Morning at Waitpinga beach.

A stunning autumn morning and a beautiful one over at Waitpinga. One of our best known surfing beaches and only a about 20 minutes from home. I am not really good enough on my feet to get down onto the beach but this is taken from the walk way which has lovely views. My hip has been not terribly comfortable so it was lovely to get out into the sun and fresh air. I dont know aout any one else but I am fed up with our Federal election and will be glad when it is over, tomorrow we vote. Not exactly looking forward to the results but we have managed to go through worse ones before. People can be so rude and nasty. I planted out a couple of plants this morning, a chrysanthemum that I got for mothers day and some succulents but now I need some more potting soil. Again!! My new little camera is ok, no where near as good as my old one but as I take them to the beach a lot I hope this one survives, I have sand in my extendable lens, still trying to sort it out but at least at the moment I have more or less worked out how to retrieve my photos after loading them onto the computer. Too many options I think. One day I may be able to afford another good camera. This one is a little panasonic, tiny, maybe a bit too small but at least I can take photos.

Well here are some photos from today and yesterday

I cant believe it, trying to find photos is so stressful. This is from two walks, beaches and sea, the first at Pt Elliot and the second here at the bay. I have had such a stress ful day with my hip killing me, Tabby and her John with medical problems and now this with finding my photos. Oh and I have a new camera as well. Going to sit quietly and hope I am not making a disaster with dinner.

Late afternoon walk.

We have just come home from a lovely afternoon walk over at Pt Elliot. Beautiful day, sunny and warm. John handing out how to vote cards again this morning while I started to get the backing on the baby blanket. Poor Tab didn't get her surgery done until after 5.30 and at the same time her poor John was admitted to the same hospital with stomach pains. Talk about drama. She is home and he home and J is not.I think all will be better tomorrow. All a bit of a worry. You never know what is around the corner.

Having problems with photos.

We have a new computer and my tried and true Picasa which I have used for years for my photos is no longer compatible. I am using Google photos but it is awful. Clumsy and I can't get my photos onto blogger. Facebook yes, blogger no. I do wish these bright young computer Wizz kids would leave well enough alone. I am too old to come to grips with it all. At least on my tablet I can work it. My latest orchid. I seem to be tired again, and aching. A change to more wintry weather I am afraid.

Nearly finished.

It is cold, windy and wet outside. This is when I miss a fire. Not a bad day to work on the baby blanket. I met his brother and mother while shopping this morning. Such a delight. I have been trying to decide wether to add more embroidery to the chickens or not. I have another 4 weeks until I need to finish it. The garden is loving this weather but I think what I want are warming soups and things like that. Even Max and George thought they should be fed early. After so many dry months it is lovely to have what looks like the start to a normal winter.

Yeaterday.

Sunny and warm around my garden of pots, today it is wet and windy and a bit cold. We managed an early morning walk on the beach but then the latest front came in. I do love my pots and I can move them if I have to. We are definetly heading into late autumn. Better get back to my baby blanket.

Around the garden

I was supposed to go to a foal show this morning, only up to Tabs and she would take me but I just couldn't manage it What a wuss. John and John have gone fishing. I hope they do better than I do. It is cold and I don't seem to be able to warm up. I shall do few domestic chores and then get on with a bit more of the baby blanket. I am adding a few red leaves, looking very cheerful. I do wish my body would get better. The trip to Adelaide for hair cuts really knocked me out for the next day. The orchids are starting to flower.
