 Easter and Anzac Day have been and gone. I was very fortunate to have someone come to help clean out a flooded mess in the garage before Easter. Whew, What a mess that was. But so good to have it a little cleaner! Many people still dealing with the aftermath of the floods. Electioneering in full swing for a May Federal election. The beach is still there. A lot less crowded now after the holiday makers have gone home! Have been doing more of these puzzles lately. Codebreakers. Read a couple of books  Including Cathy goes to Canberra by Cathy McGowan. Very interesting insight into how an Independent candidate took on a sitting Liberal member in Victoria, and won, several years ago. Also The Little Hen who dreamed she could Fly was a quaint little very short read. Was going to include a photo I took today, but can't find it! Hope you have a good rest of April, despite Covid sticking around. Not gone yet! Take care everyone, and don't forget your boosters/vaccines. 

 As promised  some photos from the tv news of the floods Prayers for those who are homeless, looking for accommodation...who are tired and weary!

 THE  BIG WET 2020 Whew, it has been a little moist here lately! Floods all over here in S E Queensland.  And it has progressed down to Northern NSW today as well with emergency evacuations everywhere Terrible.  Record breaking days. No words. photos to come God Bless

 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 ...
