    Thank goodness you found it @Nanny Beach. I would have been in a total panic too.
    Goodnight all.

    Did your dog have a big smile on his face, NannyB ?  He might have worked out how to keep you home. 😁

    Glad you and Wonky had a good day Dove. 

    I had a laugh this morning. When I opened the curtains, there was a group of Choughs noisily wandering up towards the bird feeder when suddenly there was a loud carry on and much scattering. Then I saw two magpies trying to herd them in another direction. Wings fluttering everywhere and the Choughs headed for the feeder. Perhaps they feel safe there. 😁 They we’re wasting their effort though, the feeder had already been vacuumed by them yesterday and I haven’t been down there to replenish it yet. 

    Our trio of Roos are not in evidence today. They must have found another morning sun spot. 

    The cheerful weather man advised that on Sunday, it would be minus 5 in Canberra. That means we can take a bit more off for our area. 🙄 They had a light snow fall in Perisher and Thredbo overnight. Seems as though autumn isn’t going to happen. Straight to winter. Oh well, I’d rather that than 30+ days. I can always put more clothes on.

    Hope you all have a good sleep.

    Hubby took a photo of our afternoon sunset yesterday. I hope it’s not too big.


    Sorry it’s sideways.

    Morning @Pat E lovely sunset. I know if you crop the photo, even a tiny bit it will load the right way up. We still have yet more rain forecast, but it's not cold, just frustrating watching the poor young plants getting beaten about. 

    All my artists are bringing their artwork today so we can get it on the walls before opening, hanging baskets and tubs have been made, all getting very close to opening now, I am just praying for sunshine.

    Morning folks,had my first cuppa,it was still cold,buy washing is done. Forecast is showers all day (economy 7 so tumble dryer) mind you it's said that all week, Wednesday night yesterday morning it was raining, cleared up mid morning. My friends in Essex have heating on,! It's 14c in my conservatory,17c indoors,in winter the heating would be on 18c, they aren't gardeners,do they are a delicate lot. Never thought to look under the dogs blanket,it's not very big. The place looks gorgeous DD

    Good morning all. 
    Up at 6 and oh, the joy of feeling hot radiators. 
    WAY too cold for my liking.

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 
    gorgeous sunset @Pat E
    glad the dog gave your purse back @Nanny Beach ... at least he didn’t go shopping with it 😉 

    I went to bed early last night really tired after my lovely day out ... I’m not used to concentrating for that long ... the traffic was really quite busy. I’ve posted some photos on the gallery thread ... I forgot to crop the first one so had to edit ... but @D0rdogne_Damsel was quicker than I was and beat me to it 😂

    What are the odds Dove, I absolutely gutted the place, it definitely wasnt anywhere it should or shouldnt have been. I was certain I hadnt removed it from my hand bag the previous day. Its the first time this year, (well or last year as well) I actually took a handbag out with me, purse and this new phone, (never thought of that, my Nokia was tiny) dont fit in a pocket. Glad you had a good day out, have enjoyed my last 2, I think with all the looking after other folks needs I really needed some "me" time!!

    Your place is looking lovely DD. Congrats, especially given how much else you’ve done. 👏 Morning Dove and NannyB.

    I'm kinda bored with the rain now.
