HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY FULL MOON! Please check back to last week's thread to view another installment of Lindy's descriptions and mesmerizing photos of her recent cruise. I've enjoyed them so much.
This week, the moon turns full on Tuesday, 14 June. It's the second of four consecutive supermoons, when the full moon of the month occurs as the moon is at or near perigee (its closest point to the Earth in its monthly orbit). If your skies are cloudy, you can watch the full moon rise online. Info is HERE at Space.com, a safe site.
I expect to have a lazy week myself, because Indiana will be part of the massive, record-breaking heat wave that's predicted to hit much of the U.S. My temperatures will be around 100F or 38C for several days, with high humidity. Take care, everyone.
One extra pic -- the pottery chicken I bought when in Flam!
He/she can remind me, on our kitchen windowsill, of our magical journey.
AQ: Those Gouldian finches are so beautiful. How is it that Oz has some many extraordinarily colorful birds! :-) Have you ever been to Darwin? Lindybird: A place that's "Happy with itself!" Lead the way. But wait a minute, just read about "bleak winters". Still, it all looks so green - and sunny those last days! Were the trees removed, obviously not for housing....? I see you found the Wine Shop in Lerwick (also the livestream camera). So sorry you lost a couple of days of bad weather and stomach issues. Still, absolutely gorgeous photos all the way through. Thank you SO much!! :-))
ANNETTE – I’ve never been to Darwin and no desire to do so. Too humid. Probably no old buildings since Cyclone Tracy flattened 80% of city χmas 1974.
Quiet & sunny - public holiday for HM’s b-day. OH came inside saying “Do you want to see the snake?” Not really. “It’s got legs.” OK. . . It was a wee lizard about 10 cm long, a “common garden skink”, sunning itself on the path. . .

Good Morning. A bit grey here again ( and that's just me!) Supposed to be drier and sunnier this week, but it may not warm up much until tomorrow. AQ - Thanks for the pretty finch yesterday, and the unusual skink today! Hope your OH enjoyed his birthday. I remember the awful events at Darwin, it was so shocking to see the damage. We put a lot of bedding plants into hanging baskets etc yesterday, and today I intend to finish up. Also the ironing pile has reached huge proportions, so must be tackled at least in part- I keep finding other things to do!
