I may have done something wrong.

some confusion

It was our 63rd wedding anniversary on Monday, can't find a photo but these orchid flowers are just coming out, so pleased. The Thai eggplants are almost in glut at the moment, there are so many of them. John has made the most delicious pickle from them. They do better here than any other egg plant we have tried. I have finally cut back the roses but thank goodness they keep on flowering. We keep walking and driving around the bay. It got a bit hot but has thank goodness cooled down a bit for a couple of days. My feet swell in the heat. For our anniversary it was hot so we stayed home and drank champagne, had a crayfish salad followed by strawberries and ice cream. More than enough and delicious I have been having trouble getting into blogger, again! I think it is because they keep asking for my password and sometimes John changes it, then can't remember what he changed it too. Oh well I am in now but what was that password again?!

Warming up

These photos are from the last few days, shells collected from the beach, a trip over to Goolwa on a damp day and the bits of blue crockery I have collected on the beach. None today but quite a lot of glass fragments. Not good for bare feet. It is amazing how much we find. We have had some lovely damp and drizzly days, not many but nice to have some. Now it is warming up again so early beach walks. We avoid going where there are people as at least 80 odd people have covid in our area, more and more. My Woolworth grocery order cannot be delivered until Thursday instead of Tuesday and quite a few things were not available. Goodness knows what my order will look love by Thursday. Little things are getting AA bit of a worry. Thank goodness the garden is giving us vegetables and we make our own bread and the freezer has a reasonable amount in it. We have been warned that deliveries are being affected. I will be glad when this is over.

Christmas Day

Now Boxing day. Watching the start of the Sydney Hobart Yatch race. Yesterday was interesting. We had an early beach walk. I have been struggling with an infected spot in my groin which decided to finally burst. Not a terribly good day as I am also recovering from the effects of my booster shot. We did manage prawns and salad followed by raspberries, we don't eat much these days.I seem to sleep a lot. It was a shame to miss friend Ps 88th birthday on the 24th but we just couldn't manage it. That booster really hit us. I hope all my blog friends had a lovely Christmas. This wretched plague is really making things difficult for us all. We did a late drive over to Parsons Beach yesterday. The southerly winds have made for a lovely view of the beach. A bit cool but much better than very hot. Sorry I can't manage any more.

Angels wings and cards

My angels finally had their wings attached so they are now finished. I also started making some cards using some papers I had painted cutting out trees, easy and fun. I am feeling very tired at the moment,not sure why, we had quite a long beach walk this morning which was lovely but more tiring than I expected. Trying to tie up presents and work out what more I need. We have had lovely cool weather but it is going to warm up over the week end. I am afraid I don't cope very well with the heat anymore.

It has been a while

And on top of that John had reset the Google password and not told me. So many frustrations. I am once more making Christmas cakes. I have finished off the little knitted rabbit, he is now all dressed. Fb has had a few painted gnomes as a theme and here is the one I did and I am also making, or rather embroidering more birds for my file fowl book. A trip over to Waitpinga beach, late Sunday afternoon. I love those lines of waves. A visit from the nurse from the local doctors surgery to make sure we old people are coping. I think we are but it is good to be checked up on. I am heartily sick of this recurring covid drama. We are booked in for a booster in a couple of weeks. No Melbourne family again for Christmas I would imagine with all the uncertainty over border closures. I am slowly getting presents together but I am so much slower than usual. I will try to blog a bit more.

Around and about

I seem to get worse at posting, a lovely few days wandering. We went across to Normanville on Wednesday and to Pt Elliot today. Days seem to be going fast and I think Christmas will be here before I know it. At least I have more or less organised the sea food for Christmas day. I am watching Love Actually again and John has gone off in disgust! I am finishing off the latest rabbit. I have nearly finished sewing up the latest knitted animal. I will start cooking cakes next week. Busy, busy.
