    1.20pm. I'm told it was minus 5 not minus 2 today, but we've got a clear sunny day, cool, but no clouds

     Photo just prove it.  

    Left madam at home while we went shopping this morning and we are very subdued now on the lounge beside me, but sprawled on my lap rug.  She doesn't like to be left out of these adventures.  The trouble is that just lately she has started this panting caper as soon as she gets in the car and she pants all the way to town and back (50km return trip), and nothing I do will make her stop and it drives us crazy.image

    Flumpy, just called up the "wanted down under" site.  I think we have seen something similar several years ago, but can't remember the title. I'm glad you're enjoying it.  It must be hard for people to make such a change, as well as leaving family and friends. 

    My visitors from last week have a son-in-law who has just made the change in the last year. He married an Australian (our friend's daughter who had been living in the UK for several years). When they had their baby, they decided to move to Australia, I suppose for grandparents, etc. I believe that the husband is from Bristol, Marion, and  his family must be missing them.  That photo I send ages ago of the little trousers I knitted, were for them.  They seem settled, have bought a house, he got a job that he seems to like, and they have access to free babysitters from family (both great grandma, grandma and grandpa, as well as cousins, aunties and uncles. 

    The BBC site I looked up, also mentioned follow ups on some of them, so I might get hubby to download it so that we can watch on TV.  This mini IPad is hopeless for stuff like that.

    good morning to all when you wake up.image

    Photo just now of the "mothers club" about 8 kangaroos all with full pouches who arrive late in the day for some grass.  The photo is probably a bit dark, but you might be able to see some of them

    Hello Pat and Marion image, it's still raining cars and dogs here and will be until this afternoon in the NW image, so think I'm gonna finish sorting my wardrobe out and I'm hoping the plumber is gonna turn up this afternoon as The shower is ice cold.

    i've been watching the wanted down under revisited and three families so far have moved over, but they all have a trade, I'm a pharmacy Dispenser but apparently this job didn't give me enough points, if your a pharmacy technician then that gives you enough points, but my works won't let anyone do the course so that's put a stop to my career image.

    that picture looks lovely with the clear blue sky just need the temperature to rise a bit image.

    i have planted Radish seeds about three days ago in my greenhouse and would you believe they are already germinating image

    Thanks Flumpy. How do you do it?  I've tried putting my finger on it and also twisting, etc, but nothing works.

    At last I woke to steady rain in Bristol.  Forecast says it will remain till 5pm so waterbutts should be filling up.  There is a small puddle above the soakaway but the water table is no way high enough for it to stay.  It will be gone as soon as the rain stops no doubt.  The birds like it as a birdbath in the hot weather usually but have only seen one blackbird have this treat this summer so far.  I am expecting my Maid Marion Rose today.

    Go to your photo, tap on your picture, edit should come up in right top corner, press edit, then in your left bottom corner it should say rotate, so rotate, then save and repeat again and put it at the right angle and save image Hope that helps Pat image

    The rain had stopped so i took out my camera to snap my rain refreshed flowers and the rain started again before I had left the shelter of the garden umbrella.  Ah well perhaps later in the afternoon.
