Lir , nice picture , don't mind being on the sea ? particularly on a cruise , never been sea sick even with waves breaking over the pointy end O/H does thou
Clari , yes you have jinxed the weather but only for moment
Hi everyone, just letting you know that I'm around. I Need to read back about 6 pages to catch up, and will do so Soon.
I've been zonked since our trip to Canberra on Wednesday. Such a bother for me nowadays. The Endodontist who looked at Hubby's teeth did a few things and said we'll get you back for the job. When are you available? stupid Hubby said, sooner rather than later, so his appt is for 8.45am Friday (Today). I thought about it and by lastnight said, do you mind going on your own, I'm still really tired from last time. So he left at 6.30am, rang a short while ago to reassure me that he is safely in the parking bay at the endodontists, so alls well. (Lots of yawns here between dozing off again).
We're back from dancing with clear skies and lots of sparkly stars up above. Not to last tho. Clouds and windy bits tomorrow. We're having a day off gardening and going to a spring fair after I've done a coat in the middle annex. Painting marathon here.
Lovely photo Liri. I'm fine on boats but can get seasick doing a Viennese waltz...... or even a Paso Doble if there are too many turns, as I discovered this evening.
Pat - hope you feel rested soon.
Sweet dreams all.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I found these acorns and leaves under a large tree in Canberra on Wednesday. Can anyone agree with me that it is Quercus variabilis (or not). I need to look at the trunk to see what the bark is like, but it's the nearest I can find that looks like it. The leaves are 5.5"" by 1.5". The acorns are very round when they come out of their cup.
Sorry, can't help on the identity of the tree Pat.
Nice sunny morning starting here - and looks like a dry weekend too. Thats good, as I have a long list of gardening jobs to do . One more day of mining to get out of the way first though
Morning all/afties Pat. Can't help with the tree either but those are beautiful acorns. Gorgeous shape.
Not read back yet, so no idea what you were all up to last night.
Wet and very windy at the front of the house last night, so it didn't keep me awake. Only wet now and breezy. Just as well Liri got across yesterday - her ferry is part of the 'disrupted service' today. Looked pretty 'disrupted' when she was on it too....
Forecast is pants here for the weekend
But it's Friday chicky - it's all good!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Catch you all later when I've read all your news.
Hello Pat - take it easy today- put your feet up - we're just off to bed so I'll leave you to read up on our doings and will see you in the morning

Good morning all
G'day Pat 
Not a tree I know - sorry Pat.
It's beautifully sunny in the east and dark grey in the west. The forecast says cold windy and showery.
It may be a day to stay indoors and make biscuits and watch the Gold Cup. ... and of course, happy St Patricks Day to all our Irish friends
Have a good day Chicky - it's Friday!

Hmm now the weather man is saying no rain here today - just up north (sorry).
But Saturday and Sunday will be wet and windy everywhere ... apparently ...
