My friend is having some adventures on her cruise

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 2h

We have a friend who is on a cruise with a group of her friends. They’ve been to Peru, Antarctica, Falkland Islands and now they’re on an island off the coast of Africa. They organised a day tour but instead of the expected...

Our plans have the hiccups

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 2h

I’ve talked about our upcoming trip to Ireland. I haven’t talked about the hiccups which have occurred over the last few days. To cut a long story short, our son has been waiting on a new passport. Meanwhile his visa ran out,...

No flowers but cop this colourful Amaranthus foliage

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 12h

A myLotter had asked to see photos of my sister’s garden. We didn’t take so many photos last time but she did have some very lovely amaranthus plants. These are herbaceous plants or shrubs and can be either annual or perennial...

Leftover lunch snacks

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 22h

Warning: This discussion is not about food! We listen to a lot of classical music and sometimes make guesses about who might have composed a piece we’re listening to. Vince is much better at this than I am. At the end of the...

Shank's pony - or maybe not

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Mar

I found something to write about which gives me an excuse to put up some more horse photos from the endurance ride. I used to assume myLotters would know most of the terms I did but I’m much more hesitant now. So have you heard...

A horse with measles

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Mar

The title is a joke! Here is another photo from the endurance ride we attended recently. The veterinary surgeon is checking the horse to make sure it is fit to complete. The markings on the upper neck show that it is a...

Endurance ride participants

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Mar

I’ve made up a collage from the horse endurance ride that we attended yesterday. It was held in a little place called Wilga which was once a timber town. There is a small settlement there and every month or so they have a fish...

Three in the morning and only half-awake

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Mar

It’s 3.30am and very unusual for me to be up at this time but I can’t sleep so thought I’d post something then go on with processing the 200+ photos I took at the endurance ride yesterday. Vince has already started on his. I’ll...

Little-known facts (maybe) about Formula 1 racing cars

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Mar

F1 racing car driver, Daniel Ricciardo, was born in Perth, Western Australia, so it might not be a surprise to find one of his racing cars in the Whiteman Park Motor Museum in our state. I must admit I didn’t take a lot of notice...

Visiting my sister

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Mar

We’ve just returned from visiting my sister. We went to see the latest baby goat arrivals and they are very pretty with tiny little squeaky voices. We took a casserole for lunch and my sister had made a potato pie. We also...

Going to see the goats - and my sister - today

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Mar

We’re off to see my sister today. She is eight years older than I am and lives about an hour away. She lives with one of her five sons and they have a goat stud. Her grandchildren distinguished her from other grandparents by...

We might start planning a trip to Bali

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 22 Mar

The photo is of another creation in the town of Boddington, Western Australia. It has nothing to do with the discussion. We’ve just come home from a visit to Vince’s brother, the second eldest, who, at 83, is on his way home to...

A Wonder of a film

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Mar

The photo is of some of the ethnic dancers at the Harmony Day we attended. The little boy loved his sword!! After the entertainment, we watched the film, Wonder, on a blow-up screen. The adult leads were Julia Roberts and Owen...

A round-the-wrong-way blow-up screen

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Mar

At the finish of the Harmony Day that we attended recently in Treeby, Western Australia, the film, Wonder, was shown on a blow-up screen. They had trouble getting the generator to work and in the end they ran an extension cord...

What's a powder monkey?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Mar

The photo shows another of the interesting items in the main street of Boddington, Western Australia but it doesn’t relate to the rest of the story. I wrote about a friend being a powder monkey so then of course I needed to...

A sad visit today

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Mar

The photo is another of the ‘sculptures’ which can be seen in the town of Boddington, Western Australia. I really love this one with the cement mixer bowl featuring as the back end of the ant. We’re making a sad visit today to...

A scrap metal helicopter and blooming heather

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Mar

The photo was taken in Boddington, Western Australia, on our way home from a school reunion. The ‘helicopter’ is made from scrap material but isn’t it cleverly done? The rest of this discussion is about something else...

On our way home from a high school reunion we went through the town of Boddington (pop. 1,900) is 123 kilometres (76 mi) southeast of Perth. Apart from agriculture, bauxite and gold-mining are the major industries. The town is...

Our high school reunion is over

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Mar

We attended a High School reunion yesterday for my former classmates. I went to a state-run school but Vince went to a convent school and, being a year younger, was a year behind me. However, the convent only went to 3rd year...

Elegant dancing at Harmony Day

Judy Evans @JudyEv (304994) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Mar

Yesterday we went to a Harmony Day at the nearby Recreation Centre. I thought it was an international ‘Day’ but it seems maybe not. It’s meant to promote unity and diversity among different cultures and nationalities. We were...
