HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
ANNETTE – Love the shaggy-legged palms. And the gorgeous wildflowers. I sympathize with you & tooth. I had a tooth that dentist managed to save for 10 years, finally it was past its use-by-date. The gap (at back) doesn’t bother me, in fact I can now eat raw carrot & nuts without fearing a breakage.
OG – I would have trouble assessing modern poems – they don’t rhyme, lines are different lengths – but I never was much good at poetry or English at school!
HEATHER – I am coming out of my summer “hibernation” as the weather drops to cool nights (in teens) and warm days (low 30s)
Yeay! Linda is back WELCOME HOME LINDA.
Today is Harmony Day, celebrating Aussieland’s cultural diversity. So the children at Miss7’s school dress in their national costume. The (few) Aussies wear orange. Dau is dreading having to find 3 orange outfits next year when Trio are all at school. Our national costume would be, er, jeans & t-shirt.
Evening all: Got zapped by dermatologist this morning, so will look like I stepped in front of a BB gun for a week. :-( Lindybird: Welcome home! :-) OG: Loose clothes? I wonder what that feels like. I imagine poems are trickier to edit because there's likely more "ego" involved on the part of the poet. Heather: Oh dear, I missed International Happiness Day! (It's Harmony Day in OZ, says AQ). Not a word about either here. When does your radiator arrived - that's impressive customer service! dibnlib: Sounds like a nice week for meeting up with old friends. AQ: I already have one gap near the problem tooth so would prefer not to lose this one. Here's a silly question: What is OZ's national costume? Diane: Hope your weather isn't too bad. Also, we still haven't heard from bjane - do you have any idea where she might be with regard to the floods? Have a good Thursday everyone.
Good Morning. There is a veritable cornucopia of spring blossoms out of my bedroom window - my Stellata is opening, my neighbours beautiful pink Magnolia tree is in full bloom, and my daffodils are all out! Tired after our journey home yesterday, although all went well. My OH has gone off to play golf, and I have the sad task of making some phone calls regarding the death of my dear friend. We managed to keep in touch with what was going on whilst away, by phone and text.
G died peacefully in her sleep after keeping the family by her bedside for several days: they had all just left to get themselves some dinner in the evening, when they were called back by the staff as her daughter said "She thought she'd go whilst it was nice and quiet."
OG: Dermatologist froze off potentially problematic pieces - the usual procedure. The skin just scabs over for about a week. Not sore at all, I told her I hoped I would be back to my normal looking self before travelling to Fresno where I'll see folks I haven't seen in decades! Lindybird: Let us know how G's OH is doing. Is their family close by? Off to hose off before the dentist. Such an exciting life....
