So much for skiting that I was getting on top of things
last Sunday! Four of us had a lovely brunch at Boathouse Daylesford, including Wes, who arrived back from
delivering Barbara to Melbourne Airport. We both enjoyed catching up with Jan
Pengilley & Janine Hawker. By 1pm I was the one in bed, having caught some
sort of unpleasant germ from somewhere & there I stayed until Thursday,
when I started to make an appearance again.
Peace roses galore!
Wes gave the lawn a haircut, which enabled the birds to find
the seed we had been strewing for them, and started on the weeds, which have
enjoyed our absence. The weather got far too hot as the week progressed, and
neither of us attempted anything outside.
Apart from visiting Leanne on Thursday morning to help her
with a few chores, Wes stayed put. He has Barbara’s house, car & mail to
look after while she is away.
Longest word in the
world in Anglesey, Wales – translates as: “The Church of Mary in
the Hollow of the White Hazel near the Fierce Whirlpool and the Church of St
Tysilio by the Red Cave”
Yesterday, our neighbour, Rob, came in with mangoes &
an interest in hearing about our trip. We were delighted to see him & spent
a very pleasant hour talking about places like the Isle of Arran, Pitlochry
& the shows & plays we saw.
This little plaque in
Moulin suggests the Queen sat here once!
One of our favourite
walks in Pitlochry
The cricket has had us rivetted to the TV. We have been to
Adelaide for this Test for the last three years, but the Indian team refused to
play a pink ball day/night Test, so we had decided not to go, as Adelaide is
just too hot to spend all day at the cricket, even in the shade. The Indians
are looking in the box seat, but you never know – a couple of quick wickets
this morning & it could all change.
Karen outside the
gates of Glamorgan Cricket Ground, Cardiff – a place we would love to return
& explore further.
This morning I’m about to go to the Sunday Market &
stock up on fruit & vegetables for the next week. We are off to breakfast
at Boathouse, where we will be joined by Judi, and David & Sandy. Hopefully
everyone will have enjoyed some sleep after a cool night & some rain this
morning.
