Our mini-holiday


The weekend before last, Mum and I went to Lady Bay and stayed a couple of nights at The Links, the golf resort there.  We've had a weekend there before and the Gang of Four stayed there the Easter before last.  It's close to Normanville and Port Eliot so keeps us very happy.
The view from our room looking left, centre, right to the west and the sea.
Looking down
a bit of zen.
The morning before I drove home we had a little look at Melbourne Street.
I wanted to check on a sign I thought I'd seen while driving back from the Fleurieu Peninsular.
And then we had a coffee before my long drive east.

Empty Nest Syndrome

This phrase often comes into my mind as I struggle with my dashing new bras each morning.  I shall spare you the photos, but suffice to say I still think the lady at Bras and Things meant egg cups, not E Cup.  And sometimes I think of 'Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket', even though I could.

Hot Wednesday

Sometimes I think it's best to be at work when it's hot - as long as you have a comfy white-collar job, of course.  But Wednesday is my day off.  It's been hot for a while but today is the 3rd day over 40 degrees C and everything feels warm and clammy.  Here's a cuppla shots from my shade-hopping trip to the library and back.
The Crepe Myrtles are stunning this year - from the shade I could only take their trunks (perhaps they are about to go bathing...)
This one's cheating a bit but the bark on the crepe myrtle reminded me that I hadn't posted this photo of fungi on a tree-stump in Buronga about a month ago - shows how much rain we've had.
Back to Wentworth today.
One of our three pubs, with accompanying ute.
The window of Ruby's Cargo, doubtless styled by the inimitable Marg Whyte.
Another window at Ruby's - done out for Australia day.
Aren't reflections complicated???
