I forgot to tell you that, when I visited Stapleton House, I took a Cox's Pippin with me as a gift for Trish. She was very amused. She has 3 dogs, one of whom is a Red Heeler called Pippin.
Yesterday I indulged in a little drive to Ridgeway to 'Plants of Tasmania' nursery in anticipation of when I can implement my local plants garden. Afterwards I stopped at the Bean's to drop off a cuppla plants I'd potted up for her. She's another one with quite nice views.
This is Mt St Canice where I worked for a few years at the Migrant Centre. It did not seem so grand at the time. Now it is an Aged Care residence.
I also thought I'd have a look at the flat I lived in in the mid 70s just down the road from the casino. It was the one on the left, upstairs. It was unrendered back then and looked just like the one on the right. We had to move because the owner put it on the market and we couldn't afford to buy it at $45,000.
I loaned Mel this book and she immediately went home and embellished her couch with fabric and Amber. I love Amber because she reminds me of both Emma Louise Augustine Touchwood Sunflower Flowerdogolopolis Mars and Rosie Burglar Gladstone-Bag.
Lady Jayne sent me a card with a stirring message, but I can't take my eyes off the shorts.
Just like the ones I wore in Macau in 1987. Tempus fugit. And fortunately so did those shorts.
Some thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSuch a Snow White apple!!
Love the art deco flat. Bet it's a bit more than $45,000 now.
The rainbow card is gorgeous - as are the Bermuda shorts.
As are the shorts in Macau though I see more leg than shorts.
Perhaps you can replicate that pose - at the Gate House - though it doesn't quite have the view of Macau.
