9 AM Day Forty Nine

Getting sorted before the trip to Geelong for the day and to later to return and pick up Bronte and head to Aireys in time for Bookclub.

9 AM Day Forty Eight

The garden in Brooklyn is looking lovely and finally a sunny start to the day having had rain rain rain for the past two weeks

9 AM Day Forty Seven

Up in Brooklyn prior to the big day of Di's Salon and my sharing the skills to make/ craft tags.

9AM Forty Six

Camera and bird book at the ready beside the aspidistra. 

No wicker what-not in sight!

9AM Day Forty Five

Breakfast over (fruit toast, water and latte) and time to get on with the cryptic crossword to take my mind off the fact that Valentine's Day is here and no one really interested in sharing it with me.

9AM Day Forty Four

Gardening was one of my goals on returning to Australia and settling  in Aireys Inlet. A tad ambitious really given that a) it's a double block b) I have little or no gardening expertise and until recent time no great interest in pulling weeds.

However the herb barrow is proving to be a good way to start in small measure. I then bought the Vietnamese mint from Poppies in Anglesea. One of the gardeners there was very helpful in giving a quick lesson is how to harvest herbs. 

 

Posting on the 12th

Kate turns 21 this month. Since Maddy's 80th she has wanted to get back to The Flower Drum. Given here move to NZ for study.

The cow cake brought by Alex proved to be one of the highlights of the night given the challenge it was to cut the brownie crust which was a danger to the knives being used to cut it. 

And so to the everyday of the month...

A visitor to the garden that agitates Bronte 

 Bronte seems to dominate my photos particularly her antics while I am not home...proof that she doesn't remain off the couches.

Photos of the Lighthouse can be hit and miss particularly with the dog pulling on the lead that is hooked over my wrist in order to take the shot.

The first day of school and the boys over the road headed off together and by themselves.
