Sending every good wish that Narrelle improves daily, Amelia. What good news that she is home!
It seems Skye is having a wonderful adventure, Plum. Norway is a beautiful country and the people are wonderful. I'm sure it will be hard for her to leave.
Well, must get on with my exciting day. I'm cleaning bathrooms and doing laundry.
Boardwalks make trail walking a lot easier.
Hello all and happy Topsider Sunday and welcome to your Down-Under Monday!
Hope Denny will be reporting exciting accomplishments in his Cribbage Finals!
Thanks, Keith - that extremely lengthy website with spaces to remove was more than I wanted to decipher - haha!
Plum, I'm curious about your being able to type all those Norwegian names with the accents, etc. - do you have a special keyboard, copy & pasting - just how are you doing this???
Sunny and still too hot.
A bit of rain would be welcome!
Hope your day is filled with sunshine - or rain if you need it!
Well then, Joyce, just Google bottle brush. It should connect you to the same pictures I was looking at. Point being that there are a lot of flowers in that Genus that look similar, but only the one looks exactly like a brightly colored bottle brush. We had one in our yard when I was a kid.
Just got back from my Cribbage tourney. I won my first match 3Games to 2, lost second 2-3. Yesterday I was in the top 1/4 of 60 players thus qualifying to head-to-head playoffs. Making it to the second round meant I was in the top eight.
Morning all, we have a temperature of 0.0 degrees Celsius hoping to get to 17 degrees later.
Thank you , Kathy. I will pass on your message when I see her today.
Ha-ha! I hear no gallumping.......so!
Ambles off with smug grin!
Peter is making it difficult for Keith, in fact quite a few people vie with Keith for 22. Peter should be happy that his Brumbies had a big win at the weekend. Not so good for the Cats though.
It was minus 7Celsius here this morning. It will struggle into the low teens later in the day, but should be quite sunny.
Our national broadcaster, the ABC has been running a program called Back Roads looking at small towns around Australia. This week it was some tiny town that I had never heard of, and can't remember. But their main tourist attraction, a large bronze statue of a wombat. People were crawling all over it. Did you see it on your visit to Oz Keith?
Australians have a penchant for large tourist attractions ranging from the Big Merino in Goulburn, the Big Trout, the Big Banana, the Big Pineapple, the Big Prawn and the Big Bull at Rockhampton. There are probably more of them.
Some of these are large enough to house souvenir shops, tourist centres and other enterprises. I'm waiting for some town in East Gippsland to have a statue of a Giant Earthworm. They are truly gigantic.
Oh and that is a CP.
These earthworms average one metre in length and reach up to 3 metres They are endangered and are inly found in Gippsland, Victoria, Australia an area with a heavy rainfall, heavy soils and big trees.
Ghost post from yesterday above.
Though it is still pertinent today.
I seem to have caught a cold. First one for several years.
A CP by default by including the ghost post. I'll take it and toddle off. See you later.
Joyce - I have an iPhone with a keyboard where if I press and hold a letter instead of simply tapping it then accented options for that letter magically appear in a line above my finger. I can then swipe across to the accented letter I'm looking for. Really neat!
Wombat - I sent in my answers.
They probably won't put Back Roads on Netflix in the US, but I'll watch it if they do.
Hooray, Amelia. Hug Narrelle for us.
Funny, DorA. And, surprisingly, clean. I had to read it aloud for others.
