HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY FULL, BLUE, SUPERMOON!
The moon turns full in:
LONDON, UK on 19 August at 7:25 p.m.
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA on 20 August at 3:55 a.m.
CALIFORNIA on 19 August at 11:25 a.m.
This moon is a rare event, because it's the first of 4 Supermoons (close to Earth) and it's a Blue moon (the 3rd of 4 full moons in a single season).
I hope it ushers in a good season for everyone. Love and hugs to all!

Just a few pics from our holiday
Lynette - some very familiar scenes there. I am a member of the zoo so go regularly. Has to be said I avoid the school holidays though. Glad you enjoyed it. Sounds like a great place to stay near Tarporley.
A magnificent flower indeed, Annette. Worth waiting for.
Lynette, glad you enjoyed your Cheshire holiday. The weather has been very mixed here, so you were unlucky in some ways.
We looked for the Orange moon but Alas!! Way too cloudy for anything.
2 new garden chairs arrived today, as sent for them in the end of season Sale. Very pleased with them & so light to carry.
Edit: AQ, glad you got your paper, in the end!! It drives me crazy that these days you can't speak to an actual person when you have a query or a complaint...
Sounds like a lovely day out Lynette. So glad you had a good time - how was the Beatles tour?
Thank you LYNETTE, so glad that you enjoyed your holiday despite the weather.
Dynamite and very affecting speech from Michelle Obama last night that included, as one commentator noted, 'the take-down of Donald Trump people have been waiting for...." Barack's speech wasn't too shabby either and Harris's husband gave a sweet and funny speech about Kamala.
Meanwhile, President Biden is here in our area - the Santa Ynez Valley - for a few days R&R. His plane is parked across the road at SB Airport. I puttered by and took a photo.... Wouldn't mind waving at him when he leaves if we hear when that is...
Annette - I heard the Obama’s speeches on the World Service last night. I thought they were excellent. I also heard that President Biden was holidaying in California. Didn’t know he had come to visit you!!!!!!!!
