On Saturday evening we went to St. George Leagues for tea and then had a flutter on the pokies.  It was amazing to see the amount of money peoples were putting into the machines.  We were lucky and came
away $10 richer.
Cleaned out Katrina's old room and put in a divan bed and as you can see, John was reading the paper but was so comfortable he fell asleep.  He doesn't look comfy.  Couple of little tables and more photos for the wall will complete it as it looks a bit bare at the moment.

Don't birthdays come around quickly, but then that day too has gone and so for the next year.  I had a good day at computers and then Pat came over with cake.  It was a nice surprise.  I have spent some time in the garden and the raspberries are just ripening, the tomatoes growing tall but the lettuce has bolted.  Spring onions and garlic need to be picked soon and now waiting for the potato plants to die off so can harvest the veggie.  There is lots of spinach (mainly for the chooks) growing with the serpent cucumber climbing up the lattice, the flowers just coming out. 
Problem with the chooks is that one is laying eggs with only membrane and so all are eating this egg.  I have given lots of grit and even put a caltrate tablet in the water but still it happens.  They have to this weekend to stop or they go. 

We have been searching high and low for a lecturn even travelling to Newcastle, but now we are lucky to have one for our dictionary.  It fits well in the kitchen corner and the book is accessible and safe. 

2 Books, 2 watches and cake for John, Happy Birthday.

 With the walking group we did the Sculpture Walk  which was better than last year, I thought.  There was a building near the beginning of the walk where miniture sculptures of the large ones were displayed and enjoyed seeing both sizes.  This first
photo of a family of zebras was very effective.








we had just passed Waverly cemetary.

These lions were made by weaving cane, just like baskets.  It was an excellent day and after morning tea at Tamarama, we continued the walk to Coogee and then a bus and train home.
