OK..peoples..slight technical hitch (as usual). I did a silly thing when I wrote this post. I posted it on the wrong blog, and thought I was very clever copying it, deleting it (and All the photos) and then pasting it onto this blog! However, if one deletes photos from a blog, it gets deleted wherever it appears...hence a strange no photo blog here(as blogger says that they can disappear anytime over the next 24 hour period), which is why some of you may have seen them when it was first posted here...I know I did... and others missed out on the photos!

So just to be fair..and to make it a little less strange...I am putting a few of the photos back in...but unfortunately they will not be in the right places...and there aren't as many..hooray did I hear someone say?

So please bear with me, if this post reads or appears a little strange. As you know we do learn from our mistakes, so hopefully this won't happen again. If it does, just tell me to give up blogging..and I probably will!

I may try to do away with the crazy blank spaces, but somehow I don't like my chances! Of course if any of you have first hand knowledge of these happenings, well I know you will be just dying to let me know how to get rid of them! And you could also tell me why lexulous (that is another word for scrabble) isn't working for me this morning. [Have they been banned again, or handed another lawsuit]? Otherwise just relax and know it will never happen again..ha!

[BTW...that's my frangipani back up there at the top..as well as Mum and Dad's hoya...and the colorful playground equipment all mentioned below]!

ps I discovered that the little blank boxes were easy to eradicate...so that is good..have done away with a lot of them..have left a few to show you what a mess it was!

I don't know whether the people who read this blog , that is , if there are any, also read my other blog, where I feature flowers , and skies, and other phenomenon. So I thought I would just share a couple of flowers with you. The frangipani are starting to flower away out there, and are looking very pretty. The pink one out the front in particular.

Mum and Dad's HOYA is still flourishing too...and flowers periodically. There are quite a number of flowers on it!!


I had to drag myself out to the shops today, so I wouldn't keep reading my brains to train oil! Found a second hand interesting book at Toowong when I went to the dentist the other day...about a girl who was a "stolen" aboriginal girl , and her story of her life. It is very interesting. Have you heard the expression.."reading your brains to train oil" . Mum used to say it to the bookworms in our family, especially when there were jobs to do!

On the way home from the shops today, I went out to Mandalay, to have a look see. It is quite some time since I was last out there. In fact I am wondering if I took Mum out there for a look one day.It is so lovely beside the river there.

And the park had a lake in it...I don't remember the lake!

And very colorful play equipment.

There were horses grazing in a paddock nearby. All very rural.

I was watching a large white thing in the lake, as well as a pelican! A long way from home!

The white thing turned out to be a dog...a white retriever! It was having a lovely time...chasing the bird life. Of course it didn't stand a chance. But oh what fun!

The pelican just sailed around very majestically.

Of course I had to take a drive past the (koala sanctuary..see photo above)! Must go there one day...might wait for some grandchildren to take with. Guess it probably costs the earth too!

My frangipani were making a great contrast against the dark sky this afternoon when I got home! Dark storm clouds approaching...and lovely rain. Fortunately we seem to have missed any electrical storminess.

Tonight in between having to turn off the computer and tv for storms around, I have been trying to watch Wallace and Gromit on channel 7, the news on channel 2 during the ads, wash up, and download some photos for this post! Multi tasking doesn't suit me! Oh and have a lovely skype chat to my sister in the meantime..she was serving dinner for her family, watching tv, and talking to me on her new little laptop! A much better multi tasker than me...she would have to be one of the best!

Hope you like Wallace and Gromit too!
