HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY FULL MOON!
The first full moon of 2022 turns full on Monday, 17 January.
I hope you all have a joyful week. Stay safe, everyone.
EDIT: Everyone check back to last week's thread to see Clare's beautiful photographs and also Lindy's lovely sunrise pics.
Morning all:
Lindybird: My life is just a bit more exciting than yours right now: Started a deep cleaning of the house yesterday - or was it the day before? Anyway, I'm taking it slowly and doing one room a day and stopping to investigate/file/fling things that have been piled on one surface or another for just a minute but which have been there for months. Bath mats may be on the agenda for Wednesday.... Will be interesting to see if the French follow through on their non-vax ban. My OH doesn't take aspirin, etc., either; prefers to creak about the house looking pained - go figure. My niece in the UK sent me all kinds of cartoons, etc., re Boris. One read "Credit where credit's due - turns out the government can organize a p*ss-up."
AQ: Hope the park wasn't too warm. Was watching Deutsche Welle last week and lady in Israel was complaining about the ever-changing recommendations from their health authorities, same here too. Wonder if Oz's three-year ban on deported people will be waived for Mr. D. Again, happy to see actions result in consequences. :-)
OG: Hope you are feeling even better today. :-) Our back gate is sporting multiple scratches from neighbors' cats.
dibnlib: I had to Google the breed - very cute. Another "water/lake dog".
Take care all.

OG - hear you have not been so good lately but do hope and pray that things will gradually get better for you.
It has been a roller coaster ride since he passed away. As we found an unauthorized amount taken out of his account ( which I found to be a scam ) we have had to shut his bank account down earlier than we wanted which means getting in touch with all his present accounts and trying to sort it out to go in my name. I have had to leave Dau and Son to do most of it as they are executors of the Will. We'll get there with time.
At least now we have a date of February 3rd. for the Funeral so can make the arrangements now .
Lynette: Good to see you, but sorry you've had financial complications - not unusual in these circumstances unfortunately. Hope your daughter and son can sort it out without too many problems. Good you got the funeral date set. Do take care!
Yesterday I met Travel Friend for a “picnic in the park”. Perhaps I should rename her Park Friend as we don’t travel with covid! I was lovely to sit outside, a cool 25 C, breezy, with water birds feeding beneath the gum trees. Most of the wetlands have dried out with one pond remaining. Ducks, waterfowl, spoonbills & lots of ibis. We took a sandwich and daringly entered the café for a takeaway coffee. I would like to repeat with other friends but I must pick the right day as hot weather is forecast for next week. Also I have promised Dau some free shopping time next week (last week of school holidays) and some R&R during her home-schooling weeks. OH has another dental appt, food shop to be done, oh, it is an exciting life!!!
Just a thought
Life is a boomerang. What you give, you get.
