 Long Pandemic Days require lots of things to do at home.. Reading playing freecell  and many interesting puzzles!  A new one called Wordle is the latest craze! (not a very good photo, sorry) And not to forget to mention the Tennis We are all hoping Ash Barty can do well  She won a tournament in Adelaide prior to playing in  Melbourne! The Australian Open seems to be popular here.. as well as the Cricket! Hope you are surviving the pandemic as best you can under the circumstances.  Stay Safe and hopefully well! God Be With You!

Happy New Year for 2022 I do hope you had a reasonable Christmas time! Very quiet here. Third year of the COVID19 pandemic Tried to post and it went to a different place! So long since I have been here!! Ash Barty played and won in Adelaide today Hope the Djokovic debacle can be resolved tomorrow.  The Australian Open will go on this year. Part of the plan for Living with Covid!' Many of us have had our two doses of vaccinations, and onto our third (booster) Restrictions being reintroduced around the place as case numbers are going through the roof! Better sign off for now. God Bless

 Gosh, it is now October, and I last blogged here in April. Birthdays have come and gone,  lockdowns have been and gone also!! Queensland has not fared too badly but Melbourne is in another long lockdown as well as NSW. NSW has a new premier, and will open up a bit tomorrow  having got to 70 percent vaccination rates. Melbourne lags behind a bit but they will both have quite a few ongoing cases... they are going to call it "living with covid" Heaven Help Us. I'll have to find a photo to cheer us up here a bit. Meanwhile  Have a good week! God Bless.

 After all the gloom and doom of more than the last 12 months A new brighter header picture for my blog today, and a few photos from the recent month. well, that's if I can find out how to put them in here. It appears that blogger has changed a few things since I was last here! Easter has been.  I discovered that one can buy licorice easter aggs if desired.  So I did. I have actually been reading again after a year of not reading! This was the latest one. About an intrepid young lady making a name for herself by running the first all woman garage in Australia in the 1920's!! They even had a mention of the pandemic of 1918.  uncanny/ There have been a couple of birthday celebrations of late. Nice to be able to do something relatively normal and exciting. And to see some people! (wry smile) Well. I managed a few photos.  The others apparently didn't want to be dragged across!! (smiles again) maybe blogger is limiting my numbers of photos! In which case I may have ...

  (leaves and berries summer 2021 nature) Here it is Nearly February. And the mad global pandemic is still with us  luckily Australia has managed to contain most of our outbreaks  through locking down states or areas. May God bless you if you are reading this from a lockdown in your country! (leaves etc on boardwalk summer 2021) Love and prayers for all. (magnolia jan2021) May God  go with you!

 Just realised my last post here was in June. How can that happen , when I have been at home doing nothing much? I do hope you have a reasonable Christmas season, wherever you may be when reading this! It has been a year like no other despite the fact that we have been quite lucky here. I managed to get to the beach for my fish and chips occasionally. Then it turned into fish and chip breakfast, when the tourists came back in the holidays. And now I probably wont go over there until after the summer holidays. Was nice to have some family come for a few weeks holiday and stay close by. that of course was interrupted by a couple of stints to hospital for dizzy spells and small procedure. Results all good. Now I know why I haven't posted, because my photos no longer get downloaded to this new laptop. Will have to do something about that!  So Stay Safe until I go find my photos!  May God go with you. here's an old one to make do until then!!

 Amongst all the pandemic news, we get to do some normal things like taking photos of some of my favourite things A little difficult transferring from an old broken down laptop to a new one. But I'll learn eventually, hopefully. May God go with you this month. And at this time of grieving for so many,  I will add a link to a favourite sacred piece LUX AETERNA  from Elgar's Enigma Variations.
