Always something interesting in the Leura Mall shop windows . . .

matina, all is pretty much OK here today. 25 degrees and sunny. I have a visitor coming at 3 pm. Hope your own Sunday goes OK. I know it will be difficult.

Katy, wow! Now that's the kind of kilt I can relate to! Hope you enjoy today's outing. I'm happy to stay at home and enjoy my fuzzies.

Bye for now, everyone . . .

Leaving you some yellow roadside flowers . . .

matina, hope you've enjoyed your dinner and can have a quiet and restful evening. I'll send you more pictures of my grandniece and her gingerbread house when they arrive!

Katy, that big storm blew through here too. In fact, it's still a bit windy. Temperature dropped about ten degrees. No damage done in my neighbourhood, though. Thanks again for the great snow-cat photo!

My 2 pm visitor wore me out. Stayed until 5:30 . . . and then I had a nap!

Rishi and I are now enjoying my favourite recliner chair.

Photos from the Pool of Siloam walk off the end of my street.

matina, I've recovered after yesterday's long afternoon . . . friend of a friend who had lost his partner . . . I think he needed someone to talk to. I went straight to bed afterwards and had a long time. Only 16 degrees this morning, but nice and sunny. Sunnya and I spent some time out in the backyard and it was really quite warm, so long as I stayed out of the breeze. Hope you enjoy your massage!

Katy, I've never regretted retiring up here. It's even better than I expected. And of course, I'm right next to the NP, so I can just stroll out of my driveway and into the bush. There are two good lookouts on either side of my house (because I'm down near the Point) so I can easily take visitors for beautiful views even if they don't want to walk far. And of course Sublime Point is the best view in the mountains, so they say.

Bye for now, everyone!

HELLO ALL!
PJ I think your holding out on us and giving us snippets of how the gingerbread house is being assembled i know you have a completed photo of it so cough it up stop the suspense and teasing us!;-)
KATHY yes an nice massage today and i finally spent most of the afternoon on the phone with medicare as i couldn't lodge the tele consult for dad so he can get reimbursed for the service after spending half the afternoon on the phone and ringing up twice i finally managed to get a lovely lady on the phone and she was patient and kind and waited till we did all that a breath of fresh air and it is so hard to find really nice people who want to help others out and enjoy their job. ahhh just like it used to be where customer service was just that.
time for coffee and then expecting a friend over for dinner.
be safe everyone and god bless and be with you all

Here's this afternoon's view across the street into the Jamison Valley . . . looking through a gum tree for an artistic effect!

matina, really . . . that's all the photos I have so far! I'm afraid the gingerbread house might already have been eaten by the family! Glad you had a nice massage and finally found a nice person at Medicare to help you. Once, years ago, when I was having trouble with Centrelink, I was put through to Centrelink Hobart (the Australian international Centrelink) and they were absolutely great. You tend to remember those wonderful helpers . . .

Just gave the birds a tiny late afternoon feed (something I don't do often) and attracted a couple of crimson rosellas. Haven't seen them for a while.

Screen door open and a nice breeze is flowing through . . . lovely early summer's day . . . sun slowly setting over Katoomba.

matina, what are you doing today? Windy here, but very sunny . . . I was able to sit in a sunny spot, accompanied by Sunnya, in the backyard, and it was quite nice out of the wind. Could be that I drive over to the PO after 4 pm to see if I have any packages.

Katy, I didn't receive any new photos overnight, so I suspect that the gingerbread house is gone! They're enjoying quite a few pre-Christmas activities over there, including an evening parade with police cars, fire engines and decorated floats. Eleven more days to go!

lynesi, good to hear from you. Weather is warming up nicely here on the other side of the planet.

Bye for now . . .
