check on the pool..(yes it is still green) at home...
before I am off to a blood test, then a coffee at the Wordsmith's cafe at the University of Queensland.

I managed to beat off the resident ibis, and a scrub turkey as well. That is a bit of a problem with outdoor cafes , isn't it?
some wonderful sculpture....
and I quite enjoyed the Chai too....
a closer look at the muffin...I was very good and brought half of it home to be eaten the next day.
Drove out past the lake, and the wonderful paperbark trees.
What are they looking at...I think they are enjoying the view, don't you? I did!
There was time for a little skype chat with the grandson in NY on Monday morning, as he ate his Sunday night dinner. How lucky am I?
Ok...that was just a little of my world this week...hope you enjoyed the outing. I did. Especially as I can't play tennis yet!

What fun! I loved visiting your beautiful neighborhood. The chai and the muffing looked divine. Visiting with the grandson is a must here, too (and by Skype). I chuckled at the Ibis at the outdoor cafe. I really enjoyed this post. You are busy!

You live in such a beautiful neighbourhood with so many neat things to see! It's kind of interesting that they are painting those electricity boxes... here, for fun, they have painted some of the garbage cans and fire hydrants. Maybe one day I should go out and show you some pics.
Yummy muffin! I don't know if I could've stopped at just half!

Hugs and kisses, my friend. I will be back soon.♥

What a wonderful day. Hate to point this out, but that river is not very blue. That muffin is the size of a loaf of bread - looks yummy.Lovely photos.

Beautiful to walk with you, love the electrical box.

Your photos are wonderful. That utility box is fun to look at, and so are the sculptures.

You've had a busy week. Nice to have a lake nearby. Like the outdoor cafe's mascot and sculpture.

What a day. I think I like the colorful mountains and the pretty yards best. But maybe having to chase away an ibis from an outdoor cafe. I am positive I have never had to do such a thing!
What fantastic pictures. I particularly like the shot of the landscaping/garden with the headless white statue.

If that wasn't a headless white statue, forgive me - I'm delerious with sleep deprivation. However, I love the picture nonetheless.

So sorry to hear about your thrombosis. Here's hoping you're up and on the tennis courts in no time flat.
What a lovely set of pictures, I felt like I was tagging along. I like the yard and garden with the red roofs it. The electricity is super great (I wish my council would do the same) and unusual sculptures. Hope you get better soon.

Great post with all your doings. Here's nosy parkes asking what the blood test was for? Lovely on the river and so frugally weightwatching just having half the muffin, glad the Ibis did not get the other half!

cbw..I presume yes, that that was a headless sculpture...I was zoomed in on it from a distnace so had to come home and look at it on the computer to be sure!

arija..I have a thrombosis, and have been put on warfarin for a couple of months..probably from the recent overseas flight, though also probably because I didn't do enough walking when I got home, it was wet and raining..unfortunately.

so glad you all enjoyed the muffin..I can assure you there was no way that ibis was going to share it (we are told constantly not to feed them)..and I can also assure you, it, the muffin, was so big, it was very easy to stop at eating just a half...!!
Such beautiful pictures,
The kind that make me want to sit and Share in the tea and muffin right along side you!
I would've scoffed the lot though! lol!
