TIME WITH SUNNY AND ETTA

THREE DAYS with beloved daughter and granddaughter.  What a novelty to see a tiny little person running around in my garden, well walking really.    She walked and walked, circumnavigating the house three times, exploring every room.  we had a relaxed time, a trip to perry sandhills, lots of time outside and just watching etta, time at the pool which Etta took to easily, driving and listening to her in the back singing 'twinkle twinkle' in perfect pitch. 

goodbye 😓 till christmas

this young female kangaroo was lying in the saltbush for

days, sometimes guarded by a large male.  i think she's in the

early stages of motherhood, after about four days she's gone

this morning, another beautiful sunrise

this young kooka has been around for a few days, a funny clueless little fella.   he flopped into the birdbath, no sitting on the rim, just F-lop into the water, wings hanging over the edge, finally managed a bath.  He's been around for a few days.  at first i thought he was injured, he sat and sat in one spot after a spat with another kooka.  but now i think he's just very young and seems to be alone

SUNNY AND ETTA ARRIVE TOMORROW

I'M EXCITED!!  Sunny and Etta fly in at 10.30 tomorrow.  Everything is good here, the garden's looking great after the beautiful rain we've had - there's more on the way.   

the kangaroos are back now that my family has gone,  sorry they missed seeing them.  yesterday a small female arrived and today she's joined by a protective looking male.  i'm hoping they've mated.  They're nestled in the saltbush in the front yard. 

I  revisited my bathers and dress

print series yesterday after

receiving an inquiry about

them through the style file.

hopefully i'll sell one or two.

i'm surprised i have more

versions than i thought, they

were fun to work on.

THREE DAYS OF REST

AWAITING THE ARRIVAL of susan and sean, travelling via Sea Lake.  I hope they enjoyed their stay at the Royal, morning coffee on the wide old balcony was a treat.

memories - gail and 

i stayed there on our 

trip back after my 

hip operation

IT'S GOING TO BE HOT - 33 today and probably a bit windy.     i hope we get some kind weather over the next three days.

Pink in the morning, shepherd's warning

A QUIET WEEK 

at home again before 

Jenny and Freddie arrived 

on friday for three days. 

taking it easy as my 

shoulder still feels

strange and a bit

delicate

VISITED THE DOC on Friday and he says everything is going fine  I should get used to the feel of the plate in my shoulder by six months (it's been two) and the bone is healing well, my arm movement is improving as he would expect too so i need to relax and slowly do a little more each week to encourage flexibility.  I feel better after talking to him.

 Unbelievably it poured rain the day before and now it's a wintry weekend,  cool and breezy instead of the high 20's we would have expected.   Still nice though to be together, Scrabble, movies, and yesterday we went to a clearing sale. Such a country event,  utes parked up and down both sides of Channel Road in Curlwaa.   Marg Thomson's late husband Col's shedful of tools, equipment, farm vehicles.   A big event complete with sausage sizzle.   And the sun came out!

The kingfishers are in the garden every day

The skies

are as

gorgeous as

ever
