I am still having problems with getting photos from my camera to the computer so a few photos I took on the tablet. I found the angel when going through boxes, I made her a few years ago and was pleased to see her. Now on the wall. The Christmas stocking I made, I now have 2 green ones as well and a bunch of little people, half dressed. I am a bit further on with them now. We have been walking but I feel a bit off today so only one walk. My sinus have been a bit uncomfortable.
I am not terribly good with cactus but this tiny fellow had a flower at the market and I had to have it. My dancing ladies orchid is flowering even more. So pleased. The weather has been all over the place, a bit more rain over night. We did manage 2 walks yesterday. Trying to avoid the school leavers who are down in their thousands for the week end. Listening to the sound of distant drums! So glad we are not terribly close to the caravan parks which are full to overflowing. The week end is pretty well controlled now which is good but even so teenagers just out of school can be unpredictable. I have sewing to do.
It is blowing a gale outside, you can't really tell but the tree over the road is being battered. We walked this morning before the wind and rain but wasn't very pleasant. My poor little front garden had a lovely drink. 7 mm but is now drying out again. The orchids inside are doing well, the moth orchid is really fleeing beautifully ad the oncidium I brought back from the Gold Coast is flowering, such a surprise as I really didn't think it would. So pleased. It has just gone very dark and pouring with rain, and it is really quite cold. More wind, hail and rain for cast for tomorrow too. I have been clothing my little angels and another 5 little bodies are ready to be sewn up. So glad we walked this morning.
My photo files are a mess but at least I got these up from this afternoons walk on the cliffs. The flies were bad and I keep forgetting to spray myself. Or at least my hat. We saw another sleepy lizard by the path but again it was too fast for me. We had just over 15 mm of glorious rain this morning and it has cooled down a lot. The garden has suddenly perked up. I have been sewing clothes for little bodies. When they are done I am aiming for another 5 and then that should be it. Feeling rather tired after last night, too hot and not very comfortable. I really dont do very well in the hot weather and feel so much better when it has cooled down.
We had a busy week end several walks but John played with my camera and Picasso and now I can't find my photos. Grr. So these are off my tablet. Saturday night we went to the end of season hay party at the old shearing she'd. Lovely to catch up with people but we didn't stay for very long. I did learn I am to be a great grandmother again.Hoping for a girl this time. I am not sure I can keep up with them all! Yesterday we went to a friends place, for lunch. Lovely food and old friends, she has a lovely garden full of roses and I came home with a few. The smell is divine. Very hot today. We are supposed to have a change to night and they are promising rain. When I see it I wii believe it, it would be lovely to have a decent rain, we are so dry and we have months of summer to come. I am making another batch of small bodies, when they are done perhaps I will ,ake more, they are such fun to do.
These photos are a bit of a muddle as we walked over at Pt Elliot this morning and then around the river tonight. As you can see on the last photo the river had broken through to the sea, it had got higher and higher and then went. There were lots of sea gulls and two pelicans. This morning it was lovely but I did a much bigger walk than I meant to. It was a beautiful day, cool and so pleasant to get out and about. I pulled weeds in the garden but it really is so dry, watering with a hose just doesnt do what a decent rain will do. Overcast and a slight drizzle for most of the day but it didnt amount to anything. Just a beautiful day for living. I have sorted out another 5 doll bodies to be sewn up possibly tomorrow. I am still finishing the 6 I have finally dressed. A lot more to do.
The sparrows are in my corn flowers, I have never grown them before but they were given to me. Love the colours. First roses from the bush and some geraniums. Have always had flowers in the house and it was really frustrating last year not having flowers to pick.
